Merrill Gardens

This is a more open style community that allows residents to move about. They do have a waiting list for the bigger apartments. The community is very nice and well maintained. Overall it is a great community we just needed a higher level of care but would recommend Willow Park to anyone.

I visited them today and I liked the facility.

This was a very nice independent living facility. Management (Greg) was very nice and informative. This would be a good choice if my dad was a little more independent. Price is good for all the amenities. Still would require medication management & laundry services. This felt very homey and comfortable.

Love it here, its beautiful, very friendly. Also was more than happy they have swimming pool & a travel program that lets you stay without charge at one of their facilities free including food.

Three delicious chef-prepared meals served daily; Weekly housekeeping and linen service; Numerous planned activities

Very interested... Have spoken with the manager several times.

We really liked this facility. very clean and they have staff that speaks spanish which will be a better fit for our mom.

This place is awesome. The apts are nice size, full kitchen. The place is clean and very well kept.people are nice, lots of activities. This is the best place so far. I can see my parents being very comfortable there. I wish it were closer to my house but it would be worth the 50 minute drive to me to have my parents in such a nice place. Also, it is affordable. They offer lots of transportation for shopping, doctors, etc. doctors are close by which is also nice. Everything was perfect about it.

The Director was helpful with information but didn't seem like she was really "selling" the place. Everything was spacious and the layout was simple. All common areas on one floor. No confusing floor plans and hallways. The rooms were very spacious, stacker w/d in 1brm units. Transportaion is provided to residents for Sunday services. Meds can be set up by us and mom take them on her own. Walk in showers in 1 bdrm; glass doors on studio shower. 4brnr stoves in studio and bdrm.levels of care in 30 pt increments;heat is run by heat pump;meals served all day between 7am/7pm; concierge can run mom somewhere for min cost; there is a button to push every AM for residents to "check in"

When the time comes this is our number 1 choice

The best that I have seen so far.

Staff member welcomed us and immediately offered us a tour. We were impressed with the surroundings and the flexibility of the room charges, but are wondering if having only one elevator would be somewhat dangerous.

Very NIce!!!!!!!!!

This is virtually on the way to Atria Willow Glen, so trying to get there on the same trip! When I got there the Director was on vacation for another week, so someone else took me on the tour. Her assistant is very knowledgeable, love her to death -- really nice gal. If the price is right, this would definitely be a winner. The units have a full-size stove and refrigerator. People like to bake, she says, so why now, these people should be able to enjoy their retirement !! her words!

Uncle LOVED this place.

Very nice, new, opened just this year

My mom having been there for 30 days, at this time I would give them a 4.5. No place is perfect, but they have been great about addressing any issues or concerns that have come up. The facility is very clean, and all staff have been very courteous and friendly.

My parents love it at Merrill Gardens. There apartment is a one bedroom with a huge balcony. The people are so friendly and they have really fit in faster than expected. My dad plays chair volleyball 4 times per week. Both mom and dad get PT and OT several times a week. They also have their meds distributed to them daily. The food is great and the parties are always fun!! The last party was a Mardi Gras party. They are socializing more than they have in years. My brothers and I are thrilled and relieved!

Smaller and more homey than the larger facilities we looked at. Staff seem to be very caring and patient. The cost for memory care is all inclusive as opposed to paying rent and then additional care fees, which is nice. The overall and value i didn't give a full 5 because the rooms are quite small in the memory care unit.

We toured with Truewood by Merrill, Roseville and had a great experience. My son and I both really liked this facility a lot. It is strictly independent living, and the person we were helping thought that he was going to need a higher level of care than that. If we were going to choose independent living though, this facility definitely would have bene our first choice.
