Meridian at Anaheim Hills

Meridian at Anaheim Hills sits in a quiet neighborhood with a resort-style feel, managed by Pacifica Senior Living, and has a lot of things to offer older adults looking for support but also their own space, with services like Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Respite Care, and even skilled nursing right on one campus so folks don't have to move around as their needs change, and you'll find the apartments come in many shapes and sizes-studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and even semi-private or single-room units-with features like kitchenettes or full kitchens, private bathrooms, balconies or patios, and things like Wi-Fi, basic cable, and individually controlled thermostats so everybody can feel a little more at home. People can bring their small pets since the place is pet-friendly, and you've got conveniences like secure parking, weekly housekeeping and linen services, and room service for meals when you'd rather stay in, but there's also a big dining area where a chef prepares meals every day, and even an ice cream parlor and bistro for a treat or a bite with others, plus guests are welcome during mealtimes, which is nice for visiting family, and there's a coffee shop and a general store in case you need something quick. They've set things up for people to stay social and busy, with all sorts of activities from arts and crafts to bingo, billiards, game nights, story time, cooking club, exercise classes, and even Nintendo Wii bowling, and you get wellness programs and fitness classes in a modern gym, not to mention walking paths, gardens, a library with plenty of reading, a hair salon, a common room with a grand piano for music, a plaza lounge, patios, and a chapel on site for spiritual needs. If someone needs a little more help, staff will assist with medication, dressing, bathing, and daily tasks, and there's a Home Care agency on site every day and available at night for independent folks who might need extra care, plus there's memory care that's set up with trained staff to keep people with dementia or Alzheimer's safe and comfortable, as well as scheduled occupational, physical, and respiratory therapy visits, and residents can get VA Aid and Attendance pension benefits or help with VA benefits if they're eligible. The community offers transportation for appointments and outings, a 24-hour concierge for questions, and personalized support around the clock, so people can feel secure, and you'll find extra touches like weekly laundry, cleaning services, personal laundry, and on-site hairstyling or barber services to help take care of day-to-day life, while the place itself stays bright, open, and calming with common areas, gardens, courtyards, outdoor fountains, and cozy spots to sit and relax. The place runs on a month-to-month rental so there's some flexibility, guided by a California RCFE license #306005730, and all services are tailored to each person, including custom care plans, help from physical therapists, good food in a restaurant-style setting, and lots of regular activities to keep life interesting and connected.

Meridian at Anaheim Hills is managed by Pacifica Senior Living.

Pacifica Senior Living, a division of Pacifica Companies (family-owned since 1978), was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in San Diego, California. Operating over 90 communities across 13-14 states with concentrations in California, Florida, and Arizona, Pacifica has grown to become the 13th largest overall senior care provider in the United States. The company ranks as the 5th largest memory care provider, 10th largest assisted living provider, and 21st largest independent living provider nationally, serving thousands of residents from coast to coast through their comprehensive care offerings.

Pacifica's mission centers on creating a lifestyle of independence, security, and peace of mind for each individual and their family. The company provides personalized, compassionate care services through their signature Heartland™ Assisted Living and Legacies™ Memory Care programs, which focus on the individual while offering customized care plans that respect each resident's needs, preferences, and privacy. Their philosophy emphasizes striking a balance between assistance and independence, providing dignified and compassionate retirement experiences in environments that feel like home. Each community is managed individually, allowing for tailored support of unique resident profiles and communal character, with everything from scheduling to dining menus designed around residents' preferences.

The company's specialized memory care programs demonstrate their expertise in dementia care. Their Legacies™ Memory Care program helps patients with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of memory loss feel safe and secure while providing memory-boosting activities. The innovative Amara Memory Support program creates welcoming and empowering environments that celebrate the essence of people rather than focusing on their diagnosis. Programming encompasses nine Focus Elements of Life: Recreation, Service, Spirituality, Movement, Sensory, Household Connection, Community, Exploration, and Creative Arts, delivered through stimulating activities including gardening, culinary adventures, musical experiences, creative artistic outlets, and mindfulness practices.

Pacifica offers a comprehensive continuum of care including independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, skilled nursing, and adult day care services. All communities focus on promoting well-being by meeting care needs while facilitating social interactions, activities, and wellness programs. Despite recent financial challenges leading to the bankruptcy of one management entity affecting approximately 20 California facilities, the majority of Pacifica's nearly 100 communities continue operating, maintaining their commitment to advancing senior living and providing peace of mind to residents and families through warm, family-like communities where each resident receives individualized attention while maintaining dignity and independence.
