Merrill Gardens

My mother and I toured this residence, and found it to be very nice. The apartments are large and cheerful, the staff and residents are welcoming and personable, and all in all, we were impressed. The only thing we didn't like, compared to the other facilities that had pools, is that this pool is not screened in, which would be advantageous. Other than that, we really liked it, and the waiting list is evident we're not the only ones.

Lovely new apartments and definitely has the beat of the local Rockridge neighborhood. Also the community members appear to be varied and engaged. Definitely not the typical suburban, cookie-cutter senior facility. Was quite refreshing compared with so many of the other places we have seen. Also like the idea that all the units are independent living and the assisted care is added in, so assisted living residents are not separated from everyone else.

My mother has recently moved into this community and she could not be happier with how things are going. [Removed] has been excellent to work with and the overall staff have been very helpful with the transition. She is loving the meals and enjoys the social environment at the dinning experience. My mom has also fully engaged her self in all of the great activities like the book club and movies. She has been going on all of the outings and makes sure to catch the shuttle to her doctors appointments. Overall we could have not picked a better place for her and I would defiantly recommend it to anyone.

I have no complaints of how things went for my loved one and I during our tour of this community. The staff where on time to our appointment and made sure to answer any questions we had for them in detail. I was impressed with the presentation they had and how professional they where throughout our visit. It was just not the right location for my loved one in the end decision but I would recommend it to anyone.

Mom is doing fine since moving here. She seems to be well adjusted however I would like her to be doing more of the activities than what she is currently doing. The community has a piano that the residents can play or sit by the fireplace and listen to someone else play. The staff is wonderful very engaged with the residents and the families. The community is kept very clean and well maintained. They have different areas around the building to sit and visit with family or friends or just the other residents. Mom said the food is ok it could be better.

This is a brand new community so everything is new and clean. The staff is doing their best trying to get everything settled for all the inconveniences and issues that are occurring with the residents and the families. The communication with the staff and families could be a little better but I expect that will improve once everyone gets settled. The food is wonderful.

Relatively new and bright. [Removed] was a very pleasant host. We liked everything we saw and heard. Prices are comparable to the others. Location is good for us. I would rate it an 8.

For the most part, everything is going just fine! Our only issue is that, since it is a new facility, the staff are still in the process of finding ways to become more efficient, but this is to be expected. It's been a bit of a bumpy road so far, but the experience has been good.

I like the care at this community for the great care that is being received. The community is clean and well maintained. They offer alot of activites that she likes to sometimes participate with the other residents. The atmosphere is nice and we would recommend this community for the care and families should tour the commuity for the cost of the care for a loved one.

They are a new community and they did not have a lot of things there. It was a rough start when they were opening during our first week of having my mom moved in. While my mom is getting adequate care, sometimes their staff are untrained and they are not coordinating together. I also see they don't have enough activities. Most of the staff are pretty good for the most part. The meals are so great, it is the best part.

Since I moved into the community and became a resident, everything has been fine for me.

We loved the modern atmosphere! Being a newer community we are very happy with how it's all come together. The vibe here was very welcoming and comforting for my loved ones! The dining experience is a work in progress but steadily improving while the Head Chef out on a medical leave. I would recommend taking a look to see if it meets the needs of your loved ones. I have aleady personally made some recommendations to friends!

I had a wonderful experience at this community with my tour for my loved one. The staff where on time to our appointment and made sure to accommodate our needs as best as possible. The property was very well maintained with lots of great amenities available to the residents. It was a little too big of a facility for my mothers liking.

I toured Merril Gardens prior to making a decision, and it was a nice place. The facility was in good shape and the people there were very friendly. It all came down to location, and also the food was not that great there.

The people we met when we visited this community were nice. The community was clean and it seemed like a good value. I would recommend taking a look at this community

This is a lovely community, and my father is doing very well with his move here. I'am pleased with all they have done for my family. All is well for us at this community.

I toured about nine locations before I chose this location. I made up a matrix and scored each with their program , location , price, meals, fitness, and size of the apartment.

When we walked into this community we knew it was not the right fit for our loved one. The people we met were nice and the community looked clean. This community did not seem to have the homey atmosphere we were looking for. This community reminded us of a hotel.

The lady that gave us the tour at Sheldon Park was very nice. She even followed up with us after my loved one was placed in another home to find out how things were going and if there was any way they could still help. It was a good tour and a nice facility.

I was satisfied with my mother's respite stay experience here at this community. It is a really nice community, and everything went well. This is a nice facility with kind people. The staff was good with their communication. They were also accommodating, and kind. Everything worked out well, and this is a community I would recommend.
