Our family will always be grateful for the care and compassion shown by Merrill Gardens. The facility is beautiful and there are so many fun activities and events for the residents to partake in. After moving from Washington State in 2021 to be closer to us, my mother and father-in-law spent a couple years in the independent living cottages. When my mother-in-law suffered a stroke, we made the transition to the assisted living. The support from the caregivers and staff she received there made an incredibly difficult time much more manageable.
Before my father-in-law passed in December 2025, we were able to bring him back to Merrill Gardens on hospice to one of the memory care units. Although it was a short time before he passed, it allowed my mother-in-law the chance to be close to him and say her goodbyes in a familiar and caring environment. That gift is something we will never forget. The compassion and support shown our entire family during that time was truly a blessing. The staff and community didn't just care for residents, they surrounded us with kindness, empathy and understanding. After losing her husband of 67years, my mother-in-law has been navigating a very difficult new chapter. The way the entire community has rallied around her has made all the difference. Adjusting to this new normal would have been far more challenging without the love and support of Merrill Gardens staff and residents. We are deeply thankful to be part of such a caring community.

I can't tell you how grateful I am that we found Merrill Gardens for my mom! She's now in memory care, and admittedly, we were very reluctant about what the experience might be for mom. But, we have been blown away by the care, the quality of staff, the activities...everything. My mom LOVES it there and we know she's safe and well cared for. š
I moved my parents to Merrill Gardens last July and what a wonderful move it has been! My dad unfortunately passed away in December from advanced Parkinsonās, but my mom is so happy there!! The residents are very happy and friendly and all of the staff wonderful, it feels like a giant family and HOMEā¤ļø. I want to live there when the time comesš

Merrill Gardens has been such a blessing to my mom and our family after several months of my mom residing there. The staff is so friendly and caring and fun! The food is great, the apartments are nice, and the property is beautiful. They have monthly meetings for the residents to give them information on the upcoming month among other things and allow the residents to ask any questions. It truly feels like a partnership and that they care that the residents have the best experience possible. I have been blown away by how wonderful Merrill Gardens is and I am so thankful we found it. I thank the staff for their hard work and dedication each and every day.

Merrill Gardens is a beautiful facility.... impeccably clean, well appointed, with lovely resident apartments / studios. The staff are caring, well-trained and compassionate and make the residents feel at home. My mother lives at Merrill Gardens in an apartment that I visit frequently. They offer wonderful dinning for their residents - inside at the " restaurant like" dining room, or dining events/BBQs out on the patio's overlooking the pool. My mom is in a safe and caring environment. I highly recommend Merrill Gardens to care for your loved ones. Absolutely the Best! Katherine
