The Meridian at Anaheim Hills offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to step into the level of support that fits their health profile while remaining in one community. The care team is equipped to manage a wide spectrum of medical needs, including residents who wander day or night, display combative or other behavioral challenges, require wound care, use oxygen, need special diets, or are living with diabetes—whether controlled by oral medication or insulin injections. Younger adults under 60 and individuals with advanced dementia can also be accommodated, ensuring continuity of care as conditions evolve.
Around-the-clock safety measures back up this clinical scope. A nurse is on call 24 hours a day, supported by an awake night shift and an activity director who oversees daily engagement. Security measures include door alarms, fenced perimeters front and rear, pull-cord and PERS alert systems, and staff trained through background checks. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the team can manage transfers ranging from standby support with a walker to two-person or bed-bound moves. A visiting podiatrist provides on-site foot care, reducing the need for off-campus appointments.
Apartments vary, but many include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, basic furnishings, individual climate controls, and cable service; residents may paint or decorate subject to community guidelines. Because not every unit contains every feature, prospective residents should confirm specific availability during their tour. Common areas are wheelchair accessible, and floor plans are designed to support the transfer services mentioned above.
Dining is prepared to order, with snacks available throughout the day and menus that can be adjusted for diabetic, low-sodium, or other prescribed diets. Independent Living residents can opt into a monthly meal plan, while Assisted Living residents typically receive three meals daily as part of their package. Medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and laundry services are also available to those in Independent Living, providing a safety net without giving up autonomy.
Residents find additional convenience in on-site amenities such as resident parking, an exercise room, a movie room, a wellness center, a barber and beauty salon, communal gardens, and regularly scheduled religious services. Internet access helps residents stay connected, transportation is provided for medical appointments and errands, and public transit stops are close by. Smoking is allowed in designated outdoor areas, and pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
