The Meridian at Lake San Marcos Senior Living has exceeded our expectations in every way, and I highly recommend it to anyone searching for a caring, welcoming senior living community. My family and I have had a wonderful experience here from the very first visit. We were greeted with warmth, kindness, and professionalism, and it quickly became clear that the staff genuinely care about the residents. They consistently go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels comfortable, respected, and engaged. The community itself is beautiful, well maintained, and thoughtfully designed. There are plenty of activities that help residents stay active, social, and connected. The dining experience is excellent, and the team works hard to accommodate individual preferences and needs. What stands out most is the compassionate care and personal attention provided by the staff. They take the time to build meaningful relationships with residents and families, creating a true sense of community and belonging. It is incredibly reassuring to know our loved one is safe, happy, and receiving such exceptional care. If you are looking for a senior living community that offers outstanding care, a friendly atmosphere, and a dedicated team, The Meridian at Lake San Marcos is an excellent choice.

My mother moved into Meridian Memory Care about 6 months ago. I could not ask for a better care team. The Memory Care Coordinator, Med Techs, Care Staff, Housekeeping, Sales, and Front Desk, are all very professional and have gone above and beyond to make sure that my mom is very well taken care of in this difficult stage of life. They are kind, empathetic, knowledgeable, and have the special patience it requires to provide a comfortable memory care experience for my mom and our family.
March 2026
February 2026
The staff in memory care have always been so kind and patient with my mom. They take very good care of her. The director, the activities director and all the caregivers are friendly and compassionate. They even sing to her:-). It’s not an easy job and they do it lovingly.
January 2026
Before choosing this assisted living facility for my parents, my wife and I researched dozens of assisted San Diego facilities that offer memory care and personally toured the top seven in the area. The Meridian at Lake San Marcos stood out far above the rest in terms of professionalism, overall upkeep, and competitive affordability. Our experience throughout the search process made it clear that this community excels in every important aspect. My parents have been residents for two and a half years and we couldn't be happier with the care they have received at Meridian’s memory care facility. The staff is incredibly compassionate, attentive, and knowledgeable, always going above and beyond to ensure our loved ones feel comfortable and safe. The environment is warm and inviting, with engaging activities and well-maintained grounds that provide peace of mind for our family. We are truly grateful for the support and dedication shown by everyone here”especially Melissa Sigala, the Memory Care Director, whose leadership and genuine kindness make all the difference. Melissa’s commitment and personal attention to each resident have brought comfort and confidence to our entire family. We would highly recommend this facility to anyone seeking exceptional memory care for their loved ones.
December 2025
One of the best senior living places I have visited. Beautiful, large apartments, well kept up grounds, genial staff and residents. Hope to move there.
December 2025
Adriana gave me and my mom a very nice tour of the facilities, which are top notch. The food at lunch was great. We really enjoyed the visit. My mom is considering moving from Arizona and I think The Meridian would be very nice for her to live at.

November 2025
5 stars is simply not enough for this amazing retirement community and it's exemplary Staff. I recently had the pleasure of revisiting the Meridian to offer my services as a Concierge Moving Specialist for Seniors. My mother was a resident at the meridian for almost eight years. As a loving daughter , I could not have asked for a better experience for my Beloved Mother. She passed several years ago but my son and I feel blessed that she was so well cared for.The Sales Director Letty Martinez and Executive Director Shaun McGuirk exemplify professionalism and compassion.
November 2025
The Meridian Lake San Marcos is such a beautiful community. They have an amazing new ED that is going to take the living experience for residents to the next level. It really should be on your list of communities to visit if you think you might be interested in moving.

As a Senior Move Management company, Silver Linings Transitions, we assist seniors and their families when they are moving into senior communities.

Meridian at Lake San Marcos is a wonderful facility. I took a tour with Cari and she was stupendous! The heated pool really got my mom’s attention as well as all of the activities they have.

All in all the facility is beautiful and the staff is very friendly and there is plenty of things to do!

The Meridian at Lake San Marcos is a beautiful community with excellent, supportive staff. The residents are also very enjoyable to talk to and are so friendly, even when I am passing through. They clearly love their home and are happy to show it off!
July 2024
Loved everything about the Meridian. The people were so nice it made it feel like a warm home, tied into community.
July 2024
This is not a luxury facility in my humble opinion. The spaces left me claustrophobic. You have to walk from your residential location to the clubhouse for any activities. That’s a negative for me. Unfortunately I am not interested in this location. That said our tour guide was lovely, personable and informative.
July 2024
LIZZY SHOWED US A GOOD TIME AND ANSWERED ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS. THE MERIDIAN IS LOVELY, CLEAN AND LOOKE LIKE A PLACE WE WOULD ENJOY BEING ONE OF ITS RESIDENTS.
July 2024
Great room with plenty of light coming in. The gym was well equipped and the pool are very nice.
June 2024
We really enjoyed our tour of the Meridian at Lake San Marcos. It met all of our needs. We especially like the size of the units. We decided to add our names to the list of interested tenants. When we were called that a unit was available, we jumped at the chance to take it. We look forward to this new stage of our lives. Maurice and Emily Weinger
June 2024
I highly recommend you take a tour of the Meridian with Leticia Martinez. She is very knowledgeable about the community inside and out. Any questions you may have regarding the property she will answer them concise and professional. Meridian is lucky to have her on board.
May 2024
My goodness! This is the place to be! Just tour & find out why. If I could give 10 stars I would.
April 2024
Meridian Assisted Senior Living is beautifully designed to accommodate most phases of aging. I’m excited to place this front and center for my dad’s senior living needs
March 2024
It's a nice and clean place kinda peaceful.
March 2024
Wish we'd have done this sooner! Got my Mom (with Alzheimers) set up here a week ago and the change in her has been amazing! It's like she's 20 years younger. The other residents and staff have been wonderful and supportive and I see mom thriving and happy again
February 2024
My grandma has lived here for over 5 years, she loves it she said it just keeps getting better and better! I couldn’t ask for a better place for grandma. The staff is full of love and care.

