Fantastic!

I moved in about 6 weeks ago. My experience from researching options to move in was great here! Now that I am here, I am totally satisfied with my new home! Everyone is super-very caring and helpful. It is a very welcoming community. The apartment maintenance and needed safety features are taken care of immediately. I highly recommend this facility and couldn’t be happier! I love it here!

Great staff, amenities are good, lots of variety of activities

Purchased by Ciel Senior living a few months ago. Food appears better but housekeeping and restaurant staff appear to be short of the required number to be in line with all the needs. Sales staff are great and front desk staff ([name removed]) is awesome. Staffing in general gets better than worse so hopefully they can increase that.

Would recommend

A few comments about Ciel of Applewood - The senior staff is outstanding and with long tenures. The housekeeping and kitchen staff are more fluid as is typical in such communities Can not speak of care personally but what I have observed is caring and concern on part of staff There are many and varied activities which are well attended by residents Food is plentiful and of medium quality . I would say better than most communities The dining hours are flexible and to go is [Name Removed]. Transportation is an issue of venue days times and flexibility Maintenance and cleanliness are excellent with 3 full time handy men There are 3 elevators!! The residents are warm friendly and with few exceptions seem happy and long term Rooms are comfortable size with lots of storage and full kitchen

I would say. Ownership just changed so we will see. Food could use improvement. Larger bust for transportation should be increased. I would recommend to others

A welcoming place for mom

A 5 for all of them so far. My mom has only been there for 2.5 weeks but it's been a great experience so far. The staff is very welcoming and the residents are also. The activities coordinator is excellent and makes sure there is something for everyone. The desk staff is kind and helpful. It really feels like one big family. The maintenance staff is exceptional and patient.

The Brookdale Meridian Westland is special to live!

I moved to the Brookdale Meridian Westland in May of 2023. From the moment I entered the lobby I felt embraced by the staff and the residents. Everyone was so welcoming--there was a sense of community. I got involved in the numerous activities offered and made some wonderful new friends. We have three delicious meals a day and every week we get a schedule of the upcoming activities and meals. I recommend the Brookdale Meridian Westland most highly.

[name removed] with Sales was so amazing! Gave a great tour, answered all of our questions and was even able to provide information for financial resources that made sign up and move in breeze. [name removed] w/ activities is awesome, always has a calendar full of fun stuff planned and throws a great happy hour. The kithchen and dining staff are so friendly, patient and always cooking up a variety of healthly and yummy dishes. Granny and I are so happy she is in a safe and wonderful place.

Great job Westland!

We have recently moved our father to Brookdale Meridian Westland and have nothing but positive things to say. We met [name removed]on our first visit and she has been fantastic and always available for questions. She has gone above and beyond to ensure our Dad has the support he needs to acclimate to his new apartment.

An amazing place for your loved one to flourish!

An amazing place for your loved one to flourish! We met [name removed], who set the stage for enthusiasm, warmth and belonging. The entire staff is wonderful - helpful, kind and engaging. The atmosphere and the residents were immediately accepting and actually excited to have my mom join the group. We were there for our initial visit having lunch and five different people came up to introduce themselves. They have so many activities, classes and events. My mom's having a blast. Can't recommend this community enough. p.s. - the food and facilities are great too!

Brookdale Meridian Westland is a fun, caring and vibrant community!

Dad had been living with us and it was challenging for all. We started researching senior living communities and Brookdale Meridian Westland was our first tour. We fell in love and visited other communities in the Denver area but none compared. Our dad is so happy, well-fed, entertained, and cared for and that is beneficial to everyone in the family. The staff is amazing and the activities are so fun. We make as many of the meals as we can because the food is outstanding! My dad never thought he needed or wanted friends and now he has whole community of them and it warms our heart to see our dad thriving.

I toured this community in [date removed] for consideration of a place my mother might be interested in. I was greeted immediately upon arrival and handed over to [name removed] who visited with me to learn about mom and her needs. We had wonderful conversation just about life in general. Then the tour. Along the way I met many residents who greeted me and just off the cuff told me how great the place was and how long they have been there. The apartments are very spacious, well appointed and well kept. Being a facilities manager, I have to look at electrical panels, HVAC, fire sprinklers, etc and this facility checks all the boxes for being well maintained over other places I have toured. The dining hall and food service was great even though I did not take the opportunity to enjoy a meal. I listened to a couple residents who told me how much they liked the meals served and the staff. That goes a long way for me as I understand what my mom wants and is used to.

New Home

My parents recently moved in and they are very happy. The facility is bright and clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. I didn't realize how worried I have been about them living in their home. I feel much more relaxed, knowing they are safe and comfortable in their new place. I always enjoy visiting!

I'm so glad I live here!

Everyone, residents and staff, are very happy here. The entire place is well maintained, clean, full of windows and light, and welcoming. Every apartment is a place of peace and has its own private balcony. Meanwhile there are activities of all kinds to suit your interests and create opportunities for as much or as little socialization as a person may want. Three meals a day are varied and delicious with choices at every one with restaurant-style dining. The acres it is located on are varied with lawns and flowers and woods and paved paths located in a residential area. I cannot tell you how happy I am to have chosen Brookdale Meridian Westland; it is like no other and I recommend it highly.
