  After searching multiple senior living options, Merrill Gardens was the one! It is such a beautiful, bright and cheerful community and was the right place for my mom. The staff are second to none, everyone is so friendly, informative and helpful from the front desk, activities director, med techs, restaurant staff to the management team. Haley and Tracey in particular made our transition and move-in experience seamless. We are very grateful! It is such a pleasant place for family to visit as well. Mom is very happy in her new home. She moved in three months ago and has made many friends. She is enjoying the meals at the restaurant, the social hours, all the activities from Bingo to painting to yoga and many more. She also loves having the gym on-site for early morning exercises. She said that she is never moving out! 😃 Thank you all at MG!

  Our mom is at MG and loves it. She’s always in the common area being social with who are now all her new friends. They have lots of activities and their friends and family activities are so fun!! They had a Cinco de Mayo party with seriously the best taco guy I’ve ever had with the best homemade chips! We have had a wonderful experience with their staff and families. We love the dog friendly atmosphere as well.

  My dad is on his second week at Merrill Gardens, and he/we could not be happier. Haley Back has basically felt like my best friend for the better part of a year, and has taken care of us and my dad like we are her own family. She met us where we were, and made the process of admission seamless, supportive, and loving. My dad wakes up every day at his new “hotel” feeling safe, excited, and cared for. A special shout out to the head nurse, Lauren, as well. She is kind and smart and available for questions. The front desk staff, kitchen staff, and caregivers all greet my dad with a smile and make him feel at home. I’m so happy we made the move.

  Merrill Gardens is an exceptional independent and assisted living community. My mother, Margie, feels truly privileged to call it home. The staff are outstanding — warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. The accommodations feel like a five-star hotel, yet with all the warmth and comfort of home. Margie’s quote” There are all types of interesting intelligent people here, from all walks of life. The MG residents have been one of the loveliest surprises …getting to know many new friends and working on my social chops at 88, I’m so grateful !” Meals with the girls or if preferred alone in the elegant dining room has become a highlight. The activities are thoughtfully designed to engage independent, discerning residents who love to stay in shape mentally & physically, or just to have fun. Don’t forget to check out the movie theater… Very up-to-date shows & movies, with popcorn and all!! As my mom Margie was being discharged from Torrance Memorial Hospital we were concerned that bringing her home wouldn’t support her “no stairs” requirement. Thank Goodness the Merrill Gardens Community relations director Haley Back was available to hear our story. Haley bent over backwards to host an emergency visit, coordinate a viewing of -Apartment choices & closed the NEW resident deal in 24 hours. Haley works magic & is so dedicated, THE BEST. We know there are many choices in the Southbay for assisted living, but we’re so grateful for the vibrant, supportive personalized experience that Merrill Gardens provides every day.

  We've been looking for a place for my folks. The past month or 2, we've visited quite a few facilities in the South Bay, but not with much luck... but most recently visited Merrill Gardens in Rolling Hills, My folks are both in their mid-eighties and moving from a big home. As we toured the property we noticed how it was very homey and welcoming. It was very clean and tidy. All the staff we interacted with were very friendly. This is important, as this is where they will be living life and interfacing and with the staff on a daily basis. After my mom spoke with a couple of the residents my folks really felt very comfortable there. We have decided to move forward with Merrill Gardens. Also we did our research and everything checked out, the reviews are all good and positive and the other residents had great things to say.
