Merrill Gardens

We like that it is a newer facility and even though it is independent living here is accountability there with the staff to check on our loved one. They have an automated system so if the residents don't push a button by a certain time in the morning the staff come to check on them. Also our loved one was able to get an ADA apartment that is well suitable for her needs.

This place is awesome!

It is never easy to make the de4cision to place your parents in an Assisted Living. But it is comforting to know my parents are being cared for by people who care about them provide the best care in clean and attractive surrounding.

Awesome place!

Always very helpful and pleasant. Always willing to answer any questions I have.

I just got my dad moved in last month. He loves the community staff is super friendly and he loves the food.

Not ready to move mom. But what a great group of people. Building is really clean. The girl that toured us was fun and could tell she cared. I will be my mom from NY to this community.

Always a kind word from everyone.

All staff very friendly and helpful with and concerns.

I love the apartment and community. People are super nice.

I live here and it is great, everything is good.

Staff is friendly, people are great , food is good.

Unfortunately our loved one was not able to stay there due to her health, but t no fault of the community - Merrill Gardens was absolutely wonderful. We would recommend this community to families in the market, they were wonderful.

This community takes really good care of the residents. The atmosphere is not like I expected assisted living to be. It is a very active community and all of the other residents are very welcoming. The residents have relationships and have lunch together and it was a really positive experience.

One of the things that I love about Murano is because it's a high rise, everything is really easy to access. For my loved one, that type of layout is much easier for her to navigate than long hallways would be. It's beautifully appointed. It feels like a cruise ship that just happens to be on land. They're understaffed a little bit, but the staff are really hard working. It doesn't seem to affect things overall - I just worry about how much the staff seem to take on. The food is excellent. They have a set menu that is very healthy, with lots of options for fruits and vegetables. Everything tastes really fresh. They also have daily specials to keep things changing. So there's predictability, but a newness aspect as well. And they're really able to adapt to specific requests. For instance, if you want a hamburger but you're gluten free, there's no problem with them taking things out or accommodating a request. And they don't just give you a sad little burger on a plate. There's a heap of salad to go with it, and they make it look nice. My loved one seems to be really happy there. She's taking art classes and doing music appreciation. She has attended a few of the lectures as well. It' seems like a good value, and I'm very pleased with it.

This community was nice but it was too big for what we were looking for for our loved ones needs. Everything was spread out and due to our loved one using a walker it would have been harder to get around. The people were very nice and the place looked wonderful I just felt it would be hard for my loved one to get around.

The community is very clean and that was something right away that stood out to us, and the staff members are very friendly. Sometimes our loved one and other residents complain about the food and that it isn't hot enough or that it is bland, but we would still recommend this community to others.

I enjoy everything here from the staff members, to how clean the community is and how well the food is prepared. The value for cost is excellent, I have a studio apartment with a full sized refrigerator, microwave, washer and dryer, a stove and a large patio. They are also a pet friendly community.

We chose Merrill Gardens because the personality of the facility fit my parents well. I noticed that other residents were treated well and staff interacted with everyone. Also the longevity of the residents was something that really stuck out to us, a lot of them have been there 5 plus years which means they are happy. The price is well proportioned to the amenities provided. From what I have seen, they do have a well scheduled activity calendar for the residents, my parents just do not partake. I like that my parents can be independent but have access to things in the community that they may be interested in. I would definitely recommend to others looking.
