Mission Ridge knocked our sox off

From our first tour of the place, my wife and I were extremely happy with the quality of the facility. My mother in law has been a resident for just over one year and been very happy with the staff. They are attentive to the needs of my MIL and from our interactions they CARE about the residents. The menu that the residents can choose from is diverse and every day besides the standard selections there are two special items for diversity. We have tasted the food and we were very happy with the quality. Finally, every day the staff has activities for residents including trips out of the facility. We have been very happy with Mission Ridge.

A Warm and Caring Community for Family

My aunt and uncle have lived at Merrill Gardens, Auburn, for 8 years. Throughout this time, the staff at Merrill Gardens Auburn took excellent care of my aunt and uncle. From the diligent cleaning staff to the food service staff to the activity organizers to the caregivers and nursing staff, everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely engaged with my family. They went out of their way to ensure that my aunt and uncle were safe and well taken care of. Knowing that my aunt and uncle were in such capable hands was a great comfort to me and eased many worries. This is an excellent choice for family members needing assisted care.

The complex is lovely with an interior courtyard, lots of greenery, dining excellent, receptionist team wonderful, limited assistance but good support. Only drawback is once folks required more care, had to move. Great place for seniors! Residents were friendly and welcoming. The residents helped parents get to know their way around.

A 'soft landing'

I would give a 5 for all categories. I've been at Merrill Gardens for about 6 weeks now. Glad I moved here. Have enjoyed it thoroughly. I'm in my 6th week at Merrill Gardens. Which also happens to be the 56th year anniversary of Woodstock. My generation. Peace, love and music. As I've aged (73) I've noticed that some of my pieces and parts are now a little "wiggly". Don't function as well. But what matters - comes from the heart. Peace, kindness and serenity. These are the vibes I continue to feel at Merrill Gardens

Comfortable and caring community

The aides are educated and caring. I don't have to employ anyone privately. There are always 2 nurses in the building and other medical related people come in here when needed. Two maintenance people are always here too in addition to the cleaners. Someone drives patients to appointments when necessary. The cna's like working here and praise the facility in comparison to other places they have worked. The staff gave residents presidents at Xmas and Valentines Day. Mom plays Bingo everyday and goes to whatever activity or event is scheduled: Yesterday root beer floats and trivia. The day before an international children's choir made up of orphans from Liberia and Peru. Free wine is available at 3 Tuesdays and Thursdays. Most of the residents are very friendly. Dogs and cats are allowed. We've not had any surprise price changes or charges. Mom has a Hoyer so no one has to lift her by hand. It's clean and attractive here and the food is fine.

What I like most about the place is that they really care about the people that live there. Activities are great but if they don't care it doesn't matter. They have a lot of cool stuff to do there. When I was touring the place they had a Kentucky Derby watch party and al the ladies were wearing their hats and it was so cute. They had pizza and cupcakes and drinks. My dad enjoys the live music they have the most. The lady that organizes that stuff is such a sweetheart,
