Great experience!

I’m happy to be coming back to this website to leave a review, because I spent quite a bit of time researching Boulder area senior living centers on this site when I was moving my mother from out of state last year. After visiting several options in Boulder we settled on Brookdale Meridian in South Boulder. We could not be happier! Mom has made great friends, enjoys the food, feel supported by the staff and has thoroughly enjoyed herself since moving in. It is a comfortable place with an upbeat social environment and great staff. Mom enjoys meeting interesting people, chatting about everyone’s pets, and participating in the monthly birthday dinner. While the long time ED stepped down two months ago, things seem to be rolling along just fine under the new director. Grateful for this resource in Boulder.

Highly Recommended

Based on the experience I have had so far with Brookdale Meridian Boulder, I would recommend this community to others! IT is in a great location and overall a great community. However when it comes to the meals that are prepared, that could be improved.

Like what we saw.

We were impressed with the apartments we were shown. There are multiple options for very livable floor plans. We appreciated meeting staff who are knowledgeable and helpful.

Touring - then resident.

We have experienced an extremely gracious and constructive introduction to the Meridian's staff and its facilities. We already feel embraced by a loving and dedicated staff that are great to be around.

can't beat it

Friendliness. Support. Expertise. Comfort. Stimulation. Community. Opportunities. Peace and quiet. Excursions. Privacy. Freedom. Flexibility. I could go on and on. I was anxious when my folks moved in; I’d seen how unimpressive facilities can be even when there’s nothing actually wrong. But now I take the advantages of Brookdale Meridian Boulder for granted. The director understands what she's doing to a depth I can't even imagine. She's a great team builder too, so the whole staff is that way. She actively encourages input from the residents about food, events, services, anything. She's kept the community healthy through the worst of the pandemic. With no compromise on safety, the community stays comfortable and interesting. It’s true that hiring is really hard lately; they’re completely up front about it, and they work hard to minimize the impact on residents. I'm not currently looking for myself, but if and when I am, I don't see how one could improve on Brookdale Meridian Boulder.

Come and look at it yourself

Sometimes the front desk lady is friendly. Sometimes she's grumpy. Housekeeping isn't the best. It depends on who is working that day. A lot of the residents complain about the food. But the apartment is nice and spacious with a good kitchen.

One Big Family

We are a large enough community to have numerous activities that are well attended. No resident is a stranger here. We're like a larger group of friends. You could say we're one big, happy family.

Basically the retirement is five, but there is a serious problem for them hiring help, in the dining room, with drivers, etc.

Works for me

I moved here from a residence elsewhere. The staff are pleasant (if overworked - hiring challenges). The residents are content for the most part, it's hard to accept some of the consequences of Covid, hence the 4s below.

A Wonderful Community

The Meridian is a great place for my parents to live. The staff is like family. They are always there to help out and they really care about every resident. The residents are interesting and fun to be around. We've had many great occasions here and survived a couple crisis together. I can't say enough about the care given to my parents at The Meridian.
