I cannot say enough great things about Meridian at Lake San Marcos. From the beginning when I was looking for a place to move my parents due to their health, we have been treated kindly and with honesty. The facilities are beautiful and well taken care of. The staff is always available for any questions or help. They offer a wide array of activities and amenities and even transportation to doctor's appointments and shopping. I feel very comforted with my parents' care at Meridian.

I have lived here at The Meridian for 13 months, and I really like it here. The grounds are well kept and beautiful and clean. There are all kinds of activities available for all residents. There is a different movie every night in the movie theater. I enjoy the morning exercise classes and Sunday church services. I am a part of the chimes program and we preform every couple months. The food is very good and the serving staff is very good at what they do. The restaurants are beautiful and well kept. The care-staff is very friendly and always attentive. The Meridian has computers always available in the library. I really enjoy the transportation services and they take me to all my medical appointments and to go shopping. The maintenance group is great and they have helped me with many things in my apartment. All around a great community and I really recommend taking a look around!

I work in the healthcare field, and I always enjoy when I have the opportunity to work at The Meridian. I also enjoy when i am able to refer a client to this community. The staff, Tee, Launa, Shaun, Jessica, Socorro, Austin, are extremely professional and care about their residents. The Meridian has the highest quality of care. Their nurses and carestaff work extremely well with outside care agencies when needed to ensure all needs are being met. I have had the pleasure to eat lunch at The Meridian a few times, and the food by Chef Mark is amazing. The grounds, common areas, and apartments are always very clean. Give this place a look, they are great!

Our aunt recently moved into The Meridian and it has been such a blessing. Her home was becoming too much for her and depressing. She had no socialization, and nothing to do all day except watch TV. We found out about the meridian from a friend and decided to take a few looks. We got her settled into her studio, with the help of Shaun and Austin, which was a perfect size for her, and she has since blossomed. The maintenance team hung all her pictures and even wall mounted her TV. She enjoys all the social programs and going down to the restaurant to eat. We have had dinner with her a couple times and I think I am in a 5-star restaurant. She has made so many great friends that she does all the activities with. Housekeeping comes every week and takes care of her laundry and cleans for her. She loves taking the bus to go shopping and go on the different outings they do. The grounds are always so nice and clean. My mom gets her hair done in the meridian salon every week, and enjoys the aqua fitness classes! The entire management team, Launa, Shaun, Austin, Sylvia etc. are extremely talented at running such a beautiful community. Check this place out we love it!!!!

I have lived at The Meridian for a year and a half. This is my third assisted living community I’ve lived in. I enjoyed all 3, but this one is far superior. Our director, Launa, knows all the residents and the employees by name. She is extremely visible, and she is not the kind to stay in her office all day. I had a short stint in a local rehab/skilled nursing, and Launa came to visit me while I was there. I came back home and the meridian provided more assistance for me, and after time as I got stronger, I was able to decrease the support. They are very good about re-assessing your needs. Our Executive Chef, Mark, is outstanding! The food is always delicious and dining staff has great service. The meridian has a full bar and is very friendly. You or your guests can have a drink at very reasonable prices. Most places don’t offer a gym, and those that do are sadly lacking. The meridian gym is exceptional, not only do we have different machines but it stays extremely clean and there’s exercise classes with an instructor! They will even teach you how to use them! Our maintenance team as well as Adam, our groundskeeper, does a great job! Adam was employee of the month and year. A man who truly loves his job and does it well. The grounds are immaculate. The Meridian is animal friendly and that is important to me. The activities are very diverse and there’s lots of options. Call Shaun or Austin for a tour! These gentleman will take care of you and definitely have lunch!

I am/was a resident of this facility

I searched many facilities before choosing The Meridian. It was by far the best place I found. I have a one bedroom apartment and my furniture fits beautifully. I have lived here for two and a half years and have been very happy here. The staff is very caring and the residents are friendly. The food is as good as any facility and I always can find something on the menu that satisfies me. I enjoy many of the activities they provide, especially the bus trips that are planned for us every month. I lost my husband soon after moving in here and everyone was so supportive. I would recommend The Meridian to anyone who is looking for a nice place to live

I am/was a resident of this facility

The Meridian is a astounding community. The architecture is unmatched and fits beautifully into the lake San macros community. My husband and I chose to move into the Meridian at Lake San Marcos for many reasons. The first reason is having meals prepared for us daily. Cooking was becoming a daily chore. The second reason is the housekeeping service. Housekeeping had become a hassle after many many years of cleaning. The third reason we chose the meridian is due to the fact that they have a dog park. Our dog is part of the family and we would not have moved anywhere that did not have a out door space for him. The most important reason we chose the meridian is being close to our family. Lastly When we moved in we made many new friends and established great friendships. The staff here have all been accommodating to our needs and they are very easy to approach. If you have any request or concerns the are more than willing to assist. The meridian has many amenities. They have a hair salon with great hair stylist. They have physical therapy that my husband has taken advantage of. Alex has been great with my husband and is very caring towards his needs. They also have a Gym that i use daily. There are many different workout classes that fit all ages and groups. The bus service has been very accommodating.

