Merrill Gardens

They have been very welcoming and kind. They gave us a very clear tour and explanation of things when we were checking them out. They have been incredibly helpful. The entire experience with The Bedford has been really good and I would highly recommend them.

A really nice facility with everything you could want

My mother loves her apartment in this retirement/assisted living community. The nurses, dining staff, activities are wonderful. She knew from the moment she walked in this is where she wanted to be,

My Mom has loved being at The Bedford. She is treated with respect, courtesy, and affection. There are many programs and events to choose from, including cerebral, physical, and fun to keep an individual's interests active. She has made friends and met wonderful people here. The meals are always tasty and she enjoys that she isn't assigned to one seat at one table but can sit anywhere she likes with different people, or sit at a different table altogether when a family member visits. The Bedford is clean, friendly, accommodating, and is a perfect solution for her senior years.

It's very well kept. The staff is exceptionally friendly. It's a very nice place, its beautiful. The food has been very good. Everyone from the maintenance to the front desk have been very responsive. The activities help them really thrive. Sometimes trying to figure out the parking can be a little bit of challenge. I have even recommended a friend check this out for their parents.

My mother was a resident at the Legacy at Georgetown, and I can't say enough good things--they bent over backwards to keep her engaged and happy, the accommodations were consistently well maintained, meals were served beautifully and activities were well designed. Communication with us was excellent and medical staff was attentive. Staff was always helpful and cheery, and clearly loved what they were doing. It gave us tremendous peace of mind to know she was there. My thanks to all!

This is a nice place but my mom needed more care than we estimated, so they didn't have anyone on back shift to help at night when things got bad. I felt the staff that was there was fine and very helpful, but this definitely not a nursing home type place. We wanted mom in a nice place but didn't realize her health would decline as quickly as it did and they just weren't prepared for that type of resident.

We were very impressed with this facility. It was very clean with no unpleasant odors; the staff was friendly and very helpful; and the residents appeared to be happy and well cared for. There were groups visiting; playing cards; watching a movie and one resident was playing the piano. It was a very warm & welcoming environment.

Merrill Gardens Campbell would have been an ideal selection had there been a private room available. The facility, gardens and services were all new, clean and friendly.

Merrill Gardens at Santa Maria is a great place, I'd give them top marks across the board! The staff is fantastic, the food is good, and all of the people who live here are friendly. The facility itself is beautiful, clean, and well kept, and they take great care of the residents. I'd highly recommend them!

They were very helpful and always available, since I live out of state, to help make sure mom is taken care of. Any time I had any questions they were quick to answer. Mom is in a much better mental state now since being at Merrill Gardens at Santa Maria. I am very thankful for them and would highly recommend them.

I can't say enough about this wonderful community. Moving to Florida from NY for my 89 year old mother was truly a life changing experience and a challenge. I waited 2 months to write this review so that I could accurately evaluate mom's happiness. Well to sum it up she tells everyone "I'm comfortable here" and I think that speaks volumes. There are numerous activities to participate in exercise ,crafts, movie nights and trips to theater,church and stores. Everyone from staff to residents is friendly and welcoming. The rooms and common areas are spacious, clean and renovations are always going on. Barkley Place is a excellent value, providing a home-like setting and most of all peace of mind for family members. There is wait-list for a good reason.

When searching for a home for our mother, where we knew she would be taken good care of, we weren't having much luck. That was the situation until we took a tour of The Pines of Newmarket. It has been approximately four years now and not only has our mother had the greatest care, her overall health and attitude improved. She is very happy there, has several friends and gets the best of care. We feel secure in knowing she is being well taken care of. The staff and caregivers are wonderful and keep us informed of her status whenever necessary. I would highly recommend the Pines to anyone looking for that perfect place.

My mother has been at the Pines for 5 years now. Her overall health was good when she moved in, and as expected has declined over the years. The Pines has offered her the ability to live a fullfilling and happy life throughout this entire period. They offer levels of activities and care that have fitted her needs and desires. Not too big, not too small - just right. We have seen a lot of staff over the years, and are very pleased with the sincere caring she gets. They do a good job of selecting staff. And the kitchen caters to the direct needs of each resident. Management reaches out to the family and is readily available. It is our intention to have our mother stay there for the remainder of her life. The Pines is now her home and is a wonderful place to live out her live.

Courtyards at Berne Village is the right place for me. Everyone is welcoming & friend. It is much like a very large family that you have come home to. There are a number of activities & suggestions are always welcome. The grounds are beautiful. Personally, I love it here!

Everything is good. I don't have any concerns, I would rate them very highly. Everything is very clean, and the staff is friendly. The food is good. There really isn't anything that needs to be improved or done better.

We went to visit this community looking for a place to place my Mom. The Director was very nice and had a nice tour set for us. We were able to see the different types of rooms offered which were very nicely done up. They even have a pool here! They whole community was very well upkept and put together very nicely!

We have been very pleased with Legacy at Bear Creek in Keller. They have a good staff to client ratio and the staff is very caring and friendly both to clients and family. We have found that they seem to be very medically trained in the area of memory care. We are glad that we chose this community for our Mom.

I don't yet have enough experience with them on care services to rate them on this. I especially like the food. The food is amazing. We go and eat there with Mom, because the food is that good. The dining is open from 7 AM to 7 PM. The kitchen staff remember peoples' names, and do special things for them. My mother is in independent living but there are other levels of care in the building. The physical building is excellent. She has a high ceiling. The kitchen has grainte, and a view of the rose garden. You can't hear people upstairs. There are nice paintings on the walls. This is the best place we looked at, in several states. There are some gaps at the management level. For instance, there was a switch in cable service to the building. The cable TV was out in the building for a month. They kept giving people dates, like next week, that aren't real. Older people go nuts without TV. It wasn't well organized. The person who staffs the front desk isn't the most cooperative. Overall, for the money, this is the best.

Tour on Wednesday September 3 Received all important documents. Excellent community and staff. On my list for consideration. Visiting other recommended facilities over the next three months, will evaluate top three considerations.
