I would say I felt very at home and confident that my mom was being taken care of with friendly care workers and med-techs. People in the offices were very helpful and friendly and took the time with you. The activities kept my mom busy with things to do. At this time of life as you get older, it can be challenging but I feel her care here was worth the money at that time.... Read more

It's beautiful, and the staff is great. I think it's a great value. They will call me if there is any kind of a problem. The food is good, it's not an issue. My mother in law chose this based on how friendly everyone was and she liked how open and pretty it was, she felt more at home here.

This was one of my top two when we were looking. It was really nice, but it was a little too independent for my loved one. They had kitchens in their rooms, which would have given my loved one the option to not go socialize in the dining room, and it may not have been safe for her. We needed something with just a little more care, and more room to transition as her care needs increased. Still was very nice.

I knew this as a Merril Gardens. The cleanliness impeccable! There were a lot of activities for the residence all the time. The whole facility was very clean including the outdoors, which is very important to me. My mom stated at two of these communities and I was very happy with both of them. They were the best!

This place is a disaster. They haven't had a manager in 18 months. No chef for months. No activities director at all, and nothing but a LVN was nothing but trouble. They do not have the people or ability to assist the elderly that live there. I have moved Mother out and brought her home with me for Christmas and then I am looking for a Nursing home. She need more help than Merrill Gardens can provide. Just to give her 3 pills a day 3 am and 2 pm they were charging Mother $610.00 per month. Her Doctor said he had never had such a unorganized and unco-operative home for the elderly.

It was very clean and very spacious. The staff and the manager were very nice. Even the maintenance man was good - he should be a salesman. It was very good and we liked it the most of any place we saw but my in-laws decided they wanted to go back to Oregon. Cost-wise, it was cheaper than some of the other ones we saw. It was by far the best overall. The first time we looked at it the manager was sick so the maintenance man showed us around. He showed a room and said it would look like new after the lady moved out. She must have had nails in every wall. The next time we saw it, it had been painted, there was new carpet - it was beautiful. The living room was very large and there were sliding doors to a patio. This was by far the best that we looked at.

The big plus about Merrill Garden is that you can eat your meals whenever you would like. The apartments I saw were gorgeous. Management was. Very courteous when I toured, and I did not feel any pressure whatsoever.
