Merrill Gardens

Comfortable environment that doesn't look or feel like a hospital. The staff were very friendly and one nurse took the time to analyze my situation and make very informative recommendations. There also appeared to be a broad set of choices for activities, outdoors and indoors. I couldn't determine how well the staff encourages the member to participate, but the opportunity was definitely there.

I thought the staff at this community where very friendly and gave my loved one and I a great tour of there community. They had a wide open floor plan that was easy for the residents to navigate through. I liked that I saw many of them involved in different activities throughout the building. It was just more of a location issue that I had on why I couldn't place my mother in this community.

I thought this place had a lot of really great amenities available to all of the residents and the facility was very well maintained. The staff where very professional during our tour and made sure to give lots of great information to my father and I about there community. I have no complaints about our visit and would recommend this place to anyone

We toured this community for care for my father I liked the staff and the community was clean. They offer alot of activies for the residents. The cost for the care seemed very reasonable. The community was clean and we liked the atmospher for the care. We suggest that other families tour this community for the care of a loved one.

When my mom was apart of this community she had good care and she enjoyed her stay very much. It is a brand new faculty and doe not have their AL license yet. In April they will have their license for AL. With that in mind they were limited in what they could provide. However they had an outside agency help with the care for the residents. It was a good experience even though it was limited.

Definitely an affordable option and larger living space.

My friend is doing okay and has improved a lot since being here. When he moved in he did not get a good immediate experience. He likes the staff and appreciates their help. Being on the independent side, he was hoping that it would cost him less. He likes the food option and it is part of the rent. I think it's a nice facility with nice staff.

Bay park was a very nice facility. I had a good tour and everyone there was very friendly. It was a close second choice but found another community that fit my father's needs better.

When I toured Fig Gardens, I though it seemed okay. The staff was friendly. The tour guide was nice as well and took me around the building.

My father is doing pretty well here at this community. So far everything is working out very well. He likes it here, and I'am trilled with his move to this community. The staff is very good. He has adjusted very well to this facility. It has been a great experience, and I would recommend this community.

Things have been okay for my mother since her move. The place is very clean and everyone is friendly, but we are struggling with some of the help. They are not providing the level of care that she needs.

Based on the fact that it's new, there is not a lot of participation in the activities which inhibits my dad. He is in the assisted living side and they provide his medication. It seems they are a little slow in the process if there is a change. There is only one nurse so she may need some help to stay on top of it. The meals are served on time and housekeeping has been all good so far. this community is the best fit for my dad and I would recommend them to my family or friends.

When I toured the Merrill Gardens at Tacoma, I noticed that the place was very nice and so were the people. When I got there for my tour, the tour guide was on time and had a lot of information for me. The place was a good choice, but we picked another community that we thought would for my mother's needs better.

When I toured the Merrill Gardens at Auburn, I noticed that the place was very nice and so were the people. When I got there for my tour, the tour guide was on time and had a lot of information for me. The place was a good choice, but we picked another community that we thought would for my mother's needs better.

This looked like a nice community when I visited. This community is in a busy area, however I was looking for something a little quieter. The people I met were nice.

My parents moved here and my mother is not happy but it's nothing to do with the community, she is just adjusting. She feels she was forced into it. From my perspective I would rate them a 5 but given her standpoint I gave them a 4. The people are wonderful and the community is very nice. They cook and clean for her and I'm so glad she doesn't have to worry about that. We chose this community because everyone was so wonderful and welcoming and the price was something we could afford.

The residents are nice and dad has made some friends. They offer daily activities. He seems to enjoy the food. I thought it was good quality food similar to cafeteria style food. The community is clean and I would recommend it. Compared to others this community is very good. The community does show it's age in certain places, however overall the look and feel is pretty good. Dad has a first floor apartment with a security door to an outside patio.

My mother in law is doing well since her move to the community. She has mentioned that the staff is having some turnover. She is enjoying the place as much as she can being away from her home. The meals are good, but they recently lost their chef and the food is not as good as it used to be. Other than that, they take good care of her.

Everything went well when we went here. The place was very clean and very nice for the most part. The people treated us well and made sure that they answered all of our questions. The price was a big reason why did not pick this community.

Pleasant surroundings, nice extras (washer/dryer in apt.), good location. Considering it at present.
