Merrill Gardens

The staff at Merrill Gardens goes above and beyond no matter what their positions are. Having open meal times being able to eat when they're ready huge benefit care levels are fair.

I have been so happy and impressed with everything about Merrill. The people working there (from administrative staff to maintenance, dining room workers, etc) are all so caring, knowledgeable and friendly. They made my mom feel welcomed immediately. This was a difficult move for mom, but they have helped so much with the transition. They make each resident feel valued and important. The facility is safe, clean, bright and pleasant. I get text messages from mom continually telling me what’s she is eating for dinner and how good the food is. I no longer worry about mom trying to live alone. The move to Merrill has been so good not only for mom but also for the rest of the family knowing mom is being so well cared for. I highly recommend Merrill.

The facility feels comfortable and welcoming with bright and airy common areas. The staff is friendly and helpful. I find apartments well laid out with studio, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units. Units have washer/dryer, ADA bathroom and shower. The 1 & 2 bedroom have kitchens.

I'd highly recommend them. It was new and the price was competitive, which is why we picked them.

It's a wonderful place and the staff caretakers are amazing. There is just one bad apple that doesn't do her job on the reception desk. She does not call you every morning to check up on you.

All 5's! This is seriously such a good place for our aunt. She is so happy! Truewood has been an amazing place. They are very caring and helpful. They have created a very friendly atmosphere. When she first moved in, the transition was easy and comfortable for her. They went out of their way to make her feel welcome as she acclimated to her new environment. Anytime my loved one needs anything they assist. The price is wonderful and very affordable. We are very happy with all that is included. I know that my aunt is well taken care of and all her needs are met.

We obviously loved these people! From the time we first visited them, thru the passing, they were fantastic!!!! They are VERY compassionate and understanding that every person is an individual. They work hard to make people comfortable.

When my parents took a tour, they were impressed by the beautiful community spaces, relaxed atmosphere and friendly greetings from staff and residents, and the spacious apartments. They decided to move in, one month later. They appreciate the walkable neighborhood, anytime dining, onsite fitness center and health services, and the variety of social activities. They appreciate their quiet apartment with a private porch. They also feel a sense of community.

It's a very friendly community that is close to public transport, medical facilities, shopping, and entertainment.

Truewood New Bern is an answered prayer!!! The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly and are passionate about doing what they do. The facility is clean and well organized and has a fun and peaceful climate. My mother felt right at home.

We saw other places with lots of activities and events and things going on. It was a little too much at those places for our mom. Truewood is perfect. Enough to do, but not overwhelming. Our Mom has become friends with many other residents too.

The 3 months she spent at Merrill Gardens was an overall great experience. The facility is clean and beautiful. The staff was amazing.

We picked Turners because of the staff, apartment sizes and options...(balcony, large closets, modern décor, etc.) excellent activities director, nicest restaurant we saw in Springfield, MO with a great variety.... they checked off all the boxes. Very very pleased with everything at Turners.

As an outside provider I am frequently in this building. The staff is caring and attentive. They have an amazing activity program and they provide a homelike environment. I can't say enough about the level of care they provide for their residents.

The facility is clean, attractive and in a nice location. Staff are bright, cheerful, friendly and helpful. Food is good and plentiful. The care my wife has received is outstanding, and she's happy. They could use a few more visitor parking spaces. Overall, an excellent facility.

Everything from move-in through integration into the community went smoothly. Everything they promised was delivered. They accommodated our special needs. It felt like moving into a luxury vacation property. The location in downtown Renton is perfect. Staff is knowledgeable and very friendly very welcoming.

Elder care services and prices are extremely varied. This service made recommendations that zeroed in to our needs and made this experience so much easier and much less stressful. We are grateful! We are confident that our parent is reasonably content and has the necessary care for her current state of health.

My dad moved into Merrill Gardens after being hospitalized and we realized it was not safe for him to live by himself anymore. It was a huge change for everyone in our family, and a super stressful time, but the staff here were very helpful during the process. He has now been at Merrill Gardens for 6 months and we could not be happier. At first, Dad was still recovering and needed a lot of extra care. Now, he has really settled in and is gradually needing a little less. He will probably always need some extra care with multiple medications every day and help using the restroom and showering. But he is also able to have some independence. The care staff and the nurses here have been so conscienscious and helpful. I myself am a nurse, so I can tell that they are doing a good job. My dad feels comfortable with them, and they give me a lot of peace of mind that he is well cared-for. The staff has been communicative and kind, which I really appreciate.

The moment we walked into the foyer I knew this is where my brother will live and I will feel comfortable placing him in a secure and welcoming facility. The open spaces and natural light coming from big windows in the dining room and surrounding spaces. The diner is another happy space to join other residents for lunch. The hallways are wide and always clean. My brother has mentioned that the food is always fresh and very tasty. He has only been there for three months and so far he has no complaints. I’m happy I found Merrill Gardens.

After several harrowing incidents at home, for safety concerns we insisted Mom leave her home of almost 70 years. She cried, of course, but we convinced her it was the best thing. Her attitude made a 180 degree turn when she saw how much safer, easier, social and fun her new home at Truewood by Merrill in Ocean Springs is. She's happier and more content than she's been since Dad--the love of her life--passed in 2016. At 98, she enjoys socializing and having pretty much everything done for her by the kind and attentive staff. We--and Mom--couldn't be happier with our decision.
