    My husband and I visited many senior residences in San Diego County several years in advance of our careful decision to choose Merrill Gardens at Bankers Hill "when the time came". It is clear that our grown children are grateful for our leadership in the important adventure that would ultimately include and support them and their children. When friends ask what living in Merrill Gardens is like, after I report the key life-lifting features, they usually nod their heads in understanding when I respond "It's a combination of magical ocean cruise and best-ever summer camp." The success of the Merrill Gardens corporation is based on sound understanding of the importance of balancing expected needs and bonus blessings related to aging. All levels of staff are clearly well-matched to the mission as well as generous in all manner of commitment to meet needs of residents and maintain respectful support to fellow staff members.

    We've been here for 2.5 years and love it. It's a homey and neighborly place. The staff are absolutely wonderful: kind, attentive, and appreciative of each other. The new Senior Manager is a genuine people person, top-notch communicator, and experienced administrator. The common areas have been refreshed and the 4th floor patio is due for a million dollar refresh and extension The food is great and varied. I'm a vegetarian (some fish) and I find it very easy to work with the offerings and menus. The Executive Chef is very effective and responsive. Being blocks away from Balboa Park is great: miles of trails for walking and hiking. The tours and events are first class. The residents are varied but the overall ambience is positive and caring. We've made many friends here and people are generally good humored, honest, and authentic.

    Everyone on staff was helpful. Phyllis Pilgrim made a special request to the kitchen so that we could enjoy tea together. They made it totally possible.

    I have found that the staff are caring and take the time and effort to provide quality care, which is individualized to each resident. The atmosphere is homey and comfortable for family. During the pandemic which has been challenging the staff took special care to make sure that residents were safe and cared for.
