The Meridian at the Waterways in Fort Lauderdale offers spectacular and relaxing views of boats and yachts along the waterway, creating a peaceful and emotionally calming setting. The community offers wonderful amenities, including a wellness center and engaging activities for residents. It was a pleasure meeting with Brian Guertin, the Life Inspired Director, who, while preparing for a resident happy hour, enthusiastically shared some of the exciting upcoming programs and activities planned for the community. The compassionate care and thoughtful gestures of the staff toward their residents were truly remarkable and reflect a warm and welcoming environment.

If you are looking for the heart of The Meridian, look no further than Brian, the Director of Activity. He is a whirlwind of positive energy”lively, kind, and truly full of spark. What makes Brian so special is his unique ability to connect with every resident, regardless of their needs. He has a gift for encouraging participation in activities that keep everyone engaged and smiling. Most impressively, even the Memory Care residents know him by name and frequently express their appreciation for him. It is a huge peace of mind for families to know their loved ones are in the hands of someone so compassionate and dedicated. We love and appreciate everything he does!

My mother lived at Meridian at Waterways in Fort Lauderdale for 2 years. The staff were very friendly and always willing to help. The building is kept clean, the dining room is beautiful. There is a beauty salon on the premises. The terrace overlooking the waterway is comfortable and relaxing. I highly recommend this place.

The staff at The Meridian have been absolutely incredible. Initially, we weren't sure if The Meridian was an option for us, but Tina was wonderfully kind and found a way to make it work. We were in a challenging situation, needing to move my aunt directly from the hospital into assisted living, which required us to move fast. Tina was exceptionally gracious, even letting us use an apartment for a few days until we could get her furniture into her own space. The building itself is beautiful, feeling more like a boutique hotel with truly amazing views. We are so happy because she is so happy! Brian, who manages the activities, is wonderful, he watches out for her and has her help him, which gives her a renewed sense of purpose. I couldn't say enough positive things about The Meridian. For a very independent lady who lived alone for the second half of her life, the fact that she truly feels at home here speaks volumes.

I toured The Meridian looking for my Mother in Law a couple of weeks ago and had a great tour with Emanuel. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and not pushy. The community was quaint, easy to navigate, the restaurant on the top floor showed amazing views and there were several residents playing cards in the bar area. I am strongly considering The Meridian. Thank you, Emanuel for all of the information and pleasant experience!

We selected The Meridian because of the lovely dock overlooking the intracoastal and the convenient location. They recently hired new staff members who are making life for the residents better and more fun. The new Activities Director has come up with excellent experiences and goes to get those who might not hear the announcements to encourage them to get out and participate. Bringing in musicians and performers makes the residents so happy. Seeing them sing along, tap their toes, and dance to the music is a joy! Bless all the nurses, doctors, housekeepers, and caregivers. It’s such demanding work and we appreciate them all.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Meridian at Waterways. From the moment you walk in, you feel like family. The staff is warm, professional, and truly attentive to each resident’s needs. The facility itself is beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully designed with both safety and comfort in mind. Emanuel takes the time to answer every question with patience and honesty. He doesn’t just walk through the space”he paints a clear picture of what daily life would look like for the loved ones. His passion for the community truly shows, and he makes what could’ve been an overwhelming process feel comfortable and reassuring. If you’re looking for a place where your loved one will be respected, well-cared for, and treated with dignity, Meridian at Waterways is it.