November 2023
Things look good on the surface, but on closer inspection the property is shabby and the staff is barely knowledgeable. The food is mediocre and the dining area overlooking the pool is dark and cold. No warm lighting, no soft music coming from the speakers. It’s all very institutional..
September 2023
Dina has been a rock through all the changes that have taken place since she started here. I have been here over six years and since the day she started she has never missed a day except when she had her surgery and was married. She gave advance notice at that time. I am so thankful for her
June 2023
Great Location...love the layout and the Decor they have on property
April 2022
So glad I had my grandparents move into the meridian. Special thanks to Theresa and her team for the great care and Dina and her team for encouraging them into activities.
July 2021
This place is ok overall, but not 5 stars. They take advantage of old people by promising them 5 star gourmet food and ultimately serve up slop. I have a family member living here and in the past 3 years or so they haven’t ever served bacon. Chef Mark is no longer around but his food was simply gross. In no way is the food gourmet as it states in the sales contract. It’s a scam to call it gourmet. Merriam dictionary states gourmet as Definition of gourmet (Entry 2 of 2) : of, relating to, or being high quality, expensive, or specialty food typically requiring elaborate and expert preparation a gourmet meal gourmet cooking a gourmet chef/restaurant On top of this the outdoor furniture is old and cracked and needs replaced. Treat people kindly and with good karma. Quit being cheap about things and bring in a true chef to replace Brad. Also, the exorbitant rental rate increases were 6% the last time. That’s crazy. The other 5 star reviews on here are by people who put in for a raffle. You only win the raffle if you put up a 5 star review. I don’t want to win a raffle, I want the owners and management to take care of the people who are taking care of them.
February 2021
My mother was a resident of the Meridian at Lake San Marcos for 3.5 years and she absolutely LOVED it!!! The staff were always professional and truly caring! The amenities and activities are too numerous to detail and incredibly PHENOMENAL! I highly recommend and consider the Meridian the BEST in Southern California as I have had the opportunity to experience several! Director Austin I. and his entire Staff are INCREDIBLE!!!
June 2020
We have taken our kids to The Meridian at Lake San Marcos a few times to participate in fun events their Activities Department planned for their residents. Thank you, Dina Scalia , Activity Director for planning these events such as Easter Egg Hunting & Halloween Trick or Treating and inviting the community as well. It is obvious how you go above and beyond to bring joy and happiness to the residents. Our kids look forward to the next fun event they get to partake in.... and they love The Meridian cookies!
June 2020
Austin Irwin is a Super Hero ! My sister moved to Meridian a few weeks ago and thanks to all of Austin's help has settled in quite nicely. This was not a move that was taken lightly. She had downsized from a large and lovely home in Encinitas, to a smaller rental house, until she had a chance to decide which retirement community would best suit her needs. We visited NUMEROUS places in the San Diego area ~ and I think she came to see Meridian 3 times..just to be sure that this would be a good fit. Personally I can't tell you how many times I called Austin and how many questions I asked, not only for myself, but for Sandy. Once her decision was made ~ he made sure everything fell right into place. She has a 'room mate' ~ her beloved dog Zip who never missed a beat, was welcome, and has also become quite comfortable in her new surroundings. Understandably, these are not the ideal times in which to make a move like this - but Austin and Meridian have made a challenging situation 'doable' with their understanding, support and professionalism. Forever grateful ~ My sisters happiness and comfort mean the world to me. A million thanks.

