Very Nice But Not Right For My Dad
reviewed on: 10/17/2013 by DaughterWe looked at this one and I thought it was very nice but my dad didn't like it and he has to live there so that's what matters. It was a Merrill Gardens place.
Great care for dad
reviewed on: 09/19/2017 by AnonymousThis is a good community for my father's care. I like knowing that the community is clean and maintained. The menu is outstanding and we have liked the meals with my father. The activities are offered for him to participate and we hope he will join the other residents and participate. We do recommend this community for the care and good value for other families and their loved ones.
Very Friendly Residents
reviewed on: 04/01/2016 by AnonymousMy father is doing well here at Merrill Gardens. They are doing a great job caring for him. The other community we had him at could not provide the level of care he needed. It looks great and smells good and very well-kept. He is still adjusting and the staff has been very helpful in that. Everyone is kind and friendly. They do offer nice activities for the residents. The residents really like the food. We are happy he is safe and getting the care he needs.

Generally they are pretty attentive to their needs.
reviewed on: 05/23/2014 by Family MemberGenerally they are pretty attentive to their needs. I have brought any concerns up to the manager and they are being addressed. I haven't heard any complaints about the food, and there really isn't anything I would like to see improved or done better.
