We live in the independent living of Meridian. We have a beautiful 3bed 2.5 bath apartment. We really enjoy the lifestyle they offer us. We chose this place because of their amazing dining room. We don't have to cook anymore. Their restaurant is open all day from 7am-7pm, and the staff is very professional. They also have a really spacious underground parking garage. Our car is safe and out of the weather. The garage also connects the entire community, so if it is raining we can still get around.... Read more

December 31, 2018Anonymous, thank you for your kind words and this wonderful review!
Mom has lived there for over a year in independent living. Staff very nice and helpful, lots of great activities offered every day. Beautiful, new, upscale, clean and fun place. The price is reasonable compare to other similar facilities in San Diego. Her only complaint is with the food. Not as good as they profess.

March 24, 2021Love One's Daughter, thank you for your kind words and this wonderful review!
I think it’s pretty good. They currently offer independent, assisted, and memory care. They were very accommodating. It’s a pretty nice place. The parking is fine. My mother likes the food well enough.

January 16, 2019Thank you for your review.
Lovely facility, quite upscale, but lacking warmth. Independent Living dining & common areas have much more appeal than Assisted Living facilities, and while told that 'sometimes' A.L. residents might be able to use the I.L. facilities, also told that this is subject to change once new A.L. Building opens. Food was fine, nothing exciting. All parking is underground and elevator accessible. No stoves in 'full' kitchens, and microwaves not provided.

Brand new. 93 Independent units. 109 Assisted. 45 Memory care. I saw Marbella Model and Calivera Studio Model. Have to walk outside to get to dining area in the Club House. No nursing stations. People wear pendents to push for help. Response team is supposed to be immediately. If want infor then have to go to receptionist at the desk in the clubhouse. Dining and units felt similar to being on a cruise. Had a pool. I just didn't care for it for some reason. Kinda of impersonal and uppity.

December 12, 2018We are disappointed to hear that you did not have a more positive experience with us at The Meridian at Lake San Marcos.
I'm so glad that "A Place for Mom" helped me find The Meridian at Lake San Marcos! I did not know about it and it has turned out to exceed both mine and my mom's expectations. Mom says she feels this is living "a normal living style" versus a typical retirement community. She thinks this is why the residents are so warm and friendly, let alone the terrific staff that learned her name immediately. All of the family love coming to visit her and dine at their fantastic restaurant, where you have a wide selection of menu options and can eat any time the restaurant is open. And it's nice you can actually order a drink - that's really a classy retirement community! The Meridian also turned out to be the best price of all the locations I researched (12 different facilities). It was also important to me that the "Independent Living" buildings were separate from "Assisted Living." At the Meridian, both are beautifully appointed and managed.

February 25, 2019Janice F., your wonderful feedback and rating mean a lot to us.
It is a brand new building. Very nice, everything was very new, but they were barely opening up their assisted living when I went to tour it, and the grounds were just cement, no gardens or anything like that. Because they were new they didn't have any acts lined up yet. I didn't liked the grounds, they were not very serene. It was basically parking spaces. I think they were formerly condos or apartments that they were converting into a retirement community. It's fine, for a completely independent living person, they are probably good.
