  I’m so happy my folks and I found a community that really is welcoming and supportive for them. Everyone in the staff calls my folks by name and when my dad needed hospitalization recently we’ve found that so many of their neighbors check in with my mom all the time. Exercise classes have been great for my folks and it’s nice to be in a vibrant downtown setting. I can’t say enough about all the front desk staff including Leslee and Sandy and Valerie.

  Merrill Gardens Hillsboro is a remarkable place with an extraordinary staff from the front desk, talented caregivers, to the dining room and beyond it is clear everyone cares deeply for the members of this warm and welcoming community! We are so glad our mom chooses to live here!

  Yes, the staff is very friendly. But the thing that amazes me is the friendliness of the residents. From sitting with each on a very random basis that builds relationships to residents simply asking how you are doing.

  Mom and Dad have adjusted really well to their new home at Merrill Gardens. I've been out to visit a handful of times and the apartments are really nice with *lots* of light. The food here is also a highlight, and the staff is friendly--from reception to the dining room. My parents have also made quite a few friends, which is probably one of the harder parts of moving from a long-time neighborhood to a brand new place with brand new people. I feel a lot better knowing they aren't alone taking care of a large yard and that they have the ability to focus on the things they want to do now, rather than have to do. Dad was just mentioning something to this effect over the holidays; it's a relief to them too. I also feel better knowing there is a welcoming and capable staff to watch over them when needed--care in an unobtrusive way. Some independent/assisted living facilities can be a little depressing to visit. This is not one of them. It's bright, cheerful, clean, and welcoming. Thanks for taking care of my parents!
