They are amazing with my dad. I sincerely couldn’t ask for a better place for him to be from the day you admit them to every single time you’re there, they honestly treat you like family. In a good way ☺️
After our initial shock of my brother having to go here after a surgery we were treated very well. Because we were scared, confused it was tough. Meridian staff worked with us constantly to comfort our needs. Their staff had work cut out for them with him but continuing to keep him comfortable they were on their toes. He was only 57 and the goal was to get him home unfortunately that could not happen. He built some amazing friendships and trust with the nurses and the staff. It was always nice to hear how they got him laughing. He had a great time going to a Wichita baseball game. They spoiled him to the degree he got to bring in his 85 inch TV. We had sad times and happy times and between the Sw, CNA and nurses not to mention transportation they got him through it. He has left to be with the Lord. Thank you Meridian for giving him care and friendship.
The aesthetics could be better, but you will walk into a building hearing laughter and happy faces,so much kindness and care. Over look what you see and what you don't see. I much rather be taken care of by ppl who are beautiful on the inside then ppl in a beautiful building and ppl that are ugly and unhappy.I had to tell this one lady crystal slow down you're working to hard, bc how she feels as much as the residents.Go and check it out very good ppl, very good place.Y'all come see now!
First and foremost, I think it's worth pointing out that almost every 5 star review is unfortunately created by staff of the facility. Marty Yurst - Tutera marketing, Candy McGinnis - regional nurse consultant for Tutera, Chris Burkart - Regional Director of operations Tutera, Rodney - administrator, RC also administrator, Brett - on staff volunteer. Also, the previous residents 5 star reviews are also created by staff. You can tell by the similar grammar used in every review. In reality this facility is filthy, unprofessional, and poorly managed. The administrator is rarely available on site. When he is there, he is hidden in different offices to avoid staff or residents. And good luck getting him on the phone. The kitchen is decent but almost always out of everything, even the "always available" menu. The rooms are BARELY cleaned. Residents have to beg for their floors to be mopped. A new resident can come in with a full wardrobe and be left with two shirts and a pair of pants a month later, an ongoing problem and a FREQUENT resident complaint that is never taken seriously. The weekend staff is a major complaint. They don't get anyone up, no showers and it's not likely that anyone even gets checked on for almost a whole shift. They don't pass out ice water, clean wash cloths for them to wash their faces, most of them are covered in food after meals and don't even get their shirts wiped off, and they aren't likely to even make a bed when their resident gets up for the day. The admissions department makes ridiculous promises that the facility is not equipped to keep. Residents (even cognitively impaired) have been given the go ahead to take themselves out on smoke breaks whenever they feel like it resulting in a few minor grass fires and burn holes in cushions and clothes. Not to mention the nursing staff just isn't all that friendly to the residents, families or newcomers. They just stand or sit at the nurses stations with their phones out and have really poor attitudes. Grievances written by residents are almost never taken seriously, word is most of them end up being shredded. The bugs are also out of control. You can't walk around or into any rooms without getting attacked by flies. It's truly disgusting. I wouldn't put a family member, friend or even my worst enemy at this place. If you do, good luck..
I appreciate all of the help that I received from the staff. KUDOS to my nurse Oscar, Kellogg my CNA and my Social Worker Tammy for helping me through the process while I was here. Everyone was very helpful. Dietary did a fabulous job I complained because nursing staff made my bed everyday. Therapy helped getting me back to where I was strong enough to go home. My room was always clean and tidy, thanks to housekeeping. I would highly recommend Meridian.