The meridian is a beautiful and friendly environment. It has lovely architecture, grounds, and a great location. We have a fabulous two bedroom and a den apartment that is very spacious and has all the amenities that we could want. The staff in the meridian are all really great. The staff is always cheerful, friendly, and helpful. My husband and i enjoy going to the meridian theater and using the gym almost daily. The meridian offers two meals a day and weekly housekeeping. Moving into a community was a really hard decision but it has been well worth is due to the friendships we have created. This community creates an environment for making new friends and makes life easier. We feel very fortunate that we are able to live here at this stage in our life.

I am/was a resident of this facility

I have been a resident of the Meridian at Lake San Marcos for 11 months. The first time visited the facility, the people were so friendly and everyone greeted me with a nod and a big smile. I moved from the Los Angeles area and i could not be happier. However, one will find it a different sort of living from where they moved. I am in independent living and the meridian at Lake San Marcos offers assisted living and memory care. I am adjusted to my new way of living and it did not take long. There is something to do every day, if you choose. The activities are listed every month on a activities Calendar. You can pick and choose what you like or just spend a leisure day walking around the beautiful grounds or sit by the pool with a good book. Life could not be better. Transportation is available for Doctors appointments, shopping, scenic drives, and outings. Meals are prepared in the beautiful dining room located in the clubhouse. There is also a beauty salon, movie theater, activity room, library, Game room, and pool to mention some of the amenities. My first trip to visit family and be in a different environment for a week was nice However, when i returned to my apartment at the meridian and opened the door, I said " I am home". It was a wonderful feeling.

We have lived here nearly one year. From the beginning we have felt apart of the meridian family. The staff and residents are all very open, caring, and supportive in the experience in adjusting to a different life style. The apartments are spacious and well planned. They are beautifully appointed and have amazing amenities. I have nothing but good things to say about the staff. They are very caring and will go out of there way to assist you in your daily needs. The meridian offers a wide range of activities that we attend on occasion. The meridian is a great place to live and has an amazing atmosphere.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My aunt moved into The Meridian 3 years into their independent living. From the moment she moved in, everything was amazing! Great food, friendly staff, amazing activities, and a beautiful Lake View 1bedroom apartment with a full kitchen and washer dryer! Last month, we had to transition my aunt from independent to their memory care. The meridian staff, Launa, tee, Shaun and Austin made the transition so easy. Our aunt gets amazing care and support from Tee and her staff. They do so many great activities to help with her cignition. When you’re looking for senior living care, the meridian is the place!

As an employee at The Meridian of Lake San Marcos I can say that it is a very amazing and welcoming senior living community where everyone revolves themselves around the kind and warm hearted residents enjoying their opportunity to work with them, having the pleasure to welcome them with a smile everyday. I would personally like to give an appreciation and a shout out to Victoria Taverna, Dining room manager who is not only amazing with her own staff, making sure they have flexible schedule for their own personal lives but also an astonishing person with the residents as she is always making sure they are having the most memorable and best service possible.

We want to express our gratitude for the special community

Dear Launa, We want to express our gratitude for the special community you and your staff have created for the families at the Meridian. From first arrival we are welcomed by serene and beautiful grounds. The bubbling fountains, lush green plants and fragrant rose bushes provide a perfect relaxing setting. I know mom, dad & coco appreciate the dog part & dog path behind the building one. The staff are exceptional, the cleaning staff take care in their work and are open to requests. Dad’s caregivers and med tech are most helpful; and Lisa has quickly addressed any concerns raised. The food is always yummy & the menu varied. I know the breakfast crowd enjoy the special treats. (Donuts, cinnamon buns, pancakes, waffles) Each month the holiday celebration BBQs are delicious & offer many tasty choices. The servers are friendly and we remember how they remember dad’s special needs. There are so many activities offered from the cerebral, to the artistic, to physical. Mom especially enjoys the bridge games and her work on the board. The special recognition of service men & women on the wall of valor is lovely. Your creation of Cyprus room was brilliant. It was a wonderful intimate setting for dad’s 90th birthday celebration. We really appreciate the time Mark spent with mom to develop a menu that worked for everyone! The service was exceptional and the carrot cake was delicious. The attention to detail and efforts to create a caring community are greatly appreciated. With Thanks!

