We love the Groves! We have my mom in the memory care unit. The facility is always clean and the atmosphere is light and airy. The staff is very competent and always friendly in their interactions with the residents and guests alike. Mom is always clean and she enjoys the many activities they have and we feel she is getting the stimulation and interaction with others that she needs. I would gladly recommend the Groves to anyone for memory care for a family member.... Read more

My father-in-law is at this community and he really likes it and settling right in. I only have one request for the caregivers or staff to always call me first before they do anything for him, and they are working on that. They come in and clean and do his laundry. The food is good and he has a choice of the main meal or a variety of other things to order. The staff is nice and caring. Once he makes more friends he will join in on the activities. It has a real nice courtyard area with 4 fireplaces which dad loves. I would recommend this to my friends and family.

October 20, 2017We are glad to hear that The Groves seems like the perfect fit! We are proud of our community and the services we provide residents.
It was not a good fit for my loved one at The Groves, A Merrill Gardens Community. If you are totally independent and don't need care it might be a good fit for that person. It is super clean, and the staff is very friendly. It is very noisy and chaotic with a lot going on. You might find a resident or two sleeping in the lobby as you come in. You have to have all prescriptions go through their pharmacy and my doctor had problems getting my loved one's medication on hand for her to take. I needed my loved one's medication and food intake monitored. This was not a good fit for us.

October 6, 2017Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this feedback. We are sharing your information with the community team. If you are willing to provide additional details, please contact our Vice President of Operations at [removed].
It is going great, although I do have some concerns. I see there is not enough workers, with the exception they had some extra staff and some did not look familiar. The meals are great for my mom. I recently had a walker dropped off and we can't find it. I do like how they have a visiting dentist, he went to see my mom and did some x-rays. That was great and I did not have to take time off from work.

I like the care at this community.The staff is very caring to my father's needs. The community is clean and the environment is nice for him. I like knowing that he does like the menu of the health meals that are available. They do offer my father to participate with the others in activities that are offered. We would recommend the care and the value of this community to other families.

Absolutely loved this facility. The energy of both staff and residents was great. Only licensed to care for 60+ so it didn't work for us. But it was a place that I, as a 35 yr old, would love to retire to one day!!

July 8, 2016Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this positive feedback for The Groves. I am glad to hear that your mother is doing well. Please let us know if there is anything additional we can do to provide a great experience for you and your mother.
It has been a very good experience for us here at this community. This is a new facility. So they are still trying to work somethings out, but so far they are trying their best. They have a new manager and she is making some great improvements to the community. The staff is great, they are very responsive to my concerns. They are really on top of things. There are wonderful activities offered. The meals are great, the food is very good quality. They have an excellent chef. Everything is working out very well.

The place is beautiful but it's understaffed especially servers, med techs and caregivers. I heard a man slipped on a wet floor and was on the ground for four hours!! Caregivers didn't even noticed.

My mom has been at the Groves for a little over a month and we couldn't be happier! Every staff member is warm, caring and intuitive to the residents' needs. Her transition has gone more smoothly than I ever thought possible! I would highly recommend The Groves for your loved one's care needs.

February 22, 2016We are so glad to hear that you and your mom are happy with The Groves. Our team works very hard to provide a warm and caring environment for residents, so it is wonderful to hear that this is being experienced.
When I began my search for an Assisted Living home for my elderly parents I had no idea how time consuming it would be. I then signed up for a website to help me narrow down the choices in my area. I knew my Mom was having much difficulty caring for my Dad who was suffering from Vascular Dementia. I toured several Assisted Living facilities before I toured The Groves. I was very impressed with the beauty of The Groves inside and out. The apartments were very spacious. The staff were so friendly and helpful, answering my many questions. They have a Memory Care unit which was so nice. It was so nice knowing that as my Dad's condition declines, their life would not be disrupted by having to move to a Memory Care facility. I can not say enough about the caring staff, from Housekeeping to the General Manager.

November 3, 2015We are so pleased to hear about your positive experience moving your parents to The Groves. We appreciate you taking the time to write us this review, and we will share your kind words with all of our team members.
This is a brand new facility that has been open less than 3 months. We moved my mother-in-law in two weeks ago. The staff at The Groves have been very helpful and supportive as she makes the transition to her new home. We are thankful this community is available for her to live and know when the time comes that she needs memory care all we need to do is move her to the other side of the building. The cost is typical for the services, amenities and care being provided.

It's a beautiful facility. It's very elegant with a lot of beauty, which is what my husband needed. The staff could not be more supportive and helpful. They just opened when I put my husband there. The facility is 5 minutes from where I live. I'm very happy with it. My overall rating of this property is 5 stars. I rated the care services and activities 4 stars because they just opened. They are just getting on their feet.

The Groves, A Merrill Gardens Community was very welcoming when we got there and they have been very good with my dad. They have done a really good job engaging him, taking good care of him, and making sure he is right at home.
