Community Reviews
A very nice place!
reviewed on: 02/27/2017 by AnonymousWhen I toured the Merrill Gardens at Tacoma, I noticed that the place was very nice and so were the people. When I got there for my tour, the tour guide was on time and had a lot of information for me. The place was a good choice, but we picked another community that we thought would for my mother's needs better.
My mom is bored out of her gourd
reviewed on: 12/07/2017 by AnonymousEveryone at this facility has been very nice thus far. My Mother is so much happier here. The facility has lovely accommodations and they even allow her to have her dog. However, she has complained about a few things she doesn’t like. She says that they need a lot more busy activities and she is bored out of her gourd. I’ve heard her say that most of the time the residents just play bingo and watch TV which isn’t much fun. My mom is blind and there have been a few instances where she has tried to get the attention of the wait staff in the dining room and they didn’t pay attention so she didn’t get served for that meal. The other thing is that she is living on the 3rd floor. She does have her dog with her and it’s really hard for her to get down the hall, on the elevator and outside with her dog. My mom is currently waiting for a room on the 1st floor. I would recommend this facility to other families.
Tour of independent living cottages
reviewed on: 04/16/2014 by Donna and NormaWe toured one of the cottages on a Sunday. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful, taking time to answer all of our questions and making us feel accepted and welcome. The cottage was lovely and a place we would enjoy living in for years to come. We would feel safe and secure in this gated community. We also like the various options for meals, such as the meal tickets that we could use whenever we wish. The location is a plus. The landscaping was exceptionally nice and we will enjoy having this maintained for us. All in all we were very favorably impressed and would enjoy living in this community.

reviewed on: 12/27/2012 by A Place For Mom CustomerThe 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"
Overall good, but front desk staff terrible
reviewed on: 09/16/2021 by AGood housekeeping, & good food. Front desk staff are rude and unhelpful. They can help with meds but not insulin so they don’t really provide diabetic care.
