We came in to tour with Chantelle with no appointment, I am so impressed she welcomed us with open arms and was so nice. I learned more than anticipated, knowing our parents can still be independent and then get care without moving is amazing. The place is beautiful and clean and we met so many happy people. Thank you so much for all of you help you made a difficult time so much easier.

I'm in town on business and stopped by Merrill Gardens to visit my aunt this morning. Not what I was expecting going into a retirement facility. It's bright and light and full of people and activity. They were having a women's tea in their bistro and there must have been 30 people chatting and having a great time. She was excited to introduce me to a bunch of her friends, and it seems like they are happy and thriving.

Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely caring. This is a beautiful community with excellent care, and the staff and residents make it such a fun, welcoming place.
Merrill Gardens has such a welcoming feel every time I visit. The staff is friendly, the building is bright and well cared for, and there’s a genuine sense of comfort throughout the community. You can tell the residents are treated with kindness and respect, and that families feel supported.
A big part of that comes from Stephanie, the general manager. She brings a steady, thoughtful leadership style that shows in everything—from how smoothly the community runs to the positive energy among the staff. She truly cares about creating a place where residents feel at home, and it makes a noticeable difference.
It’s a wonderful community, and one I’d confidently recommend to anyone looking for a warm, well‑run senior living environment.

I recently had the pleasure of participating in the Sherwood Merrill Gardens fundraiser as a local community member, and I walked away incredibly impressed. Not only was the event beautifully organized and focused on raising awareness and support for Alzheimer's, but it also gave me the opportunity to interact with many of the Merrill Gardens team members and observe firsthand the care and compassion they show their residents.
The enthusiasm, positivity, and genuine joy among the staff were unmistakable. It was evident that the residents are not simply cared for, they are truly known, valued, and loved. Great efforts were made to bring our entire community together for a meaningful cause, creating an atmosphere of connection and support that was inspiring to witness.
Sherwood is incredibly fortunate to have a place like Merrill Gardens. Their commitment to serving seniors with dignity, kindness, and heart is something truly special, and I am grateful to have experienced it firsthand.
