Meridian Hills Assisted Living

To Bowl of Cherries. Knowing the staffing patterns at the date of your post you FAILED to mention a few key things. 1 The position you held was responsible for the showers. IF people were not getting their showers then you are to blame.

2 You worked there for 2 years and claim to have witnessed resident abuse but FAILED to do your duty and report it. You are mandated by law to do so.

And 3..... anyone can spot a disgruntled employee. Maybe you dont work there BECAUSE YOU WERE THE PROBLEM!!!!

Former employee/dining and kitchen. I worked at Meridan Hills for a number of years. Not once did I view any neglect. My own mother was a resident during this time and she was very happy. As far as the dining room/kitchen ....we never had a negitive opinion.

Go to any assisted living facility and you will see a shortage of staff.

Cleaning the kitchen and dining room are a top priorty at the end of every day. We took pride in our work and the result showed.

Sorry your experience was not to your liking. But many residents have been there for many years and they seem to be ok.

HORRIBLE RESIDENT CARE! STAY AWAY!. I am telling you this now, absolutely do not even consider placing yourself or a family member here! I was employed by them for almost two years and left because of their sub-standard care! It is the number one worst place in Puyallup if not the state! Lets start with the care....If your lucky you will get the terrible care they provide, thats if your lucky otherwise you will just be neglected and left to sit in your room all day going crazy. No one receives showers here and most people smell terribly. They are so severely understaffed they have NO time for you...Picture your family member as a cow being herded around day and night...waiting in long lines for medication passed by under trained fools. Then once you get your 10 seconds to get your pills they send you off to the dirty smelly dining room where they will serve you some nasty slop and mystery meat. The dining room smells of feces and urine and there are flies all over the place. I once even witnessed pork chops floating in the dishwashing sink in warm bloody water for about 15 hours thawing. NASTY! There is a major theft issue going on and no one can seem to solve it! The state is in almost weekly investigating complaints of poor care, theft, and many other violations of WAC codes. I feel so terribly for the poor people who live here, don't let yourself fall into their trap. The people in charge could care less about the residents all they want is money money money...if someone dies Oh well get someone else in because we need MONEY! The way meridian hills is run is unbelievable, I don't even know how they have not been shut down...which will probably only be a matter of time...and don't fall for the owners review that tells make believe stories of wonderful resident care and quality meals because its a bunch of bologna! I swear try a meal for yourself if you can stomach it! first you have to fight your way through the flies and smell of urine to eat some nasty meal slathered in nasty gravy! eveything comes from a can and is processed garbage! So take my word for it! You don't even want to try it. But if you don't believe me head on in for a tour. you will be greeted by the pungeant smell of urine and a bunch of phony people with a fake smiles on their faces, trying to con you into believing their lies so they can rake in your family memebers money leaving them with a measly 60 bucks a month. And not to mention the RAT problem. Dead rats in the ceiling, rat feces in the ceiling, there were maggots eating a dead rat one time and all the maggots were falling out of light fixtures. I could go on for a long time but hopefully you get the point, which is wouldn't trust them to care for a pet rock! because they would surely screw something up! I hope this review helps you and protects as many people as possible...and please don't take the bait that I am a "disgruntled previous employee" because I am not! I truly care for the people who are currently living here and have found a new wonderful place of employment, where people are taken care of! Now please consider yourself warned!!!!!!!!!!!!!…

KITCHEN IS VERY DIRTY. I have to agree with yucky kitchen. I have worked at this place within this year. They do treat their elderly okay. But I do have to say that it was very unsanitary. Kitchen drawers, shelfs had grease and gross stuff on it. I do know that they have to let anyone see thier inspection reports. I suggest anyone who may want to put family thier, they should really investigate the DSHS reports and ask to go into the kitchen and look around. I do want to stick up for that former employee. The people who are in charge here don't treat thier employees very well. If you decied to work there, call Labor and Industries to see what the track recorded is. I can be their has been alot of complaints about how employees are treated by managment. I just hope with these reviews, that managment has taken care of how dirty the kitchen is or was. Hopefully that will change. To bad that managment wouldn't change. Guess you can't change people.…
