AI summary

Meridian Manor has accumulated 14 Type A findings (the most severe class, tied to resident safety or care) and 12 Type B findings (administrative, paperwork-related) across 27 years of operation, but none of its three inspections in the past three years turned up a single Type A or Type B citation.

Read Full Summary
  • Track record — Over more than 27 years of licensure, this small 6-bed home has drawn a substantial lifetime tally of 14 Type A and 12 Type B findings, which is a notable count to be aware of even though it spans a long operating period.
  • Recent 3 years — The three most recent inspections (2024, 2025, and 2026) produced zero Type A and zero Type B citations, indicating a meaningfully cleaner run than the lifetime figures alone would suggest.
  • Complaints — There have been no complaint investigations on record, so all findings stem from routine inspections rather than reported concerns from residents or families.
  • Operating tenure — A licensure history back to 1999 gives this record real weight — the recent clean stretch is backed by multiple inspection cycles rather than a single lucky visit.
Ask the community
  1. 1.Can staff walk through what the Type A findings from earlier inspections involved and what changes were made afterward?
  2. 2.What specific practices or staffing changes account for the clean inspections in 2024, 2025, and 2026?
  3. 3.Is there a written corrective action or quality improvement plan on file from the years with citations, and can it be reviewed?

AI review summary

Meridian Manor shows positive sentiment on staff and cleanliness in aggregated data, but the lack of direct family reviews means key details need to be verified on a tour.

Read Full Summary
What reviewers praise
  • Staff & care — Aggregated sentiment data indicates staff and care services are generally viewed positively by those who rated the community.
  • Cleanliness & maintenance — Cleanliness and facilities upkeep are among the most positively rated aspects in available sentiment data.
  • Value & pricing — Estimated starting costs are below the South Pasadena area average, suggesting a relatively affordable option for the level of care offered.
  • Activities — The community offers a broad range of scheduled activities, faith-based programming, and amenities like music, art classes, and outdoor spaces.
Worth asking about
  • Communication — There are no detailed firsthand family accounts available, so it's worth asking current families directly about responsiveness and updates from staff.
  • Dining — Sentiment data on dining services is limited, so families should sample a meal and ask about menu variety and accommodation of dietary restrictions during a tour.
  • Financial transparency — Since pricing shown is an estimate rather than confirmed rates, confirm actual costs, add-on fees, and how pricing changes as care needs increase.
  • Staffing levels — Ask about staff-to-resident ratios and overnight or weekend coverage, as this small board and care setting's day-to-day staffing details aren't detailed in available data.
