  I toured Merrill Gardens at Ballard while researching memory care facilities for my father and his wife. The independent & assisted living community are really lively and very nice, location is great for seniors looking to stay in the city. Memory care is locked down and separate, and though always a bit sad - this one was smaller, cozy and bright and seemed like one of the more cheerful places I toured, staff were very nice. The Community Relations Manager was really helpful, and encouraged multiple visits and talking to other families with loved ones living there. He also offered helpful information about alternatives like smaller family homes and private care and was genuinely helpful . Though my dad ended up staying at home until his passing, this community was at the top of our list, definitely worth checking out.

  Great experience recently assisting a new resident get settled into their new home at @Merrill Gardens at Ballard. Very nicely designed and well equipped with lounge where residents were sitting and enjoying music in the air being played as they sat and enjoyed refreshments, during their afternoon entertainment . The place has a great feel, nice cafe with coffee and treats and beverages for the residents. You also know you’re in a good place by the welcoming and resourceful staff. We were treated well and the facility was very accessible thanks to an amazing team in the front office and From the lead accommodating Marketing Director, Ian Mackenzie who went out of his way to facilitate a very smooth transition into the community for his new resident, and our Moving team @TheWrightMoveInc.Com We were even graciously refreshed with a small tour and intro to this community. Nice to see the amenities and considerable space on hallways for us to move freely about and give great access for residents as well. Classy place with friendly people! And Lots of light in common areas because of the Huge windows inside.
