I moved my 93 year old mother to Merrill Gardens and it has been a great experience. The facility is spotless and well-appointed, the staff are friendly and professional, and my mother is much happier than she was at her previous retirement community. I was really impressed when the housekeeping team went above and beyond what I asked them to do in cleaning the apartment. Overall, I am very happy that my grandmother is now living at Merrill Gardens.
