Merrill Gardens

This was most likely my second choice. It is a great community.

I like it here! When I got here, the people were so friendly and made me really want to be here. Overall both the staff and the residents are fantastic. Most of the time I spend in my apartment, but I enjoy going out in the mornings and making a circuit around the building and grounds. Everybody I run into is always saying hello and how are you and are just so kind.

I would highly recommend the community to others for the value and the care attentiveness. The Executive Director seems to be a little lax in getting back to requests from the family. My loved one enjoys the food. The community has activities for the residents to participate in, if they choose to.

I would definitely recommend Merrill Gardens at Madison. It's like a dorm, but for seniors. It's a very active community and that makes it different from other communities.

This was a nice community with a friendly atmosphere. The apartment wasn't on the first floor, like my loved one wanted.

We felt like Truewood was really good quality compared to the others in the community that we saw. The apartment is on the smaller side for us, but that is just because we are used to something bigger. There is a full kitchen that is on the smaller side, but you do not have to cook so we really don't have to use it much anyways. The washer and dryer is in the hallway. The courtyard in the back is absolutely beautiful and very accessible for everybody, we love to take walks there. Most of the staff is extremely pleasant and we have had no issues. I would definitely recommend this facility to others.

I enjoy the comradery of the people here that you do see, they are friendly and nice. I also really enjoy the activities.

Everyone I've come in contact with seems to be very friendly. the only complaint my loved one has made is about the meals. I'm unsure if they've changed the meal service, as far as who's cooking, but my loved one says its not the same as when she first moved in. she sometimes has to sit there for a while before her order is taken and the food is served. I'm, again, unsure how long it actually takes so I'm just speaking from her perspective. aside from that, I would recommend Bay Park to anyone who's looking for a community for their parent or loved one. my mom receives three meals a day and she has people there who make sure she's taking her medication. because of that, her health seems to be improving since she's on a consistent schedule. I'm glad to have my mom in a good place like this.

I highly recommend it. For me, its the location. We are close to my loved one. I like the appearance of it. This place feels like an apartment building. It has a good feel about it.

We chose Truewood by Merrill because of the cleanliness and the nice staff members. The facility itself is very nice and the location is great for me. The room sizes are good. She loved the food in the beginning but now she does complain a lot. They do provide a lot of activities provided and I wish my mom would get more involved and meet some more people. I would recommend to others looking.

Our tour at Truewood Georgetown was really nice. We enjoyed the staff. They were very friendly and professional and did a great job showing the pros and cons of their facility. The biggest factor in our decision was proximity to my house, and we went with another place that was only a few minutes away.

We chose Murano Senior Living because the value is incredible, administrative staff is super friendly, and it is very clean. I think everyone is having a hard time finding quality caregivers, but they are really working on it. Overall the experience has been great and they are willing to listen and are actively trying to improve.

Our family had only had about a month experience so far with Truewood because everything is going great so far. The care services got a 3 out of 5 for now because sometimes when our loved one presses their call light during the night the staff either take a long time to respond or don't respond at all. The meals and dining service according to her were very good in the beginning weeks but now are a little too salty. She did start participating in the balloon volleyball and we do think the activities there are appropriate and adequate for the level of residents they have. The value for cost is very good. Truewood has a small homey community feeling to it.

The only complaint we have had is the air conditioning units in the rooms are very loud. Overall mom is happy, she really likes the other residents and she has made lots of friends. For the most part the food is good, if she does not like what they are serving that day they are able to make her something else. The staff members are all very friendly and the nurse practitioners have all been great. The building is older, but it is well maintained. You cannot beat the price here, we looked at some others and this was definitely the best value for the money. I would definitely recommend them to others who are looking and already have.

They are very friendly here. My loved one is in the Alzheimer unit and he is doing so well that they let him come out and everyone loves when he comes out to interact. My loved one is independent besides his memory. My other loved one is close by and he gets to leave and go have lunch and other things to stay active. My loved one likes to play bingo and balloon volleyball also. The staff always call him by name and speak with him all the time.

We were able to have an in person tour and our experience was very good with the Standiford Place.

Merrill Gardens is having a hard time keeping a steady staff team like we assume a lot of other communities are struggling with, but that has made the meals and dining service a little slower. However, the activities are exceptional, our loved one has so many opportunities to get involved. She loves playing bridge, other card games and bingo. Another huge deal for us is there "free shuttle" service that takes them to and from doctors appointments. Sometimes the residents may have to wait, but it was given us a huge relief and it i very convenient.

We chose Merrill Gardens because it was modern and bright, it is a dog friendly facility, and the overall atmosphere and the location as well for us. She has a very nice 1 room apartment that is large and spacious and she has a large patio off her apartment. The director and the community relations director are very personable and friendly. I would absolutely recommend them to others who are looking.

Overall our family has had a good experience, the people who work there are very friendly, and very accommodating. Our loved one physically is blind so he does need a little more care and they are very attentive to him, they make sure he received his medication on time. His room is kept very clean and the community itself is very clean. Our only minor complaint would be about the food, overall it is pretty good but they do not offer a big variety to choose from so the meals do get old.

We chose Willow Park because it had a separate entrance to the independent living section of the facility and they liked that. It is a nice size, it is fairly small so they have gotten to know all the others residents in the independent living portion. My step-dad he likes the food, if there is something he does not like he can request something specific that they can make. I would recommend to others looking.
