5/5
My mother moved in here 2.5 years ago after my dad died. She was lonely, depressed and losing weight. She really didn't want to come but since moving to Merrill Gardens to she has thrived! She's gained weight due to the wonderful food! She loves her apartment (even brought her cat) and they offer lots of activities, events, celebrations and outings. The entire staff, from the front desk, sales, general manager, accounting, maintenance, dining room, kitchen, activities, housekeeping and nursing are so friendly, attentive and knows residents by name. This place is bright and cheery and I so enjoy visiting there and seeing my mother, staff and residents.
Sadly, recently her cat passed away. Thanks to nurse, Brianna who called me to alert me, I ran right over and got him to the vet and we were able to say goodbye before he passed. Tiesha, the head nurse was also very helpful in making sure I was alerted.
We're so very grateful to Tiesha and Brianna who are our heroes!!! The staff and residents have been so kind to my mother in acknowledging the passing of her cat.
On another note, please know like any facility, there is a rent increase each year so factor this in.
