My mom really likes it there. The care staff and kitchen staff are friendly and efficient. They keep in touch if there is a fall or incident. The nurse does not appear to interact with individual residents. As the head of nursing, they should be more aware of the individuals under their care.

Had signed lease

I thought the unit should’ve had new faucets and the trim painted. The carpet on the lanai was disgustin and they were replacing it after I asked. We ate dinner at the newbies table; the ambassador told me that the pool closes in the winter, which upset me since I use the pool a lot to exercise. And then a lady burst out with inappropriate comments and I decided that I didn’t belong there. I’d met some other people that were normal and nice.

Overall a great place, happy with our choice

I only have a few complaints after Covid this place has been short of staff. I don't get phone calls that I'm supposed to get them. Mom was in a car accident and Merrill Gardens contacted me a day later, and it was the head nurse who called me the day after "to follow up" not knowing I had no idea mom was in a car accident.The head nurse was shocked that I was not called the day of the accident that was a little upsetting. Also, when Mom has been admitted to the hospital at times, and I didn't know she was in the hospital, but all I knew is she was not answering her phone I would call the front desk looking for Mom at Merrill Gardens.They would say they didn't know where she was and not offer any kind of help except that will try to call me back. When Mom first moved in there, it was great, but I think Covid is really damaged this place. They're going up on their prices doubling tripling. Mom has lost many friends because they had to move into their own apartments not being able to afford the prices. That might be out of their control. I don't know mom's lucky that she has the money to be able to stay there. Also, Mom is reported that they don't offer healthy menu options. It's a lot of spicy food with no other options. Maybe a side dish option high fat, lots of salt and butter. Mom won't leave because of the friends that she has made and at her age she says she doesn't have the energy to move and it's not that bad and she has figured how to cope with some of the shortcomings of Merrill Gardens. She does report that they have great activities that and she seems to be having fun with her friends. I believe that they are just struggling because of Covid they really have the best intentions It is a beautiful facility and all the residents there do seem happy and it doesn't smell bad when I go in there and like I said they have a lot of great activities.

A great choice for us...fabulous staff!

Staff is fabulous. Food not so much. No interaction with admin after intake. Food options are very limited, portions also limited...he supplements with snacks is in his room. (He's not generally a big eater either.) His big complaint is the timing of meals, especially dinner.

Increasing cost

Rate 4 for all except for value..since the cost is increasing 10% each year and nothing is changing for the better I feel it isn't warranted. A lot of money is spent on decorations that are not even appreciated. Other than that it's probably one of the better places in San Diego.

Review for Truewood by Merrill, Charlotte Center

She wasn't there long and kept herself pretty isolated but we found the community to be clean friendly and welcoming. We picked them because of the location.

Our experience with Merrill Gardens at West Chester

The staff had a lot of turnover, some were very good. Especially cooks seemed to turnover a-lot. My Mom complained about a lot of the meals being cold. Activity Directors charged often too.

All-in-all, a nice place to live

All-in-all means that on the surface, everything looks, and is, really nice. It is when you start looking closer that you find little discrepancies. Such as: many areas that need touch-up paint, mold on the ground under an air conditioner by the pool, a lamp post knocked over by a hurricane is still on the ground. My apt is quite nice. But I've talked with other residents whose dish washer has never worked, air conditioning system leaks, some apts don't have microwaves. Nit picking? Maybe. But for what we're paying, things that are unacceptable. Great, dedicated staff. Very adequate and tasty meals.

Merrill Gardens Review

Short staffed all around. They need more variety on the food menu and need to have better-quality foods.
