They Do A Nice Job
reviewed on: 10/16/2013 by Family MemberIt's very clean and the staff is very friendly. I think you probably get as much or more value there for your dollar. There are a lot of amenities and little things that they do that you might not find other places. It's expensive, but not any more than other places. They have things like cloth napkins on the table and a dining room where you can eat at any time. They do a lot with entertainment. The keeping you busy with happy hours and shows of different kinds. They do a nice job. They've had recently, a change of management and there was a gap there were you had temporaries filling in and people doing two jobs. The management seems to be good now but there was a period of time there where it was uncertain. It's better now.
Our experience at Merrill Garden
reviewed on: 11/21/2013 by Lynn A.For anyone considering any assisted living arrangement or facility, be VERY specific about your expectations and get in writing, what the costs are for each and every item. I am as much to blame as they are after being convinced that I told them that my mother bathes daily, and that the fee was one thing, when, upon moving in, I was informed that the only bath the residents 2 times a week for that low price! Our costs increased by $600/month because I didn't get it in writing. As for since Mom has moved in, the staff is awesome, and it's tenants have got to be some of the nicest, most accepting and interactive people we've been blessed to have met.
A Superior Senior Community
reviewed on: 04/29/2018 by JjkwaveMy 95-year-old mom has lived at Merrill Gardens for almost two years. She loves the accommodations, food, and activities and has made many friends. I love the super caring and professional staff who treat my mom like family.
