The Meridian at the Waterways in Fort Lauderdale offers spectacular and relaxing views of boats and yachts along the waterway, creating a peaceful and emotionally calming setting. The community offers wonderful amenities, including a wellness center and engaging activities for residents.

If you are looking for the heart of The Meridian, look no further than Brian, the Director of Activity. He is a whirlwind of positive energy—lively, kind, and truly full of spark. What makes Brian so special is his unique ability to connect with every resident, regardless of their needs. He has a gift for encouraging participation in activities that keep everyone engaged and smiling. Most impressively, even the Memory Care residents know him by name and frequently express their appreciation for him. It is a huge peace of mind for families to know their loved ones are in the hands of someone so compassionate and dedicated. We love and appreciate everything he does!

My mother lived at Meridian at Waterways in Fort Lauderdale for 2 years. The staff were very friendly and always willing to help. The building is kept clean, the dining room is beautiful. There is a beauty salon on the premises. The terrace overlooking the waterway is comfortable and relaxing. I highly recommend this place.
Brian is the best he is very helpful with Chuck and always goes out of his way to do the most kindest things for Chuck and myself.He is the bomb!!!
Brian is beyond helpful to everyone especially the residents and they love him so much for everything he does! When he's not here its not the same. Very hard worker!
The staff at The Meridian have been absolutely incredible. Initially, we weren't sure if The Meridian was an option for us, but Tina was wonderfully kind and found a way to make it work. We were in a challenging situation, needing to move my aunt directly from the hospital into assisted living, which required us to move fast. Tina was exceptionally gracious, even letting us use an apartment for a few days until we could get her furniture into her own space. The building itself is beautiful, feeling more like a boutique hotel with truly amazing views. We are so happy because she is so happy! Brian, who manages the activities, is wonderful, he watches out for her and has her help him, which gives her a renewed sense of purpose. I couldn't say enough positive things about The Meridian. For a very independent lady who lived alone for the second half of her life, the fact that she truly feels at home here speaks volumes.
