Merrill Gardens

My mother recently moved to Mission Ridge memory care from an assisted living facility. The transition was seamless as she was welcomed with love and acceptance. She has acclimated to her new surroundings quickly with the help of a very caring and loving staff who go above and beyond to meet her needs. It is so important to me and my siblings knowing she is now safe and thriving in her new home.

The staff had been accommodating, especially the dining room.[name removed] can be picky at times and they always take care of him. All the questions I have had are answered in a timely manner. [name removed] has been a tremendous help as well as [name removed] with any questions or concerns. The apartment building is clean. No complaints.

Turners rock was exactly what we needed for my father. The staff there everyone has just been amazing and the food is awesome. It is not a cafeteria where you just get whatever they're fixing for the day, but it is an actual restaurant with a menu and specials every day for lunch or dinner. Also, you can purchase a meal for visitors to come and eat with you. The white staff are amazing and so kind to the residence. They call them by name they remember what they like to drink offer any extra help as far as maybe food needing to be cut up and they treat them with dignity and respect. Honest to goodness you walk into that facility and you do not know that you are in an assisted living facility. It feels like a high-end apartment facility and I couldn't be more pleased with the care that my dad is receiving there.

My neighbor stayed in a facility that was really grim compared with this place. I wish that she could've stayed here. Our friend stays here now and she declares that it's the best place she ever stayed in. The rooms are very nice and the facilities here are top notch. she invited us for lunch couple of times and breakfast too. The quality of food and preparation is really good. The staff seem to be friendly and competent too. Our friend seems to get along well with everyone and her life is interesting and never (seemingly) boring. That's got to be a good thing.

Mission Ridge is wonderful, exciting and full of top notch staff and fun activities. I've lived here for almost 3 years and it is HOME to me. I've met some amazing people and am so happy I chose to live here.

Mission Ridge is very welcoming. I’ve lived here for over 2 years. It’s Very comfortable and entertaining! There are lots of interesting activities. Excellent facility! Excellent staff!

I can’t say enough about the staff at the Anthem location. We moved my mother in quite quickly and were there every step of the way to help us make it a smooth transition. Everybody has been so welcoming and helpful in making this easier for my mom. From the people in operations to the staff in the restaurant I can’t thank you enough. Everyone seems to really love what they do and have the residents needs as their number one priority.

My experience with [name removed] and the folks at Merrill Gardens has been extremely positive. They are all very responsive, caring, flexible and welcoming.

We quickly could see that Merrill Gardens was #1 on our list. Everything was fresh and bright. We really liked the layout of the building, liked the 7am-7pm restaurant schedule, and lots of residents around being busy and happy. The room was spacious and had lots of amenities. Very happy, helpful staff.

Truewood was very nice everything was great .The rooms were the best I have seen since I have been looking for a new place.The the residence seem to be very happy.

The staff was amazing when we needed to move my mother in law in super fast. [name removed] in particular. The facility is clean and bright. I love the many activities they have as well as the fantastic "restaurant " style cafeteria. I wish they had more transportation options for grocery shopping, church and gym runs. Food seems good. Facility is very clean. The apartments are spacious and Sharon loves her balcony. The mini fridge is a wonderful addition.

The staff and residents are extremely helpful, kind and friendly. It is a welcoming, inviting community. The activities vary in an effort to reach everyone, but no one is pushy. Your privacy is respected. The facility is clean. We have only been here 2 months but this community feels like home.

I lived here more then 5 years , and the team we have here is so great the work together to keep the facility a great place to live , i love the morning exercise and happy hours and our events here at merrill gardens are always the best i want to thank the marketing team and activities on how well they work together . The activities team does a great job at making sure all of us residents are happy and each have a activity we enjoy.

The staff has been very helpful and respectful. The apartment size is good, just right for mom's needs. I would recommend them to others who are searching for senior living for their loved one.

Merrill gardens was reassuring, not pushy, and very professional while my Dad was determining if this would be the right place for him. There is a real sense of community that you see right away. Residents are not tucked away in their rooms, they eat together, visit, and enjoy activities together. The rooms are bright and smartly designed. It's everything a person could need. The facility is neat as a pin, just smells clean. My Dad's housekeeper is wonderful. They come once a week and clean for him, and the best part, put new sheets on his bed if he leaves them out. The flexibility of food is wonderful-no set meals times, residents can eat whenever they want between 7 to 7. After my Mom died my Dad's diet really suffered. Meals were lot enjoyable alone and since he has moved to Merrill Gardens it seems like one of the highlights of his day

I have a nice, big 2 bedroom apartment, with 2 bathrooms and lots of windows. It was repainted, got new flooring and new kitchen cabinets before I moved in. The bathroom fixtures are a bit dated, but clean and usable. Food is excellent, staff are kind and pleasant.

Room size was good. We had a 1 bedroom with balcony, large living space, kitchen, large bathroom and closet. They had a variety of planned a activities and many residents got together for games. Food was good but very repetitive. Staff was great and formed a good relationship with my mom. Administrators were sometimes hard to reach but were good to work with. Staff that cleaned the apartments were not great and only did surface clean. Overall, we felt very good about the facility and the care. We would go there again if needed.

The facilities are beautiful. I was introduced to employees as they passed by during the tour. Even spoke to the chef. It was very clean and quiet. Residents all had smiles on their faces and were addressed by name. Each of the rooms I was shown were spacious for the type of room. I was given a list of how the monthly rent is calculated which is appreciated. It was explained about the yearly increase and that you can have overnight guest for up to 5 days which is really nice to know.

The staff is well trained and friendly. Activities are appropriate and scheduled for multiple times every day. The rooms are a nice size and the facilities are very well maintained.

My dad’s time at the assisted living community was difficult because of his health condition. The staff were generally kind, open, and caring, and they made efforts to support him and keep him comfortable during a challenging period. I appreciate the compassion shown to him and our family in his final days.
