So glad we found Merrill Gardens for our parents

We have been looking for an assisted living facility for my parents for quite some time. We looked at many places but knew we were at home when we walked into Merrill Gardens and were greeted by wonderful staff. We had to move my dad in earlier than my mom, and they provided the extra services he needed. The place is beautiful, and we love how they decorate for the holidays. We are excited that my parents have started to get to know other people, especially other couples, and that there are so many activities they can get involved in throughout the week. We strongly suggest you visit Merrill Gardens if you are searching for a friendly, bright environment whose staff truly cares for its residents.

A new town and a new home for mom

My family was blessed to find a beautiful home for our Mom. Truewood by Merrill, West Covina, California has provided more than just a home. They have provided a community that includes delicious meals, multiple daily activities, outings to go shopping, dining out, and group movie outing options. I was concerned since my Mom needs more personal care and Truewood covered that with their optional caregiving services. I cannot say enough about [name removed] , the manager, [name removed] , Activities Directory, and [name removed] , with Saving [name removed] , together they have given us peace of mind to know our Mom is in a caring and activity filled environment that she can call home.

Very Happy Resident

I’m writing this review on behalf of my 83 year old mom who has now been living at Truewood for almost one year! Mom is extremely happy with the staff and the level of care that she gets from the “Saving Grace” caregivers. I’ve also expressed my gratitude to [name removed], the manager on how beautiful the place has looked with the new renovations and with the continued care that she’s put into the place. Also hats off to the chef’s at the facility on their impeccable and delicious food that they prepare for the residents every day. I am extremely blessed to have found this facility that cares so much about their residents like it’s their own family. I feel very comfortable going there every day when visiting my mom knowing that she is in good hands!

The ease of Merrill Gardens

When I needed to find senior living for my mother, it was crunch time. I was fortunate enough to quickly find Merrill Gardens in West Chester. They made the transition from private home to senior living easy. Having no prior experience with these facilities, I depended on their expertise to guide me in making the best decision for my mother. She has adjusted beautifully because of the staff and the residents. From the first tour to our move in day, they were there to help. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, you couldn’t help but feel at home. I would recommend Merrill Gardens wholeheartedly.

Answered Prayer - First Class Living for Mom

Mom has been residing here at Merrill Gardens for a couple of months now. I want to take a moment to thank the staff for making Mom and her loved ones feel so welcomed here. I feel so blessed that we have found such a wonderful place for Mom to be able to call home. She has been so impressed with the facilities, staff, meals, activities and the list goes on and on. The food here is great, we often find ourselves joining her for dinner at the facility restaurant. I honestly cannot think of any negative feedback, everything is 100% awesome. I can highly recommend Merrill Garden with no reservations, and I consider this a must-see place to bring your loved one. We are truly so thankful we have found you.

Great Community

They went through a recent upgrade. It is wonderful! My mother has been here for almost 10 months and is thriving. She enjoys the Holiday Buffets and making new friends! The staff is helpful and always ready to help if we have a concern or need.

Caring staff keep my loved one safe.

When I could no longer keep my husband safe at home, I contacted a Place for Mom. They arranged some tours for me and I decided on the Memory Care Unit at Truewood Charlotte Center. The administration is knowledgeable about dementia and is empathetic and easy to talk to. The caregivers are friendly and caring towards the residents. No one is perfect, but they are patient with the residents and have helped my husband adjust to a difficult situation. And they help me every time I visit.

Review for Merrill Gardens at Barkley Place

The atmosphere was comfortable. Lots of activities. Great people there. Good place for my dad to stay. I would recommend it to others. My dad wasn't very happy when he found out he was moving to an independent living facility but it only took a bit of time for him to enjoy it there and make friends. After almost 3 years he is an ambassador and shows new residents around, has many friends (and has a girlfriend), does many activities and outings, and is thriving there. I am so happy I chose Merrill! I especially like how they handle hurricane weather. They are very prepared, stock up with food/water and employees will even stay overnight with the residents if needed. They also text regular updates with how things are going like power outages and such. Highly recommend this facility for loved ones.

Exceeding expectations on every level

When our family faced that my dad needed a level of care that was not possible for us to deliver at home, I began to search, and research, in earnest. I toured, interviewed, compared, read reviews and endless articles, sought out others who had walked this journey before me. I felt very lost, very alone. Nothing was clicking for me. Then I showed up for my appointment at Merrill Gardens, a day early! I was so stressed out, I had confused the day. No matter, the staff was unruffled, professional, warm, caring and supportive. I felt, for the first time in two weeks, that maybe it was going to be alright. Maybe I could trust someone to take care of my dad. I chose MG and it has been such a positive experience, for my dad and for all of my family. The quality of the care staff and support staff is the key, as well as top notch facilities, & excellent management that truly know what they are doing. Communication and community are their touchstones. I recommend M Gardens highly.

Joyful and welcoming

We only toured 3 or 4 facilities and all most were lovely but Merrill Gardens had a vibrancy that wasn't present at the other facilities. I think my mom would have enjoyed living with these people. Unfortunately my mom passed away before she could move in.

I would recommend. You all took good care of my dad. I know he was comfortable when he was there.
