We would give a 1 for all... Our loved one had a terrible experience. Would not recommend to anyone. Areas they could improve on - Friendliness of staff, kitchen (food, policies), Quality of care, cleanliness (rooms weren't cleaned). Staff stole from my dad. I could go on and on

The staff is supportive and pleasant. The residents have a lot of options for activities. The location is great for access to many things nearby. The senior director has changed twice in the last year, and there have been gaps in leadership, communication, and followup.

The residents and staff are generally very friendly. The food is good. The housekeeping staff is poorly trained and managed. The dining room staff are good and very helpful to residents. The chef won 2nd place for his entrée in the "Chef Wars" against 5 other facilities. The smaller size means you get to know almost everyone. They have an "ambassador " program in which every new resident is assigned an ambassador, or mentor, to help them navigate during their first few days here, with weekly follow-ups for several weeks.

Impossible to communicate because of high turnover in all areas at the time my aunts were at Merrywood. I believe the Director position is stable now.

Understanding independent living vs assisted living is an early challenge. MerryWood on Park is a smaller and much more personable facility. The apartment sizes are great for what is needed and for the price.

Merrywood was very nice. it was just not chosen by my mother.
I toured with Merrywood on Park and it just seemed a bit....snobbish. I was also a very pricey place in comparison to [facility name removed] which is the facility that we chose.

We toured MerryWood on Park. It was a terrible experience for us. The elevator sounded like it was going to die, and this was concerning. The size of rooms weren't what we expected and there was a lack of natural lighting. Also at another community we toured, both residents and employees stopped us in the hall to talk as we were visiting. No one did that at MerryWood. MerryWood was very dark and depressing. Lots of people using mobility devices. They had a musician playing in the living area and there were not enough seats such that they were overflowing down the hallway

May 28, 2023We are sorry to hear of your experience and would like to invite you back in during a more active time of day. Merrywood is known for having an active population and a very robust activities calendar. In fact, the Carolina Panthers were just in the community cooking breakfast for all our seniors! Merrywood is set on a historic, eight acre wooded lot so most the apartments will have morning sunshine and shade mid afternoon on. We do apologize for the elevator, this is getting rectified and we do have additional elevators in the community.
My aunts are very happy here. The activities they have are plentiful and they love the food. They said the meals are unbelievable and it is served restaurant style. They have been doing so many cool holiday activities and they took them to go look at lights. They have something to do everyday and are always busy. The facility is very nice and has been a wonderful fit for them. The issue I am having is with the billing department. They have had significant amount of turnover in that area so it has been difficult to reach out and get answers from anyone or pay the bills. Overall I would recommend Merrywood on Park to others looking, it has been a Godsend.

I think that MerryWood on Park It is a great place. They take great care of my loved one. They are so empowering to the residents. It has been a great experience for my loved one. My loved on likes meeting meeting people and becoming friends. That is one of the things we liked about MerryWood on Park. My loved one is really engaged in the activities and there are a lot of them. She attends the parties and events that are held there at the facility. The majority of the time the meals are great, but there have been times when they do a buffet and my loved one does not care for the buffet style meal.

May 28, 2023Thank you for the great feedback and allowing Merrywood to care for your loved one! We do have monthly resident/staff meetings so please have your loved one voice their opinion on the Sunday buffet.
We are absolutely thrilled with the apartments on the independent living side they are extremely cozy, however they need to make some improvements with their staffing and meals. There is a select few staff members that are friendly but the kitchen staff can be extremely rude to the residents. The food is a hit or miss and the executive director is non communicative. They need to work on their follow through - their word is not good
