Independent Living Community in San Marcos, California

I have lived here at the meridian since the beginning. I was the 3rd person to move in. We are very fortunate because we have beautiful grounds to enjoy and walk around. Lots of beautiful well-maintained flowers and landscape. It is so wonderful that I don’t have to do my laundry they do it for me. They also clean my apartment every week. Launa, the Executive Director, is top-notch. She runs our community so well. She is so beautiful and elegant and throws terrific parties. She threw me a suprime 99th birthday party and she has able to get the Mayor of our city to come! Shaun M. is very friendly and professional and he can help you find an apartment.

The apartment at Brookdale San Marcos had a kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom. The place was clean and looked nice. Meals were included and they provide activities. The staff member was very helpful, very pleasant, has followed up a couple of times, and is very thorough. I was happy and pleased. The dining hall was nice, and they had activity rooms.

The Meridian at Lake San Marcos was gorgeous, and the food was all done by chefs and dieticians. When you first drive up, it's beautiful. When you first walk in, it's absolutely spectacular, with high ceilings and Italian villa décor that was warm and inviting. The people were very gracious and professional. They had a lot of experienced, licensed people. The residents were all healthy looking, and a lot were walking around on their own. The dining room was beautiful, and the food looked very nice and well-presented. The room selection had different, great floor plans. I like that you can have a small pet and that they're allowed to decorate their door to determine that it's different from somebody else's. They also had a pool. Austin, the nice young man who helped us was spectacular, really professional, and knew his stuff. We had a great conversation, and he took us everywhere. He knew my parents were very skeptical, so he has been very patient and checked in with me from time to time. The overall facility was super clean and really nice, bright and sunny, not dark and dingy.

I like Silvergate San Marcos a lot. My mom has enjoyed it, but now she needs a little bit more care. Every time we upped the care, it would cost us more. Nevertheless, I think it is a great place. I would recommend it to anybody. The food is good. They have something going on all the time. They have different kinds of games, bingo, bridge class, exercise classes, and movies. The place is great; I like it. It is a nice size, it is not small, and it is a good value.

Brookdale San Marcos is good. The staff is very nice. They have a lot going on like exercise programs and get-togethers. My father is in a one-bedroom apartment and it's very nice and spacious. I'm not too crazy about the dining area, but it's nice. They have housekeeping and laundry, and they take them to the doctor, on outings, on scenic drives, and to various places.
