Overview of Spring Gardens Meridian

Spring Gardens Meridian offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Meridian, ID. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident maintains a private living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, while respite care provides a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Having these three care types in one community may suit a resident whose needs change over time, since care can potentially continue without starting over at a new community. The home has 90 beds, with studio and one-bedroom housing options; a studio provides a single private space, while a one-bedroom layout includes a separate bedroom. Pets are allowed, so a resident may be able to keep a pet while living there.

A Walk Score of 43 places the area in a car-dependent setting, meaning most errands require a car or a ride and a resident who no longer drives would need transportation for routine trips. Medicaid is accepted as a payment option for eligible residents. Wells Kerri serves as administrator, and Avista Senior Living Management Meridian operates Spring Gardens Meridian.
