The Preserve at Meridian in Meridian, MS, offers three levels of residential care—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and a dedicated Memory Care program. Residents who are largely self-sufficient can opt for Independent Living and add supportive services only if their needs change. Assisted Living provides scheduled and unscheduled help with activities of daily living, medication reminders, and routine wellness checks coordinated by licensed nurses. The secured Memory Care neighborhood is designed for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias and delivers 24-hour supervision, specialized engagement programming, and behavior-management protocols overseen by staff trained in dementia care.
Additional health-related services are available to residents across all care levels. On-site nursing coverage is maintained around the clock, and physicians, therapists, and other clinicians make regular visits for primary care, rehabilitation, and podiatry. The community arranges pharmacy coordination, lab draws, and diagnostic testing, while also handling transportation to outside medical appointments when needed. An electronic health records system tracks each resident’s care plan to help staff respond quickly to changes in condition and to keep families informed.
Accommodations range from studio apartments to larger one- and two-bedroom layouts. Most units offer private bathrooms, basic kitchenettes, individual climate control, and emergency response systems, though not all accommodations have all the features. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are included, and residents are free to furnish their spaces with personal items. Common areas such as lounges, activity rooms, and secured outdoor courtyards give residents additional places to spend time.
Meals are served three times a day in the main dining room, with a rotating menu that emphasizes familiarity and nutritional balance. A registered dietitian approves all menus, and therapeutic diets such as low-sodium or diabetic options are available on request. Residents may choose from several entrées at each meal, and snacks and beverages are accessible throughout the day. Table service is standard, but room service can be arranged for those who are ill or who prefer to dine privately.