In searching for an appropriate place to retire and cut my expenses as well as my responsibilities, I inquired at Meridian and several other similar places. After touring several places, I was confident that Meridian was the best choice. Fine appointments, friendly staff, very nice amenities, good food and a reasonable location. I was introduced to Austin Irwin and Shawn McGuirk, who were responsive to phone calls and very friendly and knowledgeable. I decided that I would like to move in, but there was no space available. A year later, Austin called me with the message that there was a suitable space, and I took it. Austin has been invaluable in assisting me in moving in, and getting settled (no easy task!) He is a tireless worker, and clearly likes his job, his residents, and takes pride in his job! The Meridian is dog friendly, and I moved in with my Welsh Corgi, and she is settling in nicely, also. I can recommend the Meridian and its helpful staff. If you or your loved one are seeking a nice place to retire, I urge you check out the Meridian at Lake San Marcos!
May 2020
Extra special thanks to Chef Mark Cronkhite for going above and beyond to help me out. My parents live in the lovely Meridian at Lake San Marcos. My Mom turned 85 years old and I emailed The Meridian and asked if I could order a special small cake for my Mom so that she and my Dad could share it during this quarantine time. Chef Mark was very responsive and took very good care of my request and personally delivered the cake to my Mom. My parents both always enjoy when they can see and talk to Mark so this meant even more. Thank you Mark for making this happen since we live 2 1/2 hrs away and are restricted from visiting during this time. I also want to thank Launa Cornell and the rest of her wonderful team. The staff is all providing so many extra special personal touches for the residents and it doesn’t go unnoticed. My parents appreciate the daily puzzle being delivered, the themed trays/drinks on the cart that are delivered, special activities and just being there when something is needed. The residents don’t feel lonely because of all of the extras The Meridian provides to them. These are very tough times during quarantine but the staff remains helpful and provide such quality service and with a smile. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate you all more than you could ever know. Keep up the great work. You are all essential!

I have performed piano for the residents of the Meridian at Lake San Marcos for almost the past year, and I can say with conviction that this is one of the most pleasant senior apartments in San Diego. They treat their residents with care and respect, and I can tell after meeting and speaking with several of their residents that they have loads activities. In particular, their assisted living director Dina Scalia has taken a keen interest in providing a variety of enjoyable options for them. She even graciously hired me to give "virtual" concerts for their residents during this difficult and sensitive time of health conciousness. Additionally, it's a beautiful community”first rate all around.
May 2020
I am very familiar with the Meridian at Lake San Marcos and have friends there and I'm familiar with the entertainment that they provide there as well. Dina Scalia the activity director does an excellent job of keeping the folks happy and entertained. It is a pleasure to be a part of experiencing this during my visits there. Keep up the good work and the excellent entertainment.
May 2020
It is my distinct pleasure to recognize the tremendous professionalism, diligence and dedication of Dina Scalia, Activity Director at the Meridian Lake San Marcos. I speak as someone who not only observes Dina’s contributions first hand but also as one who interacts on a regular basis with The Meridian residents. In addition to conducting weekly chapel services there I’m also a professional entertainer interacting with residents in a casual setting. The satisfaction is evident. A recent example of Dina’s above and beyond concern for the welfare of her residents will illustrate: The lockdown implemented due to Covid-19 concerns stopped all personal interactions from outside of the community. Ever seeking to serve, Dina immediately approached me with the (brilliant) idea to virtual broadcasts of both the chapel service and sing-along piano entertainment. They are able to transmit these broadcasts to 100% of the residents. I’m happy to report this has been a great success in allowing her residents to stay connected during a very difficult and challenging time. Of the 20+ communities I routinely perform for, Dina’s residents are the amongst the happiest and most contented “ and I am convinced it is owing directly to her comprehensive approach to the well-being and happiness of these dear souls. The Meridian at Lake San Marcos is most fortunate to have her!
May 2020
The meridian community is one of the best communities in all of San Diego!Staff is phenomenal and they are very kind , and also the programs they have for the seniors are amazing , which are run by activity director Dina Scalia who is awesome.
May 2020
I have been a resident at the Meridian for about 4 to 5 years , and would like to share the things that I enjoy about living here. I work closely with the Activity Director Dina Scalia and her team as a liaison for the Activity Department. I have always kept busy with helping to set up for programs prior to the Covid -19, as well as participating in the many group programs offered. Currently the Activity Department is keeping us safe and busy with great things offered such as, Activity room service slips, where we are able to request in room options such as a book, a puzzle, or a visit with a team member. There is also an in house channel, where residents are able to still enjoy the music of Meridian entertainers right in our apartments on our TV. Also broadcasted in our apartments in daily exercise videos done by the Activity Team, concerts and movies. The calendar reflects when to tune in to the in house channel to enjoy these programs. I really look forward to Fridays, it is called Fun Cart Friday where the Activity Team comes around to each and every apartment with fun themed items and music. On occasion, during the month, I enjoy the ice cream and the cheese and cracker & wine. Wii Bowling is my favorite activity, currently we are unable to come to the Clubhouse to enjoy this game with other residents, so the Activity Team came to my apartment, set up the Wii Bowling in my home and now I stay busy playing it daily, even with visits from activities to play a game with me. I have to say that Dina Scalia is a terrific Activity Director. Launa is a great Executive Director and works hard for the residents that reside here as well as her staff. I am just so happy to live here.

The way they care for my mom Nicky Mc is as sweet, attentive and loving as my family and probably much more patient than I ever am. T you let me focus on being a daughter, you let me sleep at night and I think you are an angel! thank you, Love Tracy Mc

I have visited the Meridian several times for business purposes. The leadership team at this facility are all tremendous assets to their business and the community. The food is outstanding, the facilities are excellent and the staff is friendly.

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.
