PositiveReview for Merrill Gardens at Brentwood
It was close by, very nice. I would recommend to others.
★★★★★
Positivehas room for improvement.
The things i like best are all the amenities that they have. So much to do if you want to do it. They can improve a 100% on food. It is approximately 95% bad. For the amount of rent that we pay, the food does not even compare or come close to what we should be getting. If we talk to the chef during meetings, nothing ever gets changed. Never an improvement.
★★★★★
PositiveAmazing front desk concierge
[name removed] greets and helps everyone professionally at the front desk. Can handle many at once when it would probably not be possible for others to do so well along with handling the phone calls coming in.
★★★★★
PositiveVery good. Feels like a home. Staff and all workers are wonderful and make each person there as family.
From the first day just going through the place, everyone was very kind and made me feel as if i belonged there. We are all at the same step in our lives so we all treat each ither with the sane resorct and welcome. Having to come to a point in our lives that we have to move from our homes to a facility is very difficult for a person who just cannot continue to be in their homes any longer, Merrill Gardens makes us feel so at home.

PositiveMerrill Gardens at Brentwood review
Merrill Gardens best of Brentwood is well deserved. Their emergency responses are text book. I like the high degree of social interaction between residents and between residents and staff/management
★★★★★
PositiveWe took a tour of Merrill Gardens at Brentwood during our search for an Assisted Living facility for our loved one. This facility was beautiful! It is an Assisted Living facility, but they were not equipped to handle someone like my loved one who would need full-on care.