Placing your parents or a special person into a care facility, requires many considerations. Think about how independent they can be and their level of function at home prior to the move. Our parents were doing well at home until a sudden health crisis for my caretaker father required a fast track move after short-term home health care was no longer feasible for them. Anticipate frustration because your loved one(s) were used to a certain lifestyle and likely not prepared for a structured environment. The bottom line is... it's just not easy; but you have to make a decision. After touring many facilities, we selected Meridian at Waterways for my parents. This facility has many unique amenities. We felt the Waterways staff showed desirable synergy and friendly demeanor. Since moving them, my family has visited several times and we continue to meet staff that are very welcoming and upbeat. Several structured events are provided daily with periods of scheduled interaction with staff. An added bonus is waterway views of the intercoastal canal. My parents can watch boat traffic out the windows during unstructured times from several windows in the building. Water taxis and many private boats drift by regularly, which is quite entertaining. In the first 8 months of my parents new stay in the Meridian, the Waterways team has shown good effort and compassion for my folks during their difficult transition from their home and then to extra levels of care. I believe many of the staff care about the residents and try to do what it takes to keep the room neat; and my parents well fed, groomed, dressed and active. Several key people actually try to enrich their lifestyle beyond the standard necessities. There is physical therapy available, nurses to provide support as needed, and an on-call doctor available. Of course they contact hospitals for emergencies. The facility does provide pre-planned transport for patients to doctor's appointments within close radius of the facility, services we've used. We felt in comparison to what we were told other facilities would provide, that Waterways is on par with decent providers. Let's face it, as people age and health declines unanticipated surprises happen. So far, staff have professionally handled setbacks and new needs. If you do your homework and know what to expect, it's unlikely that Meridian at Waterways will disappoint you. Meridian at Waterways handled medical issues that occurred on and off through the first months of my parents move-in satisfactorily. The team did what we would have wanted, as far as, contacting internal or external medical support as needed. If a 4.5 rating was available I'd give it. Yet because I'm not able to visit as often as I'd like, I can't dole out a top score until more time has passed and I have a better handle on my parents well being. As newer residents, they have not adjusted to their changed lifestyle yet, and we know it takes time for them to settle into a different routine. Expect to be proactively involved if you have specific requests, and know it takes a village to get things done, so be patient. Beatrice is amazing and several other staff from all the floors are also very helpful. What prompted me to do a review now was that a special effort was put in to make sure my father got to watch part of the multi-day Masters PGA Golf Tournament after our family requested for it him. Sports on TV is one of the few things our Dad still has left that he really enjoyed at home. Unfortunately because he is no longer able to operate the TV system without assistance, he can't watch TV without help. After coordination with several people in advance, staff turned his TV's on the final day of the tournament & a worker even joined him for a bit to shoot the breeze while he remainiced about the art of golfing. I hope support staff continue to help keep the machine greased, Team morale appears to be good at Meridian Waterways & if they continue to provide excellent service it could definitely be a five star rating next review.

My father recently passed away and I had to move my step mom closer to me as the primary caregiver. I toured many facilities as I wanted only the best for my mom. Well when I came to the Meridian, and met Ana, Kirk and Beatriz, I knew this was the place. The attention to detail; the knowledge and love they bring to what they do is amazing. From day one, they took time to learn about my mom- who has dementia and at stage 8 of her disease, and get to know her. You can tell they truly care and love what they do. I love how they have a lot of activities for them. They are not just sitting around like Zombies like some of the other places I toured. She gets to go for field trips, out to the dock to watch the boats, cars, planes and people pass by. They engage her in simple but stimulating activities. She is never bored. She is always clean and always smiling. Her room is always kept clean and tidy. I come at all hours of the day and I find this to always be the case. I am so happy to have the peace of mind knowing that my mom is in the very BEST of hands and in a place I would live myself when that day should come. It means so much to have such wonderful people, especially Beatriz, taking such great care of mom. Beatriz is truly an angel I know my dad is looking down smiling and saying this too. Bless you all for your love, care, professionalism and dedication. I appreciate everything you do.

I don’t write reviews often only if I have received exceptionally good or bad service. I cannot speak highly enough about the Meridian at Waterways where I recently moved my elderly stepdad. This place was one of the three highest rated in Fort Lauderdale and to me was the best of all worlds. Not only is this location, convenient and located on the Intercoastal so your loved one can watch boats go by and enjoy incredible water views. But they have the most amazing staff, facilities, food, and activities. Ana McKinney, Is the sales rep and I cannot speak highly enough about her. She is a wonderful, dynamic, and caring person who gets the job done quickly with minimal effort on your part. She has Awesome energy and is always smiling and happy to help. She is an extremely detailed person who does her work accurately & efficiently. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and an absolute asset at the institution. Rubio, his head of nursing and excellent, as is Rosemary, who is head of activities. Everyone is extremely friendly and efficient at doing their job. All the staff knew about my stepdad, where he was and what he did during the day Within two days of him being there! I also had the pleasure of dealing with Jaheim, who is in charge of maintenance. He installed the flat panels TV and completely set it up for my stepdad and taught him how to use it. He also set up his lift chair. He took care of everything in less than 24 hours from when the package was received even though it was on a holiday weekend! The Meridian, has an extensive Variety of activities for your loved one going on all day long and they even have movies virtually every night. Rosemary is the director and she is really on top of knowing what’s going on and where your loved one is And whether they participated or not, which she actively encourages to create a great community. The food at this place is amazing and is cooked to order not cafeteria style!!! There is amazing variety of food and it is all extremely tasty. The chef is very caring and dedicated to serving The highest quality, food, &accommodatingall your loved ones desires Frankly, as a Doctor Who has worked in multiple hospitals and nursing Facilities, I have never seen an institution run so expertly and such good natured & efficient staff as they have at the Meridian. This is PERFECTION!!! Another great plus is whoever is training the people has done an amazing job. Everyone walks around with a smile on their face, is super friendly, & happy to help you in anyway, And they are very patient. I am so happy to write this review as this assisted living facility has consistently exceeded my expectations & blown me away with how efficient and warm they are. To give you an example, when I arrived with my stepdad, they actually rolled out a red carpet, and all the staff came to greet him and welcome him to the Meridian. They are definitely an A+ institution and I am glad I made this choice

