I have been fortunate enough to experience the Meridian at Lake San Marcos first hand, and I can confidently say it is one of the best senior living communities in San Diego. From their beautiful facilities, amenities and activities, to the caring staff who are always available to help, I have no reservations in recommending this community to anyone looking for a home away from home. The independent living and memory care services they provide are some of the best around. Not to mention the full-time pastry chef providing fresh desserts throughout the week!
