Meridian Care & Rehabilitation Center

So far so good. Dad is happy here and says everyone has been kind to him. Although outdated, facilities are roomy and clean. Some of the therapists are trained in the LSVT Big & Loud program which is great since my dad has Parkinson's.

The most supplied place, I ever seen! They have everything for medical care, good food, great activities, very friendly staff, churches attend the residents as they wish!

This companies new name is Creekside Transitional Care And Rehabilitation. If I could leave a 0 star rating I would. We check my grandfather Jimmy into this skilled nursing facility about 3 years ago after his Multiple Sclerosis progressed into 24 hour, advanced care. It started out organized and friendly. They sent a shuttle to pick my grandfather up at our house and take him to Genesis Meridian Care. They did not do an initial inventory sheet, we found out later, and WE had to fill out an inventory sheet. The staff started out by taking great care of him; by giving him his medication, assisting him with eating, bathing regularly, and shaving. The basic-advanced help he required (ADL). It went down hill from there!!!! The staff lost Jimmys dentures 2x, and broke the front tooth out the 3rd set. The staff all together quite putting his dentures in and they no longer fit in his mouth, requiring him to not longer be able to chew harder foods. The staff also lost MULTIPLE sets of hearing aids. The staff that does laundry switch 90% of Jimmys clothes with another client clothes OR just gave him the grungy lost/left over clothes, with holes in them, that were 3XL. Yes, we put his name on the inside of his clothes. The staff could not find his "nice/ matching/ sweat suits" we bought for my grandfather before going to Genesis Home Care. Within a year Genesis Meridian Center had over 15 different staff member that worked with my grandfather. No staff was ever consistent with the care Jimmy. I would randomly pop in and he would be SOILED, NOT SHAVEN W/ LONG DIRTY FINGERNAILS, and LONG SCRAGGLY HAIR and just left him in his room uncomfortable in his bed. After Jimmy got bed sores, the staff brought a "blow-up" mattress in. On 2 different occasions I saw "BLUE/GREEN bruises" on his temple eye!!! I talked CONSTANTLY TO THE STAFF ABOUT THESE ISSUE!!!!! THEY NEVER GOT FULLY RESOLVED. I DO NOT recommend you leaving your loved ones here at this location. The sad thing is that my grandfather lost the ability to speak. I would talk to the clients that could speak and they said the care is ummmmmm fair, to not good. When we would feed Jimmy he would eat 100% of his food..When a staff member was at the table of elderly, feeding each of them, they would chart that Jimmy would only eat 25% of his food..That's weird bc if you spent time with each client, they would probably eat all of there food as Jimmy did for us, the family. When my grandfather past a little bit ago I was give his belongings from the center. We went in later to see about his BSU blanket that was taken and not given to us; Also, his expensive wheelchair, the staff said they did not have Bc it was not on his inventory. Again I do not recommend this Center at all.

Creekside is under new management as of 11/1/18 and I can tell a marked difference in resident happiness, staff satisfaction, and the feeling of the facility. It's a great place to be!

I was here for 3 weeks after back surgery. The staff on my floor were really good to me. They always spent time to explain things and kept me comfortable. The Activity room kept us busy with card games and Bingo. Yes, the food was cold and not all that great. But you can have food brought in.
