My 1st 11 days at Merrill Gardens

The thing I like the most at Merrill Gardens (besides not having to cook or clean) is the atmosphere..it felt good the day my daughter and I visited and it still feels the same now that I’m living here.. everyone has a smile and a hello and seem to be happy…I’ve felt welcomed by staff and residents alike..only 2 complaints… my TV hasn’t worked for over a week now and I miss it! Have turned in a work order at the front desk a couple times.. the other thing is no storage in the bathroom..I’m using a storage bin..I ha

Definitely recommend.

The staff are amazing. They have been extremely responsive to all of our needs and concerns. Every place could use a full time doctor and 3 nurses that are "hospice care" level humans.

The bottom line is my dad loves it there and he hated the idea of leaving his house. They coddle him and the fact is he can be... well, difficult. Th

Merrill Gardens at Sheldon Park

My dad suffered a stroke 20 days in and was dehydrated although I was paying for them to take him to the dining room I don't believe they were. He had indents on his knees for being on the floor so long and took hours to call the hospital or myself to get a report thus they didn't do the stoke protocol due to the delay in reporting. The person who sold me on the placement was great but minute I signed everything was chaotic and all over the place. Feces left in the hallway I had to report to get cleaned. It was not

I am impressed with the staff. They are both friendly and anxious to help. The activities are diverse and seem to be fun for all. My daughter has made a number of new friends. My overall impression is a very positive one.