Our Aunt lives at The Meridian and we are so impressed with the care she receives. The staff is very knowledgeable about dementia. The memory care is very clean and residents are always clean and tidy. They do so many great activities and even water fitness classes in their pool for memory care residents. They have a very nice courtyard and great healthy food. They do outings and recently went to the Del Mar Fair. My aunt loves to garden and they have her purpose by buying plants and soil and she has her own garden box in the courtyard. Tee, the memory care director/nurse is always very responsive and cares about our aunt. A big thank you to the meridian for taking such great care of everyone that lives there!

We moved to The Meridian from our home in Santa Ynez, California. We had lived in the Valley for many years but decided to downsize to a more manageable home. The yard and upkeep on our house had become too much for us, so it seemed best to relocate. Southern California was our first choice and we decided to look in the San Diego area where the climate was ideal. We had close family living in Carlsbad and liked their location. With family help, we found the perfect spot and community when we visited The Meridian at Lake San Marcos. We moved in to a lovely two bedroom apartment and have lived here nearly nine months. We found a caring and friendly community of other people who have quickly become friends. We have a small dog and one of our requirements was to have a pet friendly place to live. This place is perfect for us as many of the residents have "furry friends" and it has been a great way to establish new connections. We walk our pets several times every day and visit the dog park as part of our daily outings. Lots of visiting happens there, with other residents as well as our pets! Our apartment is spacious, beautiful and comfortable. We enjoy the delicious meals in our dining room, but also have a complete kitchen as well. The Meridian staff is outstanding! They are always willing to help with occasional problems and are just a phone call away. We enjoy weekly housekeeping and maintenance as needed. We feel as though we are part of a friendly community which has become family to us. Very grateful to be here! Joan and Wally Fuller

My wife and I lived here for about 6 months now, and we have found the community is very well managed and controlled. The staff is amazing to work with and beyond caring. Once you find out what they have available to you your lifestyle improves tremendously. They have a pool, theater, many activities and outings, and happy hour with live entertainment. My wife has since moved into the meridians memory care for the last 4 months. I’ve found she’s made great improvements since moving in there. The director, Tee, and her staff are absolutely phenomenal. Very caring and professional in what they do. I find it very satisfying for me knowing she’s getting the care she needs. For me, I have been in assisted living. I have found that very accommodating. They take care of my medications. Great food by chef mark and his server staff. 5 star top of the line food with many varieties. Full service bar for us that have desire for wine or a mixed cocktail. Shaun, Austin, and Launa were very helpful during our move-in process and made the transition smooth.

I have lived here at The Meridian for 4 months, and I think it is thoroughly enjoyable. After comparing various senior living facilities, I have noticied the following significant differences: #1) The Meridian has apartments larger than any other facilities I have visited. #2) A requirement to work at The Meridian is your ability to sincerely enjoy working with people. #3) The meals are excellent as they are at many of the other facilities. #4) The opportunities for lifestyle activities are available for all who care to use them. #5) Transportation is available for medical, shopping, and outings. #6) There are beauty shops, weight rooms, assembly rooms, libraries, theater, full bar, and pool all available when and if desired. #7) And finally, the management at the Meridian is not only knowledge but very very friendly.

Difficult to put into words how much I like this place and the staff in it. Austin, my first contact there, seamlessly helped me get my mom from the hospital into a studio at The Meridian in one day. She feels like she’s at The Four Seasons. He appears to know everyone by name. And, two days after her move he went and brought her down to an art class. The guy couldn’t be busier yet he found time to do that! You can tell he genuinely loves these people and his job. Lastly, I looked at others - this was not the most expensive! So grateful??

My sister in law lived at The Meridian from the opening of the building until she died. She lived there about 3 or 4 years in a lovely, adequately large one bedroom apartment. I had the opportunity to visit her several times. She enjoyed being there and made many friends. Many opportunities for activities were available, the dining pleasant and good as well as being surrounded with a beautiful setting. When she became ill and transferred to total care she received excellent care.

What an amazing day yesterday at the Activity Professional Workshop at the Meridian at Lake San Marcos. Patrick Carney’s presentation was dynamic, it showed us how to calculate our own personal DISC profile based on your everyday typical behavior. We learned that by knowing your DISC profile and of others around you, you’ll have a more effective two-way communication outcome working together side by side. During the drumming circle presentation. Everyone was in sync to the beating of the drums as if they played together for a long time and Minnie was the Maestro that orchestrated the whole ensemble band. It was invigorating and fun! Participants had the opportunity to experience various healing modalities first-hand and had Q&A session with Minding Motion and ending the day with Kira Anthofer's Laughter Yoga! Oh My Goodness, how energetic and refreshing! "Clap your hands to each word from side to side and go, Ho-Ho, Ha-Ha-Ha!" This class was echoed throughout the whole building and residents wondered where all the booming laughter was coming from. Overall, the workshop was a success and we had an incredible-educational time! ADGSD would like to give countless Thanks to Launa and Dina at The Meridian at Lake San Marcos for hosting this year’s annual Activity Professional Workshop. The Activity Directors of Greater San Diego held their Annual Workshop at the Meridian on April 27th. Dina Scalia, Activity Director was the Host for the event. Dina was an exceptional, she provided a beautiful and professional atmosphere for the training classes. Chef Mark provided the attendees with a tasty lunch. With the love and support of the Executive Director, Launa and Dina and Chef Mark, their touches made our Workshop shine!!! Our sincere appreciation and gratitude go out to them.