My Mom had a stroke 13 years ago, thankfully no major side effects from it, but we had to get her 24/7 home care to help with personal stuff. I thought things were going great until I found out 1 Aid was very ,moody which made my Mom quiet and reserved. I finally made the move and found the Meridian at Waterways. I spoke with Kirk and knew in my heart I had found Mom her new home. We moved her in to a fan fair welcome with red carpets music and lots of workers singing and clapping as we strolled Mom in. It's been almost 2 months and I am NOT kidding every person that works there is super nice, caring, patient and KIND! The food is amazing the PT, Front Desk, Admin, Beauty shop, and all the rest of the staff THANK YOU!

Finding a place that I felt comfortable with to move my mom into was not easy. But once we found Meridian she just knew right away that she loved the place. Josh was the first individual there we worked with. And he put her at ease right away and made the move so easy and simple. Then I met almost everybody there on staff and the residents , and I cant say enough about them all. Everyone has been wonderful, welcoming, and most important, caring. I highly recommend this place if you or someone you love is looking for a place to live.

My husband was a resident at Meridian in assisted living a few year back, this was pre Covid. If your loved one is independent or in assisted living they should be fine . The meals where much better pre Covid and more activities. A lot has changed as far as the quality of care and quality of food. If you have a loved one who needs to be in memory care I would not recommend this facility. I moved my husband to a new facility just before Covid. I moved him back to the Meridian when he needed to be in memory care. the care that he received in my opinion was way below standard for the money I paid. When I brought my concerns about issues I had concerning the care my husband was receiving, they said they would correct the situation but but never fallowed through. I was called in by the administrators office and was told that I had 45 days to find a new place for my husband Bob because of the permanent catheter he no had to have and that they weren’t licensed for that level of care even though he had hospice care and a part time caregiver. They wanted me to hire full time private aids around the clock to take care of him . How many people can afford that? I am sorry that I brought him back there. He is now in a much smaller facility with excellent care and a compassionate staff .

All the staff were efficient and calm in planning for a possible evacuation. (I wish I could name them all!) Fortunately, all the residents were able to stay in place and maintain their standard of living. Your leadership was terrific! Thanks for the humor and smiles in a stressful situation. PS. With two residents at the Symphony I want to compliment everyone involved - YOU make it home for them!

The other Google reviews appear to be from marketing or other employees, as from our discussions with other residents and their families our sentiments are the norm. I have learned for Senior Living Facilities, substance is much more important that glitz and a facade. If you are able to visit and care for your loved ones on a daily basis, the Symphony at the Waterways can be an okay place. It is a very nice building and view with good activities (including beautiful movie theater) but it is quite expensive. Selling points that were included at move in are continually cut back while prices continue to rise. There has been constant, excessive staff turnover at all levels, including strong employees and leadership. Some current staff is very loving and caring. Healthcare has been inconsistent, lots of mistakes, medicines administered at the wrong times and lack of following doctors orders/instructions. Response time is very slow, you often wait over 30 minutes when paging staff for issues requiring physical assistance. Quality of food has been poor, and dining room has often run out of basics like butter, sugar, rolls or ice cream for many days. Leadership constantly talks about fixing things but does not follow through. There is a sense that increasing profits are the highest priority. Many of the reviews on other sites are brief or just one liners and seem to be from company employees to elevate ratings rather than residents or their families. My understanding is posting reviews on their Facebook page is no longer permitted (again the existing reviews on Facebook appear to be from company employees). It speaks volumes that responses to negative reviews on other sites are from a corporate marketing group to spin the review and appear that they are being responsive -- as if repeated attempts to resolve issues were not already tried with the many different executive directors over time or other staff leadership. For the cost of the facility, the food and services should be far superior.

  • Schedule a tour and visit the physical location to make sure community description is accurate.
  • Confirm with community manager that living and services required for you or your loved one's unique needs and budget are met.
  • Check with state government websites for additional provider licensing and information.

If there is any information that is inaccurate or needs to be updated, please contact Assisted Living Center.

Assisted Living Center uses the term "assisted living" or "personal care" to inform users that a community provides assistance with some Activities of Daily Living (ADL's). It may not meet your state's legal definition required for that level of care.
