This place is awesome. The apts are nice size, full kitchen. The place is clean and very well kept.people are nice, lots of activities. This is the best place so far. I can see my parents being very comfortable there. I wish it were closer to my house but it would be worth the 50 minute drive to me to have my parents in such a nice place. Also, it is affordable. They offer lots of transportation for shopping, doctors, etc. doctors are close by which is also nice. Everything was perfect about it.

The Director was helpful with information but didn't seem like she was really "selling" the place. Everything was spacious and the layout was simple. All common areas on one floor. No confusing floor plans and hallways. The rooms were very spacious, stacker w/d in 1brm units. Transportaion is provided to residents for Sunday services. Meds can be set up by us and mom take them on her own. Walk in showers in 1 bdrm; glass doors on studio shower. 4brnr stoves in studio and bdrm.levels of care in 30 pt increments;heat is run by heat pump;meals served all day between 7am/7pm; concierge can run mom somewhere for min cost; there is a button to push every AM for residents to "check in"

This is virtually on the way to Atria Willow Glen, so trying to get there on the same trip! When I got there the Director was on vacation for another week, so someone else took me on the tour. Her assistant is very knowledgeable, love her to death -- really nice gal. If the price is right, this would definitely be a winner. The units have a full-size stove and refrigerator. People like to bake, she says, so why now, these people should be able to enjoy their retirement !! her words!

Social Interaction is so important

My parents love it at Merrill Gardens. There apartment is a one bedroom with a huge balcony. The people are so friendly and they have really fit in faster than expected. My dad plays chair volleyball 4 times per week. Both mom and dad get PT and OT several times a week. They also have their meds distributed to them daily. The food is great and the parties are always fun!! The last party was a Mardi Gras party. They are socializing more than they have in years. My brothers and I are thrilled and relieved!
