Merrill Gardens

The community is very lovely, they have nice quality furniture throughout and very nice art work. Nothing is cheap or cheesy - for example they have real flowers and not plastic ones. There are plenty of activities to participate in, and even though it is a little expensive it is worth it and we would recommend to others.

Our loved one absolutely loves it there, she says the food is good and has a nice variety. She is really enjoying the activities especially when they take trips. The staff members are super nice and a big deal for us and her is that on the weekends family members can stay over night and visit.

I have been here six months and am pleased with the facility and staff. The house keepers and dining servers are excellent and hard workers. My apartment is comfortable and I am happy with it. I appreciate the work [name removed] did in the apts so I could put the best me for me. I have made many great friends in this facility.

I love this place, it is so nice here.

The staff has really helped with my adjustment. Their hard work really pays off!!!

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.