Absolutely WONDERFUL senior care facility for my mother, who had a recent birthday, and is 91-years’ young. Compared to other facilities we’ve been at, and visited, The Meridian is preeminent in so many ways. The property is picturesque, near a beautiful lake and located in the heart of San Marcos. The meals served, and staffing are both superb, with continual enhancements being made throughout the year. Thank you for being there, TEAM!

I can sum up my impression of The Meridian at Lake San Marcos in two simple words: First Class. I have the pleasure of not only performing piano there but for the past five years have conducted weekly Sunday morning church services for this wonderful community. Each and every time I visit there’s the feeling of elegance, warmth and attentiveness. I’ve been around long enough to know full well this doesn’t happen all by itself. It takes someone with foresight and deliberate thought to organize and create such an atmosphere and Dina Scalia is the one who makes it all happen. Her diligence and proactive approach to serving the dear souls of this community is evident throughout. Furthermore she makes herself fully accessible to address any concerns that arise and handles each and every one with dispatch. There’s an old business saying that, “it can take YEARS to find a customer, but only SECONDS to lose one” and I have no doubt that The Meridian at Lake San Marcos is most fortunate to have someone like Dina on their staff. She’s the cheerful face behind the well-oiled machine that keeps The Meridian at the top!

One of the best communities in all of San Diego. As one of the entertainers i can personally say that, the environment is very welcoming, and the workers are phenomenal. They are all kind-hearted. Dina Scalia the person in charge of activities is very professional in her work, as well as being one of the nicest people ive met in the community .

6 months ago today I moved into The Meridian at Lake San Marcos Independent Living. "I think I've died and gone to Heaven and wish I'd moved here yrs. ago". Our Director Launa and her Staff go above and beyond to see that we are all taken care of addressing our individual needs. Delicious food/tons of activities/shopping trips and a monthly calendar with endless choices of things to do. Assisted Living & Memory Care are part of the Complex so I'll never have to move again. I love it!

I work frequently with this property and have been so amazed with the assistance provided from both Lisa and Jessica (Residential Service Director and Assisted Living Director). They go above and beyond for their residents wellbeing everyday! I always feel privileged to work with a resident at this property, because there is a level of trust and standard that is required (as should be everywhere)!

I recently toured this community. It is a very lovely. Amazing leadership on all levels. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I consider it a five star community for the following reasons. 1. Super friendly staff work there they are always willing to engage and help you as soon as you walk in the door. 2. The grounds are very manicured and kept very clean. The community presents as a Mediterranean style which goes along with the Southern California motify of lifestyle. 3. There are always many activities to choose from every day for the residence here. The food is top notch at all times of the day. I consider this community of five star community and then around the San Diego area.

I have nothing but positive things to say about The Meridian. I moved my mom into the meridian in December 2016 into their assisted living with the help of Shaun their sales director. This was the best move we could have made! My mom has been extremely happy at the meridian and receives exceptional care and always participates in the various daily activities. The community has great management led by the executive director, Launa, and the nurses, Jessica, Lisa, and Tee. Socorro and daisy the med techs do a great job! The front desk girls Aline and Ivey are always so friendly when you arrive. We have sinced moved mom into their memory care. This was a smooth transition and another amazing decision. Also, the food is outstanding. I work in the catering business, and I always get a great meal when I visit my mom. Chef mark goes above and beyond to ensure all his residents’ dietary needs are met. Definelty worth taking a look here! You will not regret it!

I recently visited the Meridian and couldn’t be more impressed with the beautiful grounds, the food in the restaurant and the caring staff. Everywhere I turned , I was greeted with a smile. I was fortunate enough to meet the Manager, Lana. She not only takes care of her residents, but their guests as well. Overall, The Meridian is filled with warmth and genuine hospitality. Thank you Lana for all you do for everyone who walks through your door!

Review of The Meridian at Lake San Marcos

We moved to The Meridian November 2018. It is a lovely home. We especially appreciate the friendly and caring staff, all of whom do a wonderful job of meeting our needs. The maintenance staff has been especially helpful in responding to requests. We have had new furniture delivered which required some assembly, as well as help with placing things in storage, They are excellent, helpful, and kind. Thank you!

She is enjoying many of the activities they offer. We know she is safe and getting good care. I would highly recommend this community."
