Arlington Riverside Senior Community

This facility did not meet the standards or environment I would want my mother to live in. The neighborhood was not desirable.

The Meridian of Riverside is a very clean and well-maintained community. If it was closer to my home, I wouldn't hesitate to chose this community. The staff and tour guide were very friendly and knowledgeable.

The staff at this community were great. They were friendly and helpful. Mom enjoyed the food. They do offer daily activities. The community was kept clean and I would recommend it.

At first we were very impressed with personal attention and overall facility. However, some billing issues and very slow service and rape to personal care needs at times and with the major change in food service times, now dinner is so early it is ridiculous, have changed our view. It is still a good value, safe, clean, and with the basic amenities, but there are definite issues.

I toured here, and it was really nice. It was very comparable to most of the places I looked at, both in terms of cost and quality. The director ended up talking to me for about an hour answering my questions, not just about the community but also about just the situation in general. I never got the feeling that he was trying to sell me on his community, just that he wanted me to find the right community. They were very helpful!

the staff is friendly, and I have really nothing to complain about. Although there is a lot of processed food. You can order a salad ahead of time though.

Well they were very accommodating and very easy to work with when we put my mom in there. They are friendly and tried to work out the best possible deal according to her finances and helped us out a lot with that. I really enjoyed dealing with them.

We're very pleased with how things have gone with Meridian of Riverside! The people here are so friendly, and so helpful! We really have no complaints! The facility is clean and well kept, and they do a great job looking out for the people who live here!

They have taken good care of our loved one. There is not really anything I can think of for improvements, they are doing what they can. They have a good staff and as long as they are doing what they are doing, it is good.

Wonderful facility. I look forward to placing my dad into respite care there soon.

This most fit our needs of the ones I saw today. Nice place, nice staff. Manageable as far as cost. Small studio, no kitchenette. Nice bath.

The physical space was depressing, very dated. Except for front of building views were into the windows of dated apartment buildings or parking lots. Balcony areas were shared between 2-3 residents and tight fit for any chairs.

There was a lack of medication, I spent the night there, and saw that they didn't give him his medication, first hand. [removed] and they felt that giving me a hundred dollars to compensate, was more than generous. After twenty days she went from no wounds to having one down to the bone. My parents were there for a very short time, and I believe that their lack of care is what led to the string of complications that my mother has now passed away from. My dad lost almost 20 pounds, when he was there. The call buttons didn't work, and they convinced me to spend over a hundred dollars on a pendant that they didn't respond to either. When I went to visit one day my father was quite noticeably wearing my mother's clothes. They are a despicable, horrible place. [removed] and [removed] are the directors. Other families have been worried about medications, and their loved ones passed away too. It's the same people that ran the facility that was here before, that was shut down, now they just operate under a different name, and license. This means there is no background on their license to check. When people look at the facility ask how long they have been operating under that license, if it's brand new, do some more checking on the previous owners and license, see if it's the same people.

We are very happy with them. We really like the staff. From the minute we walked in everyone says hi and wants to know how they can help. They work really hard, and they are always happy to do their job. We are thrilled with the quality of care. Our loved one is not typically one to join in on activities, and here he is, so they are good at engaging him. The food is good as well.

As in all places, some caregivers are better than others. a few policies have recently changed relating to feeding times. The food is almost all pre-prepared and then reheated. "Home cooked" would be an improvement. The medical staff is excellent.

I put my dad there after much searching and I was so pleased. He was very happy there (he has since passed) but they took very good care of him. I didn't worry. Room was clean, food was good. Staff was wonderful and caring! He emjoyed getting out to go shopping and the activities there. His room was big with a big easy to use bathroom. There wasn't one thing I was unhappy with. I wish I had done it sooner. He was happier there than he was alone most of the time in his little apartment. I came a rather long distance too and they were all so wonderful in helping him get settled.

Dear Vicky, I realize that I have the pleasure of being able to speak to you at anytime in your office, but I felt that I need to express many thanks to you in writing for the care and attention that you and your staff, mainly Ms. Christina Harris, LVN, have extended for my wife. As you are aware that I came to Meridian from another Assisted Living Facility, because the condition there were not what I expected in Assisted Living, and the clinical care was not adequate if I needed. Meridian has made me feel secure here vs where we were. My wife has progressed with her memory problem, but you took special care until she is placed in a memory care facility. The care that you provide was the first real battle of the condition with my wife. This prompted me to thank both of you and "Care Givers" for this attention. It should be noted that Ms. Harris stayed most of the night personally caring for my wive, also having your comforting assistance during the evening sun downing which included caring for me. Please thank all of the "care givers" for us as they all go beyond "just doing a job".

If they had a spokesperson or a go between between the RNs/LVNs and us because he was so far along, further along than we realized, and it wasn't like he was abled bodied so to speak, so it would have been betterr to have someone there to help. Maybe we could have paid for more care to get there, we were there such a short time we couldn't really develop that relationship. The care was good, we just didn't have enough time. The only thing that was a hint of [removed] if you're new to places you're just kind of lost, they don't have a greeter or somebody to teach you how it's all going to go down. They have somebody that sits down with you at first but he's more of the financial guy. I know more about senior communities than I ever wanted to know.

Super clean, super professional, grounds are green, maintained well. very nice floor plans of total layout of the property.

The people are very helpful; The staff is very kind and friendly with the clients. The facility is clean and well cared for. The food is good.
