Merrill Gardens at Barkley Place

Overall would recommend

Overall 5 stars. The staff are attentive and respond quickly to requests. Food is good. The 2/2 apt is a good size for a couple. Plenty of activities and the overall cleanliness of the facility is very good. I think their pricing is very reasonable.

Review after 6 months

The eating area is nice, decent food. It's a mix an assisted and senior living people, more of an atmosphere of like a [name removed] than just a quiet depressing assisted living dining area. He also has an option to eat in a smaller food area close to his room if not wanting to go to tge main area. They've had construction going on in the past year putting new windows in and re-do of the hallways. It's getting there. The workers are all nice, good and nursing. They have pt/ot there and he's been doing that lately …

I thank God every day He found this place for us!!

For the past several months since my back has healed, I've been enjoying so many fun things regularly. Weekly I enjoy water aerobics, karaoke, Bible study, Sunday church service and watercolor workshop. Monthly I love the Ladies tea and …

Merrill Gardens at Barkley Place

[Name removed] spent four hours with us when we toured the property and took the time to introduce [name removed] to everyone we met. By the end of the visit, he felt completely comfortable and ready to move in. The maintenance staff is also excellent, and both the maintenance person and the tech specialist have been very helpful and responsive.

Carrying Staff

I wonder give them a 5 in all the categories. I'm very pleased that I selected Merrill Gardens. I like the staff, the food, and I've met some very nice residents. I'm also getting excellent rehab for my balance issue, which is very much appreciated. Also, the staff, who cleans my room, is very good. I would definitely recommend Merrill Gardens at Barkley Place as a place to live.

Review for Merrill Gardens at Barkley Place

Merrill Gardens at Barkley Place wasn't what we thought it would be. The apartments were dark and not very cheery. The restaurant served the same meals each week, many barely warm. Also, the cleaning crew was lacking.
