Merrill Gardens

My 87 year-old mom has lived at Merrill Gardens at Tukwila (formerly Holden Southcenter) for 18 months, and it truly is a wonderful place. This review might sound a bit over-the-top with praise, but my platitudes are genuine. As you can see from the photos, the facility itself is gorgeous -- like a luxury hotel (that's actually how I describe it to friends). My mom's apartment is absolutely perfect for her: spacious, light-filled, modern, and functional. Nothing about it says "assisted living." My mom is quite independent and only utilizes the medication management service, which is very reasonably priced, but if she ever needs additional assistive care, we know it's available from well-trained and caring staff members. Speaking of the staff, the folks who work at Merrill Gardens Tukwila treat the residents like family, and that's not an exaggeration. They are absolute angels. I should also mention that there's a clear effort by management to make MGT an inclusive and welcoming co

The public bathrooms weren't cleaned enough and not enough attention to details (corners of the floor etc). Some of the staff went above and beyond to be helpful. My mom needed a little more assistance toward the end and they weren't allowed to help with bandages. They did help her with laundering some larger items such as blankets. The dining room was very nice but my mom often complained that the food was never hot. They had lists of activities daily even though my mom wouldn't participate in them. She only liked to go to a weekly Deals and Steals event. I visited several places before choosing Merrill Gardens, and my mom had the same basic cost (other than adding additional assistance in the last 6 months) as when she initially moved in. They were raising their prices when she passed. The management was accommodating with my mom's request to host a few friends for Happy Hour in the common space living room on Fridays (outside guests). I hosted a staff lunch when she passed to thank them.

Friendly staff. We call the place "the resort" Mom is very happy there but says the food is mediocre

My dad was previously a resident at Truewood by Merrill Clovis and the experience was great for him. They took great care of my dad. Unfortunately, we had to leave because the cost of care was raised out of his affordability and his care needs increased.

My loved one is currently a resident at Pine Rock Manor and everything has been mostly great so far. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The staff, care services, meals and activities are also great. I would recommend Pine Rock Manor to others.

My loved one passed away [date removed]. They were very good for her. The staff all seemed to be genuinely concerned for her well being and her needs at all times.

My mom passed away in [date removed] , but I will say Merrill Gardens was great with my mom and addressed any issues that we brought up promptly. Kept us informed if she was not feeling well on any given day. Very good. I would give them a 5. If I did have a issue they addressed it immediately. They were very good to my mother.

Extremely supportive administration and admissions people/process. I will definitely recommend to others.

I would rate all at 5. My mother is very happy with Merrill Gardens community. She says the food is very good, she's made friends and they have a lot of activities. We would recommend the community.

It's been very good and they've been very thoughtful. No additional comments.

As good as an assisted living can be. But much more expensive than we imagined.

Overall, I've been pleased with Truewood by Merrill Henderson. When I moved here, I used a mover recommended by Truewood and they did a great job and were very reasonable. The staff here is great. Very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping does a good job and they let me know when they're coming. The food is okay and sometimes it's even great. The servers are very good and they seem to know everyone's name. The facility is on the old side, but they maintain it well. I would definitely recommend this place.

I would definitely recommend the community; staff is very friendly, residents seem happy, good price.

We had a great experience. My dad loved living here and we were very relieved to see him adjust quickly to the environment, make friends and feel like he belonged. Any one interested in a location for their parent should tour the community. You feel welcomed to stay from the moment you walk to the doors. It's not too big, there is plenty to do, the food is great, and the staff is like family.

My loved one was previously a resident at Truewood by Merrill Clovis and everything about the experience was great. However, ultimately she wanted to be near family and they finally pitched in to help her with that move. She moved to a facility closer to kids.

So far so good. I would recommend to others.

Our loved one was only there for 5 weeks for rehab care, and based on the experience we had we would recommend this community to other families.

The staff were very friendly and curious. The menu is fantastic and they have alternative food for you. I would recommend a friend to Truewood they have the most value for the money.

Our family is extremely happy with our experience with A Place For Mom as well as with Merrill Gardens. Everyone with whom we've been in touch has been helpful, kind, responsive, and knowledgeable. I'd recommend A Place For Mom/Merrill Gardens to anyone looking for a seamless experience. The service helps you and your loved one to feel looked-after as you go through what is often an emotionally-charged process.

My father passed away last year. He lived a very full 92 years. The people at Turner's were excellent while he was there. We did hospice care at Turners and their team surpassed all expectations. I would strongly recommend them to anyone!
