Merrill Gardens

The staff at Merrill Gardens at Gilroy was very easy to get along with during the whole process of my Mom moving in to her apartment. They continue to be very kind and helpful, remembering her name, daily paper, meal favorites, medicine administration and greeting her family. I would definitely recommend Merrill Gardens at Gilroy to others.

I would recommend Truewood to any and everyone. They have a true heart and caring for what they do. They demonstrate their caring through empathy and an understanding of what their residences are going through. I really value their sincerity. For that staff, it wasn't just a job.

Exemplary community! The environment and well being of the residents is an obvious top priority!The personnel is extremely friendly and helpful, as are each and every resident. Workers as well as residents all speak very highly of Truewood. The community always looks, smells, and is kept very clean. There are multiple activities daily for residents to engage in, should they choose to participate. Games, exercise classes, crafts, singalongs, group outings, all intended to build relationships, and stimulate minds & bodies. Often times there are "special monthly events" which are spectacular - enjoyed equally by employees as well as residents. From the top management, to director, housekeeping, maintenance staff, front desk receptionists, activities director, and salon stylist, all are professional, very responsive, caring, and compassionate. It is a real sense of family at Truewood, a genuine, loving, caring community where residents thrive!

I appreciated all of the help and kindness everyone blessed us with during this difficult time in my sister's life. I would definitely recommend Merrill Gardens at Barkley Place to anyone looking for a loving ,warm, friendly home away from home.

This community is caring and offers all the services needed in assisted living. The staff truly cares & know everyone's name!! The restaurant style dining (all day, 7am - 7pm), is fabulous!

Great food! Amazing staff that give good care to my grandma. I love to visit her.

My mother is a resident at Truewood by Merrill Clovis and the experience has been great. My mother really enjoys the food. The staff is very caring and friendly, and they are always cleaning. They send texts about important info, also. Most importantly, my mother has not declined mentally or physically in over a year since she has been there. As for the activities, [name removed] keeps the residents busy and he does activities with them to stimulate their minds, but my mom doesn't always participate.

Our family would definitely recommend Truewood by Merrill Georgetown-because it is a smaller facility and it has a family feel. The common areas are bright and inviting and the dining hall has the feel of a nicer restaurant. The staff treats each resident with dignity and every day there are a variety of activities to participate in. My Dad has had several medical emergencies and the staff was in constant communication with us and extremely helpful.

First the reception and greetings received as we were joining the community was great. We are very pleased with our decision. The facility is brand new with modern kitchen appliances including the washer/dryer combination in the apartment. Staff has been very helpful as we settled in after moving. We found the food and service to be of high standards. The variety of entrees and desserts are extensive and the everyday fining menu provides a variety of choices. Rooms are quiet and the HVAC works well and provides consistent comfort. The atmosphere is very peaceful with a feeling of relaxation. A variety of activities are available that permits a blending of the neighborhood based on personal interests. Quality cable tv and Wi-Fi are provided and provides great entertainment. The Independent Living is truly independent and encourages a feeling of neighborhood.

After exploring numerous retirement communities, Truewood stood out as the most welcoming and affordable option in Seattle. [name removed] exceptional dedication shines through her ability to cultivate meaningful relationships with residents, support staff members, and offer valuable insights during tours. Her warmth and expertise instilled in me the assurance that my grandmother would receive top-notch care and comfort at Truewood. I wholeheartedly endorse Truewood by Merrill, First Hill to anyone seeking a supportive community for themselves or a loved one.

Staff has always shown kindness, patience and care. Super accountable in all matters.

I moved my sister and husband there. The signup and move in activities went smoothly. Helpful all around, including maintenance staff in connecting Internet and TV. At first dinner a couple of residents volunteered they had moved from another residence and were much happier.

Staff is very friendly and care a lot about the residence. My mother fits in well there as everyone is friendly. The value is rated a 4 due to the 8% increase on the first year anniversary, that was harsh.

I had a great experience with Merrill Gardens before my dad decided to move he was in two places that weren’t mentally healthy or social. He loved the atmosphere and people off the bat. There are still many things yet to come with Merrill Gardens and the area surrounding it. I love the grounds and their historical background. The people there are wonderful, although I do know seniors can get a bit grumpy. To be honest if I could move in today at 40 I definitely would but I have to wait another dang 22 years and hopefully Merrill Gardens being a family owed and operated and focused they will still be great when I come of age.

It's all about the leadership. Shane runs the place and he is so full of love for everyone, residents, staff and families. It's rare to fine someone this gentle, caring, and thoughtful. That transcends your all the staff, who work hard, sometimes to exhaustion, to help one another and the residents. I've never seen or heard an unkind or thoughtless word or deed. I can only hope to find such a place when it's my time to choose.

My loved one was a resident at Merrill Gardens at Rolling Hills Estates in Memory Care. The staff on the Memory Care floor were exceptional! Everything about the experience was great. I do have one suggestion: that the office staff be more knowledgeable about the tiers of service and how much things cost/how they are calculated.

Merrill gardens and the staff at Willow Glen are the perfect fit for my mother and I'm very satisfied.

The place is great! We are so grateful for Merrill Gardens at West Chester. It's absolutely the best place for my father. The staff and GM are unbelievable, attuned to my Father's Day, his comings and goings and are so kind. I was looking for a facility where he could age in place and we found it. I enthusiastically recommend it but most importantly the biggest critic, my dad, gives MG a big thumbs up. Before MG my father was at a huge senior community which no longer worked for him. I wish I would have known about MG earlier. If you're looking for a senior living place for a loved one, make sure you visit Merrill Gardens at West Chester.

I would recommend this facility to others. Friendly and attentive staff. Move in smooth. Keep in touch with family. Food good, but not gourmet. But can order whatever they want. Plus can pre order and eat in room. Always clean. Hubby bed made daily and helps with shower. Laundry done. Pub parties often and fun. I join often. Nurses come often to room and redress wounds. Lots of daily activities. They just had rate increase, but still less than most other places I have seen.
