December 5, 2024Hi Michelle, thank you for this heart-warming review. It sounds like it was a long process, including moving from California (!), and we are so happy that she no longer feels alone and has enjoyed her time at Merrill Gardens so far. We hope to see you around soon. Happy holidays!
Staff is very professional and extremely responsive to needs/requests. Meals and meal times are flexible as dining room is open from 7:00am to 7:00pm. You may also take meals to your apartment. A large variety of activities from yoga to daily movies in our comfortable movie Theatre! Location is outstanding with some apartments offering views of Commencement Bay, Mt. Rainier, Cascade and Olympic Mountains as well as beautiful Wright Park!

November 1, 2024Hi Jim, 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 support, care, and attention my parents have received is consistently outstanding. The facility itself is gorgeous, the staff are uniformly friendly and supportive, and the array of activities offered for residents is outstanding. Absolutely would recommend Merrill Gardens to anyone - as a matter of fact, my wife's uncle is considering moving there right now.

Our experience was excellent and continues to be so. [name removed] loves her apartment and the area is very convenient. I would recommend Merrill Gardens to anyone. It's beautiful and didn't feel like you would think of a place with assisted living to look. Also, the sky lounge is stunning.

February 27, 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.
When I arrived here at MGWP 5 months ago, I started to smile. The location, the inviting atmosphere, the friendly staff. It all felt right and it still does! The friendly staff keep me safe and attend to all of my needs. The comfortable dining room serves the best from-scratch soup in town along with tasty, varied entrees and desserts like my Grandma used to make. The lobby lounges, terraces, game and activity room flank the theater and gym. Parties fill the Sky Lounge and regularly spill out onto the panoramic Rooftop Deck! Meanwhile, the activities team fill the calendar with extraordinary outings as well as great events inside our beautiful community. This is the place for ME!

February 27, 2024Hi Sally, thank you for taking the time to leave us this review! Please let us know if we can do anything else moving forward.
After a thorough research of Senior Communities from Gig Harbor to Tacoma, I found Merrill Gardens @ Wright Park to be the most Amazing place to live. For us, living here is like being on a five star vacation. There are daily activities, a variety of on and off campus events for all residents that wish to participate. We have a beautiful theatre where there are movies every night, special interest talks, etc. Food is available from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The menu's are carefully planned and prepared for anyone's palet to enjoy. The entire Merrill Gardens staff are the best!! I can't think of a better place to live

We moved our mom in a few months ago. There are so many things to do. Nice staff, clean facility. Flavored water in the lobby, holiday decorations. It's just beautiful. Highly recommend. The top outside area is so pretty with all the plants, flowers and veggie garden. And the view!! It can't be beat.

My loved one was previously a resident at Merrill Gardens at Wright Park and everything about his experience at this facility was great. The staff was very friendly, helpful and quick to help with anything that my loved one or family needed. The move in and move out process was easy. My loved one said the food was fine, but sometimes cold. Overall, I would recommend Merrill Gardens at Wright Park to others.

Everything about Merrill Gardens at Wright Park is a 5, however I think the pet fees & the use of the car garage is over the top. Based on the experience I have had so far with this community, I would absolutely recommend them to other families. It's a beautiful Community with all the amenities. I did a lot of research of the various communities and Merrill Gardens @ Wright Park won hands down! And if you ever get the chance, they serve great food 7:00 AM- 7:00 PM

The experience has been better than I ever imagined. Every single staff member is unfailingly friendly and helpful. Within a week of moving in my parents were greeted by name anytime they passed by a staff member. There are a ton of really well thought out activities for residents, including movies every night, Happy Hour Thursday, painting, games, outings, etc. I'm delighted my parents are living in a place that gives all the support and help they need AND has so many fantastic opportunities for socializing and enjoying life.

The Merrill Gardens at Wright's Park was wonderful; however, they were not open yet and they were more than we wanted to spend per month for the care for our loved one.
