Merrill Gardens

From the first time Mom and I walked into Mission Ridge there have only positive experiences. [name removed] made us feel very welcome and provided all the information we needed to make the decision to move Mom into independent living at Mission Ridge. All the staff have lived up to the high bar that was set the first day. They call her by name and have made her move transition so easy. Any questions we’ve had have been answered in a timely manner and staff going the extra mile has been the norm! We’re so thankful to have Mom living in a safe and happy environment.

The unique location of this senior facility superior to its competition. The park offers opportunities for meaningful exploration while exercising, and its evolving seasons keeps it always fresh. The neighborhood around the facility offers abundant shops and curiosities within walking distance. The Merrill Gardens facility itself also makes it an excellent place to live. The place is actually small enough (not much over 100 residents) that all its residents can get to know each other . The organized activities are various and plentiful. There is a fine movie series, many outings, and lots of arts, equipment, and games available (like Jeopardy.) There seens to be a willingness on the part of the staff to encourage suggestions for new things. I looked at the competirion and have no doubt I chose the best place.

The entire staff is friendly and make an effort to get to know all the residents. The administrators are very quick to ask questions if anything comes up, and are very responsive to any concerns we have.

I would rate each category as a 5. The staff was friendly, the food was good and they took good care of my sisters. Yes, we would recommend Sunshine Villa to other families based on the experience so far.

The staff was very helpful from the front desk, intake staff and nurse. Certainly there is paperwork and an assessment but all went smoothly. Once moved in the residents welcomed my mother in law into the community. She also likes the menu so she can choose what she would like to eat that day. She especially likes the salmon dinner. The caregivers have been very helpful walking her to the dining room as she was getting acquainted with where everything is located. Highly recommend Merrill Gardens.

I would absolutely recommend Murano. Living here feels like staying in a boutique hotel elegant and welcoming! While there have been a few small glitches, the staff consistently go above and beyond, which more than makes up for it.

It is great to be close to baseball field and other restaurants within walking distance. My mom is an active 90 year old that likes to walk the park. And we walk up to baseball game and publico restaurant. Active community

[name removed] greets and helps everyone professionally at the front desk. Can handle many at once when it would probably not be possible for others to do so well along with handling the phone calls coming in.

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.

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 staff was very supportive and professional under [name removed] and [name removed] supervision.

Truewood by Merrill is an amazing place. Lots of activities you can stay busy from 7:30am until 6pm at night. [name removed] is the Activity Director and she is fantastic. Food is good overseen by [name removed]. All the staff are wonderful and very accommodating and helpful.

The staff were fabulous. The food is not great, but I highly recommend. My brother really did not participate in the group activities, so I don't have any feedback on that. His room was nice...studio but with a separate sleeping area. Kitchen was a bit small for his needs...decided to add a table for his back prep. Again... cannot say enough about the staff - they are fabulous.

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.

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

Good food restaurant thats open 7am to 7pm two special meals every day. Staff very helpful pretty good activities schedule.

Yes, I would recommend this facility. Very nice/new place, clean, lots of activities for seniors, nice staff, location is great. Restaurant is well staffed and food is good.

I move my dad into Truewood a couple of weeks ago. I have had an excellent experience with them so far! Staff is very friendly, activities director [name removed] is wonderful and engaged. Nice outdoor patio and very clean.

It is a first class place. It's new and clean. The staff are so nice and friendly. Dining is really nice with a restaurant grade menu.

All facilities have there issues but for what I pay these issues should be minimal. I also employ a private caregiver to visit 2-3 times a week. It's a beautiful facility and the staff is just wonderful! They have outings , outdoor parties, Olympics , daily activities, beauty/ hair care. But only a select few can take advantage!
