  I'm a single man & enjoy the carefree retirement lifestyle at Barkley Place. They provide 3 meals a day, weekly housekeeping including changing my sheets; and activities I enjoy like card games & dominoes. The location is great - just a short bike ride each morning to the local YMCA for group exercise classes with friends. I no longer have to do yard work or worry about condo maintenance & repair. No HOA fees!

  I’ve lived here for approximately three years, and I can honestly say there has never been a day that wasn’t filled with smiles, kindness, and good cheer. Merrill truly feels like one big family. Every member of the staff is gracious, welcoming, and always willing to help. No matter what you need, someone is there with a smile and a solution—whether it’s in the dining room, at the front desk, on the maintenance team, housekeeping, or our caring leadership staff. Their dedication to the residents is evident every single day. It’s not just the staff who make Merrill special. The residents have created a wonderful sense of community. The friendships, camaraderie, and many social activities make living here both rewarding and fun. I also think it’s important to recognize how well this community is maintained. The building is clean, beautiful, and continually updated. It is safe and secure, providing peace of mind during hurricanes and other outside events. I am truly grateful to call Merrill my home and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, caring, and vibrant community. Ruth Scott

  I’ve enjoyed living in Barkley Place for over 4 years. The staff is friendly, caring and willing to help when needed while still respecting resident’s independence. If needed, the maintenance team is very responsive and handle requests promptly. I also appreciate the daily opportunities to socialize through activities and events with no pressure to participate if I just want to relax. Overall, it’s a quiet, comfortable place with a welcoming atmosphere that makes it feel like home.
