  My Cottage at Merrill Gardens Only in Camelot * Only in Merrill Gardens at Santa Maria ‘’The rain may never fall till after sundown. By eight, the morning fog must disappear. In short, there's simply not A more congenial spot For happily-ever-aftering than here In Camelot ! Kindly read between the lines. Its true here in my cottage at Merrill Gardens. It is cozy, heavenly, and peaceful and at sun down, the soft and gentle breeze touching my face as I walk along the cottages passing the beautiful sunken garden. I feel at home for the Gardens of Elohim as I have tented for many years in my old house is here. Yes It is here ! The garden is in the residential district, a village where people are friendly, and close to one another. It is Camelot just outside the castle, and the administration is as righteous as King Arthur and his knights. The 2 magnificent knights who helped me moved here are Tom and Miles of the Round table. Thank you Miles and Tom and God bless ! The dark sacred night’s sky is full of twinkling stars, By seven, the morning breakfast is ready, Cafeteria is open til seven PM, The time is yours to enjoy, In short, there's simply not A more congenial spot For happily-ever-aftering than here In the Merrill Gardens at Santa Maria. Love thee all, Dr. Napoli Fiatro St. Croix '' True LOVE transcends in time and space ! "''

  I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with Merrill Gardens of Santa Maria. They take wonderful care of my mother! My family and I couldn’t be happier with the level of attentiveness, cleanliness, hospitality, and of course the food! Danny was a huge support in making this happen, and of course Debra! We love Merrill Gardens! It’s just like a hotel!

  Have lived over six years in one of Merrill Gardens cottages and have been totally satisfied with the experience. It has allowed for independent living with a staff, second to none, available to assist when needed.

  I think this place is terrific !My friends parents moved in and they are so happy. The dining room is nice and they serve you like a good resturant(the only thing I will say is the food takes a bit longer than I'd like) other than that it's tasty and you get good portions. everyone seems very friendly,helpful and kind.I like how many activities are offered. I don't see anything negative about this facility. I do not agree with the negative reviews on this page.I've worked in elder care facilities and this place is thumbs up compared to most.
