Mom has been residing here at Merrill Gardens for a couple of months now. I want to take a moment to thank the staff for making Mom and her loved ones feel so welcomed here. I feel so blessed that we have found such a wonderful place for Mom to be able to call home. She has been so impressed with the facilities, staff, meals, activities and the list goes on and on. The food here is great, we often find ourselves joining her for dinner at the facility restaurant. I honestly cannot think of any negative feedback, everything is 100% awesome. I can highly recommend Merrill Garden with no reservations, and I consider this a must-see place to bring your loved one. We are truly so thankful we have found you.... Read more

Had a wonderful and stress free experience getting my great grandmother into a new home. Both her and I were more than satisfied with the help of the facility members and look forward to this new chapter in her life.

November 3, 2024Hi There, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this review! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything.
The staff is very friendly, they also make a very special effort to get to know each resident , there needs and family members personally. We have always felt very welcomed, and have seen the personal help and needs to the residents. As far as the food goes, they did have a meeting with the staff and residents to work on this. It is very pricey, but she's very happy there so you can't put a price on that.

August 9, 2024Hi Hencs, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this review! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything.
The public bathrooms weren't cleaned enough and not enough attention to details (corners of the floor etc). Some of the staff went above and beyond to be helpful. My mom needed a little more assistance toward the end and they weren't allowed to help with bandages. They did help her with laundering some larger items such as blankets. The dining room was very nice but my mom often complained that the food was never hot. They had lists of activities daily even though my mom wouldn't participate in them. She only liked to go to a weekly Deals and Steals event. I visited several places before choosing Merrill Gardens, and my mom had the same basic cost (other than adding additional assistance in the last 6 months) as when she initially moved in. They were raising their prices when she passed. The management was accommodating with my mom's request to host a few friends for Happy Hour in the common space living room on Fridays (outside guests). I hosted a staff lunch when she passed to thank them.

I would tell a friend that APlace For Mom was the answer to all of our questions and a blessing in helping us find the right place for my dad. We worked closely with [name removed] and she was just so AMAZING!!!..We would recommend yo everyone!!!We decided on Merrill Gardens because when my dad walked in the front door he said..this is it..this is where I'm going to live...It was warm and welcoming and everyone is so friendly and caring and he is very happy...We are so grateful to have found the right place for my dad.

We love Merrill Gardens at Rancho Cucamonga! My mother-in-law is so happy here. The staff is so loving and helpful. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The care services, activities and food are also great. In fact, I now have my mother moving into Merrill Gardens at Rancho Cucamonga this week. We will now have both moms in the area, one in a studio apartment and one in a one bedroom apartment, just a two minute drive away from me. I would recommend this facility to others.

The experience with the community has been very good. They seem to have a lot of activities and a very friendly Activities Director. My mom doesn't want to participate in much. The staff gets to know the families and are helpful and patient. We moved my mom to a different room from her original assignment and the staff was pretty good about working with us. The rooms have nice views with patios or balconies in all rooms.

It was clean. The meal options were good. It was more so a place for independent living. it was really nice.
Our family lives out of state and the staff were very helpful in getting the paperwork in order and getting things figured out so that he could move in. They were very forthcoming about any charges and there were never any surprises which was nice. I would definitely recommend Merrill Gardens to other families.

It's pretty nice here. With Covid, it could be a lot better. There are no activities at all right now. I think in the long run it will get better, but right now it's not the best. The food is off and on - sometimes it's good, then other times not. But the staff are very good. They're very nice and helpful. And my apartment is very good as well.

The friendliness of the staff team and the care services is higher than 5 stars. The meals and dining is a 5 plus, our loved one really enjoys the food. The activities are a 5 plus, especially the Wii bowling. The value for cost is fine.
