Merrill Gardens

It’s so expensive, but it’s worth – when it’s your mom – it’s important to know that it’s very good care. I’m really happy with them! It’s really great. They offer a lot of fun things! I’m just really happy there. The food is great! We go as guests and it feels like we’re going to a restaurant. It was delicious food.

Willow Park is a beautiful place. Most important, it provides the highest level of assisted living care and also it has a memory care section. We needed both these options because my mother-in-law has dementia and my father-in-law is 90 years old and needs assistance. The first person you are going to meet is Mary Smith-Hall. She is the Community Relations Manager, the face of the company. She is a wonderful, caring, intelligent and classy lady. Only she knows how difficult was our situation! She worked tirelessly and very professionally to meet our needs, achieve our goals and walk us through the transition. I highly recommend Willow Park!

The Legacy was beautiful. The floor plan we would be interested wasn't currently available and probably won't be for a while. The Legacy will be the standard to use going forward. Thank you for setting up the appointment.

I have just been thrilled with them. Everyone is so nice, and attentive to my mom. It's very clean, and we are so happy with them. They have done everything they said they would. They have done a great job.

This is a beautiful place with a wonderful staff. The atmosphere is respectful of my Dad as well as his family. Very caring people who keep my Dad busy, healthy, happy. There's always lots of family members visiting. It's a family atmosphere, not a clinical place. The doctor and dentist come right to the facility too.

They are a very clean community. The staff is so friendly. The pricing is all inclusive and very reasonable, it's one of the main reasons, we chose them. They have lots of activities, mom would like to see more bingo. The laundry service is something we have had a little problem with, I would give them a three on that. They are really good about listening. My mom is not happy with the food, I thought it was going to be good, and they are changing the menu starting in June, they have listened to the residents, and are making changes. The food is served hot, but it's the taste and variety of options. She has made some of the best friends that will check on her if she doesn't show up for bingo.

My loved one was only in the assisted living for a short time before she went to the hospital. She was living in Independent living Plus and we were very happy with her there. They have companions who are there from 7 am until 7pm. The food was average. It is very close to us!

I think it’s a fantastic community in a wonder setting and that everyone we encountered was terrific, professional , and caring. The food is good. There are two areas for residents to be outside. One has a lovely view of Lake Washington and downtown Seattle. There is also a garden seating area. There is also a downstairs seating area. It’s a very short walk to down Kirkland. More like a home.

I'd rate them 5s across the board, I was very impressed with what I saw here when I visited. So far we've been very pleased with the staff and the care that they provide, and the facility itself is well looked after and always clean.

We toured one of the cottages on a Sunday. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful, taking time to answer all of our questions and making us feel accepted and welcome. The cottage was lovely and a place we would enjoy living in for years to come. We would feel safe and secure in this gated community. We also like the various options for meals, such as the meal tickets that we could use whenever we wish. The location is a plus. The landscaping was exceptionally nice and we will enjoy having this maintained for us. All in all we were very favorably impressed and would enjoy living in this community.

Excellent!! Choice of shared or private room. Room cost appealing but add-on costs are concerning. Location is very good.

I'm just very grateful for them. My loved one was going through a difficult time, and they are just doing beautifully with him! They keep him busy by doing activities that are appropriate for him and his age. Also, the facility itself is beautiful. The place is new and it has big tall ceilings, and it's fresh and simple. Even the colors are nice!

Our experience with Village Place was handled with great care my dad's time was to short, but they helped me with everything and I was from out of state, I paid $2200. + 600. for special care with Alzhiemers great price for the area.

Everything here has been great so far! My loved one is really enjoying her time here! She hasn't complained once, which is a good sign! I couldn't have picked a better place for my loved one. After being here for a little while, she has become more of my mom than she has been in years. The staff has been wonderful, and then call me when I need to be called. So far, so great!

This is my first choice for my dad. Love the neighborhoods concept.

Nice tour! The staff was friendly and polite. Joseph showed exceptional people skills with me and my daughter Jennifer. Every question was answered to our satisfaction. I hope and pray that my parents will be able to move there, if it is God's will. When I spoke with Mom after the tour she reminded me that their biggest obstacle is still financial. She said it's imperative they stay on budget, and if Fig Garden will work with them, they'll strongly consider making it their new home. I appreciate all your help, especially your willingness to consider how important fiscal responsibility is to my parents.

I had just hit the submit button after entering my name and phone number in the request for information to A Place for Mom when the phone rang. My advisor was instantly so helpful and understanding. I can't say enough good stuff about them. They led me to Fig Garden in Fresno for my brother-in-law. We needed a place within a few weeks that would be affordable, clean, close to friends and family and provide for his needs. They did all that. The Fig Garden representative sent me an email with all the information I needed that same day. They called and let me know they had space available right away. He checked in this month and is very pleased with his apartment, the neighborhood, the managers, the helpful, friendly staff and the services they offer. They helped get him set up. He's met lots of people already. Life is good for him. Thanks to both A Place for Mom and Fig Garden for putting our minds at ease. He is thrilled that his meals are taken care of. They also provide sheets and towels and launder them for him. He is close enough to be able to walk to a few stores. The managers have stopped by to see what help they can provide and how he's doing. Thanks to all!

I love it here. The food is good. The apartment is light and cheery. The people are nice, both the residents and the staff. They have a system where some people are lookouts for the newer residents, where someone takes you under their wing and shows you around. I really like that.

This is a wonderful community. My parents are enjoying their apartment and the events that they have attended. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

Faerland at Merrill has been a most pleasant surprise. Having cared for several family members for the past 15 years, I feel I have had lots of experience assessing various assisted living facilities. I have taken care of both a great aunt and my mother. During this time, I have had first hand experience with at least 6 homes. Faerland was a pleasant surprise; find a facility of this quality at a good price was great. All categories listed above are 5 star. Every caregiver and every employee is exceptional. They are dedicated, insightful, and hardworking as well as always friendly and courteous. They actually do make a care plan specific to the needs of the resident, and they keep to and follow up with the plan. Management is open and responsive. I visit very frequently so I know how residents are treated and cared for each day.
