The Meridian is by far the best senior living community I have ever seen. I have moved my dad to two senior living communities and this one by far takes it.

Living here has been the best experience of my life. I have made a lot of new friends being here and the staff is great. Servers go above and beyond to perform an outstanding fine dining experience. My caregivers are always responsive when I need them. Bingo is my favorite activity, not because I win or lose, but because of the amount of friends I have made here.

My mother was a resident of the Meridian at Lake San Marcos for 3.5 years and she absolutely LOVED it!!! The staff were always professional and truly caring! The amenities and activities are too numerous to detail and incredibly PHENOMENAL! I highly recommend and consider the Meridian the BEST in Southern California as I have had the opportunity to experience several!
