a nice community

I think the best thing is she is around other people and enjoys the musical entertainment. She is quite the critic! We would definitely recommend the Merrill Gardens at Tacoma community to other families who may need a place for their loved ones.

A Good Place

Overall a good facility. The food service has gone down in quality. Also, the food is not delivered hot which is a constant complaint from my mom.

Critical

Their key did not work when they tried to open an apartment door (huge red flag for me). Also, they had a waiting list so I was under the impression that they didn't care if I wanted a room or not.

Merrill Gardens was lovely. Seemed to be a larger community than another community in the area. The staff person doing the tour was good about answering questions. I didn't see too much of the activities when I was there briefly--the residents that I saw were on their way to the dining room for breakfast.
