Merrill Gardens

Sunshine Villa has been a God send for our Mom and whole family!!.. They have been so kind and attentive with all our Moms needs even when it is difficult.. They have a multitude of activities and really good food!!... A HUGE thank you to all employees there!!!!!

Any one who knows my Dad, would think he was an actor in grumpy old men. He has told me that most of the people who help him are really nice. That alone is high praise for The Pines. I can't thank them enough.

Among other facilities I’ve looked at merrill gardens definitely has been one of my top choices! Residents seem very content with their stay and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this facility to others.

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.

Had a wonderful and stress free experience getting my great grandmother into a new home. Both her and I were more than satisfied with the help of the facility members and look forward to this new chapter in her life.

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.

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.

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.

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

My grandmother has been living at the pines for just over a month, and she has settled in well. The Pines feels like home with it's cozy atmosphere. My grandmother has a private room which is spacious and updated. She also has her own bathroom. My grandmother has dementia, and she is well cared for at the pines. The staff are all pleasant and helpful. They ensure she makes it to all of her meals. The facility is a nice size, with just over 50 residents. The design of the building is a connected loop, so residents can't get lost. My grandmother is doing very well at the Pines of Newmarket.

I really can't say enough about Turner's Rock. Initially my parents were in the assisted living section and after my mother passed away my dad had to move to the independent living side. The staff made sure that the transition was made as easy as possible and we so appreciated that. My dad is very happy there and we are so glad they made the decision to make it their home. I am not sure we would have considered Turners Rock as an option with your organisation's recommendations and I want to thank you for that.

My wife and I have owned nice homes for 54 years of married life and never considered a change in our living situation until my wife was diagnose with dementia which quickly advanced to late-stage dementia. I did not want to place her in memory care, but felt I could not provide the support and care she deserved. After looking at many options I felt Mission Ridge would best fit her needs and I could be in an independent living apartment near her. We felt better about our decision to leave our lovely home in Eugene, OR after seeing the positive environment offered at Mission Ridge. Since our move here, I have been most impressed with the cleanliness, positive staff at all levels, personable general manager, and excellent food. My expectations have been exceeded at all levels. Although my wife and I have only been here for a short time, I am most happy we decided to move to the Springfield Mission Ridge.

Truewood is in a great location with ample parking. We like the cleanliness, and that it is well organized. The location is accommodating for visits.

My friend chose this community because she liked the style and location. And just the overall feel of being there. It doesn't feel like an "old folks home." (Her words) She is doing great and enjoying her life at Turners Rock.

Merrill Gardens has been more than we could have ever imagined for my mom's new forever home . My mother didn’t want to sell her home and move from California , but she had given up her drivers license a couple of years ago , her circle of friends , due do their age was growing smaller and all of her children lived in Washington now . I secretly met with [name removed] on multiple occasions, expressing my concerns with telling my mom about Merrill gardens . I had toured four other homes and kept coming back . [name removed] was patience and kind , even offering his phone number should I have any questions . Once I finally took my mom on her first tour , my third she surprised me and signed a lease that same day! She’s been there about six weeks and is loving meeting new people , has access to transportation for events , doctors appointments, church , shopping and so much more . She no longer feels alone . I’m happy that not only [name removed] but the entire staff is like an extended family , genuine and warm.

[name removed] was very personable and friendly during the tour of Turner's Rock. The facility seemed very clean and the residents seemed engaged in the activities they were involved in. It seems to be a lovely place for a loved one to live. I am unable to review care services and meals and dining for I did not have an experience with those two areas. The dining room is beautiful.

What we like the most about Turners Rock and we would recommend them to other families - 1. Flexible times for visiting. Convenient location. 2. Dad likes the dining 3. He likes to be independent. At 98, this sometimes gets precarious. 4. Activities are suited for him. bingo & exercise.

Having to find a memory facility for my husband was very difficult. I visited many places. I am so grateful for having been referred to Truewood by A Place For Mom. I can say that Truewood has become not only my husband’s community but mine as well. What makes Truewood the safe happy place it is,is clearly reflected in the caring nature of the staff. Many of the staff have been with Truewood for years. I think that is a reflection of the overall company. If I could have cared for my husband at home I would have. Since I couldn’t, I thank God I found Truewood.

I’ve found a place that feels like home. The rooms are spacious and the staff is very nice and accommodating. This is a place where I can enjoy my life. Keep busy with activities and be happy. The staff here enjoy working here.

A 3 year old facility with light bright decor . Very attractive dining room Though they don't normally do respite care I was in a studio apartment recovering from hip surgery. I left after 6 weeks and came back to my home. I will let others know that you must bring your own furniture.
