  Merrill Gardens has been an answered prayer for my mother and our family. We are at peace knowing she is thriving and well-taken care of. She enjoys the friendly and caring staff as well as the fun activities planned each day. It is a wonderful place to be!

  Mom loves living at Merrill Gardens. The activities are fun and plenty, the staff members are so gracious and kind and helpful, the facility is maintained exceptionally well and kept clean for everyone. I would recommend Merrill Gardens for everyone who has a loved one to care for.

  Moving to Merrill Gardens is among the very best decisions I ever made. I toured several facilities but always left feeling underwhelmed. When I entered Merrill Gardens, I said aloud, "This is it." From the moment I stepped into the lobby, there was a buzz of activity among residents in several areas. People were playing cards or board games, having conversations in the living room, putting together puzzles, completing word searches, and reading near the library. There was laughter everywhere. I knew this would be my new home. Perks include a theater, wellness gym, activities room, bistro, outdoor walkways, beautiful landscaping, and a dining room, led by a chef, that is open to residents from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. It is not possible to participate in all the back-to-back daily activities, including painting classes, exercise, yoga, and Tai chi, book club, Red Hat club, Jeopardy, Trivia, gardening, crafts, and guest speakers. Monthly birthday parties and meet-and-greet opportunities, holiday celebrations, and fun competitions are always a hit, and outings to restaurants, shopping, museums, and more are very popular. At Happy Hour every Monday, live entertainment adds to the fun, and performing groups are regularly on the weekly schedule. New residents are welcomed from day one, and genuine, caring, lasting friendships are developed among new and old. Caregivers are attentive and always kind and helpful, and the administrative staff continually asks for feedback from the residents. I cannot say enough about the joy of living at Merrill Gardens. I encourage everyone to check it out before making a senior living decision.

  A fantastic place, all the residents are so kind and welcoming. Every morning they smile and say "Good morning!" The staff is amazing as well! They look out for all the residents and genuinely care about them. They never complain and do their best to accommodate all the different needs. 10/10

  Very pleasant environment. Nice variety of activities for everyone. Dining room open 7-7, with very good food. Quick friendly service. My apartment is very comfortable with weekly cleaning.
