I only have a few complaints after Covid this place has been short of staff. I don't get phone calls that I'm supposed to get them. Mom was in a car accident and Merrill Gardens contacted me a day later, and it was the head nurse who called me the day after "to follow up" not knowing I had no idea mom was in a car accident.The head nurse was shocked that I was not called the day of the accident that was a little upsetting. Also, when Mom has been admitted to the hospital at times, and I didn't know she was in the hospital, but all I knew is she was not answering her phone I would call the front desk looking for Mom at Merrill Gardens.They would say they didn't know where she was and not offer any kind of help except that will try to call me back. When Mom first moved in there, it was great, but I think Covid is really damaged this place. They're going up on their prices doubling tripling. Mom has lost many friends because they had to move into their own apartments not being able to afford the prices. That might be out of their control. I don't know mom's lucky that she has the money to be able to stay there. Also, Mom is reported that they don't offer healthy menu options. It's a lot of spicy food with no other options. Maybe a side dish option high fat, lots of salt and butter. Mom won't leave because of the friends that she has made and at her age she says she doesn't have the energy to move and it's not that bad and she has figured how to cope with some of the shortcomings of Merrill Gardens. She does report that they have great activities that and she seems to be having fun with her friends. I believe that they are just struggling because of Covid they really have the best intentions It is a beautiful facility and all the residents there do seem happy and it doesn't smell bad when I go in there and like I said they have a lot of great activities....

Our Mom LOVES Merrill Gardens. It is wonderful that she can have her dog Benji with her. She loves sitting on her back patio full of plants and flowers. Her independence is very important to her. My sister and I feel that we made the best decision EVER, moving Mom to Merrill Gardens where she is thriving, feels very safe and is happy :)

I like the community very much and it is very nice too. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here. I like the way it is set up and it is spacious all around. I liked the feeling when I toured and I knew a few people here. I would recommend the community.

We liked this community when we visited. This is a larger community with several buildings and several stories high. The community is beautiful and the people we met were really nice. This community is a little more expensive than we were looking for.

This is a great community, and my father is doing very well since his move. It has made huge difference in him. I'am very satisfied with all they have done for us. I know he is safe, and in good hands. They have a good, outgoing staff here at this community. There is a lot of social activities available for the residents. They offer tons of services for the residents. I have nothing but compliments for this community, and I would absolutely recommend this community.

This community was great! It just didn't seem like a good fit for my friend who needed more assistance.It's a good option for an independent senior who prefers a private apartment and wants to be more involved in activities.

May 12, 2017It definitely sounds like you did your research while looking into senior living options! We are so pleased that you chose Merrill Gardens.
It took the staff a couple of weeks to figure out my mother's specific needs. Once we as a team made a plan, the staff has been very efficient.
