PositiveAbsolutely great
My experience has been fantastic. I have been here 14 months and everything is better than I expected. The staff has gone over and above to make sure I and my wife, who is in there memory care unit, can be together as much as possible. They have made both of our quality of life better than it was before we came here.

PositiveWe love Merrill Gardens!
Such kind, thoughtful and nurturing care for both residents and their families. We were made to feel welcome and at home the minute we walked in the door. Every member of the staff was extremely flexible, accommodating and communicative from the application process to move-in and beyond. My MIL loves it there. We’ve had meals several times in the restaurant, and the food really is restaurant quality. Her one bedroom apartment is well-appointed, clean, cozy, has ample storage & closet space, and even has its own wa…

PositiveGreat Care
My dad moved into Merrill Gardens after being hospitalized and we realized it was not safe for him to live by himself anymore. It was a huge change for everyone in our family, and a super stressful time, but the staff here were very helpful during the process. He has now been at Merrill Gardens for 6 months and we could not be happier. At first, Dad was still recovering and needed a lot of extra care. Now, he has really settled in and is gradually needing a little less. He will probably always need some extra care…
Response from the communityHi Carol, as a former nurse your endorsement of our care for your dad means the world. We are very happy that we could be helpful during a stressful time for you and your family. Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review.
