  As the owner of ComForCare Home Care San Diego & La Jolla, I have had the pleasure of visiting Merrill Gardens at Bankers Hill on multiple occasions to host resident engagement events including Jeopardy trivia and other fun programming. Every single time, the experience has been warm, welcoming, and well organized. I want to specifically acknowledge Dayna Farris, the Community Relations Director. Dayna is the kind of professional who makes collaboration effortless. She is responsive, genuinely cares about the residents, and goes out of her way to make sure events run smoothly. It is clear she takes real pride in the community she helps lead. Merrill Gardens at Bankers Hill is a beautiful property and the staff reflects the same level of care and attention you see in the building itself. If you are looking for a senior living community in the Bankers Hill area of San Diego that truly prioritizes the wellbeing and engagement of its residents, this is a place worth serious consideration. Hasan Ali, President, ComForCare Home Care San Diego & La Jolla

  My husband and I moved in here six months ago and we’re giving it five stars because we’re so happy with the community. The apartments are very pretty. Everyone is very nice and the food is very good. We love the convenience of the location!!

  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, Jill Johnson, 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. Aaron, the Executive Chef, is very effective and responsive. He ought to receive an award for the spectacular improvements he has made in the menus and the availability of healthy options while preserving traditional "comfort food" options. 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.
