Great tour, great choice!!

We recently met with Brayan Antunez at Merrill Gardens, in Kissimmee. We had spoken on the phone before our visit. We were given a great tour of the facility, [name removed] knowledge was so helpful. No matter what our questions were, he had an answer right away, we did not have wait for him to ask someone else or go look it up. We found the reality of his descriptions, to be very accurate. It is not easy to move a 90 year old parent to a new place, which will be his home now. [name removed] made the process appear to be seamless, we are confident this will go very smoothly, and our choice will be a success!

Our families experience

I give them a 5 on everything. [name removed] (I don't remember his title) was amazing. We tried to move both my parents from [removed] over a year ago. That didn't work out at the time. There were problems at [removed] and my father ended up in the hospital and then a skilled nursing facility. We tried to move them both to Truewood at that time but my father's behavior was causing problems. I understood. The only place that would accept my father was [removed]. The facility was not great but the staff much more involved. My father passed away soon after moving. We were then able to move her into Truewood. It's been great. I am so grateful for the care she is receiving and the communication we have with the facility. I'd be happy to answer anymore questions. My life has calmed down a bit.

Wonderful community

After researching several senior communities and visiting many of them, my brother chose Merrill Gardens at West Chester. [name removed] was wonderful - she led us through two separate and comprehensive tours of the community and patiently and completely answered all of our questions. She and the overall community were welcoming, vibrant and friendly and my brother felt very comfortable. While there are a number of good senior communities in the West Chester area, Merrill Gardens stood out. Fast forward a month and my brother is loving being part of the Merrill Gardens community - the staff is great, the amenities are top notch and he raves about the food! We heartily recommend Merrill Gardens for senior personal care and independent living.

Truewood by Merrill in Boise

Truewood by Merrill in Boise is a clean, friendly, and affordable assisted living community. The staff is caring, friendly and attentive to the residents and their families needs. The facilities and rooms are comfortable and well maintained creating a very comfortable living environment. There are lots of activities and community gathering areas to keep residents active and engaged and the staff is very good at encouraging residents to get involved in provided activities. My Mom has only been there a short time and she really enjoys the place and the people.

AMAZING

Sometimes life requires people to move fast, in our case 10 days fast! We can't express how happy we are with our experience at Merrill Gardens at Glenn Mills.[name removed] was professional, kind and compassionate to our family's unique situation which included a super quick transition to assisted living for our mom. My brother and I live out of state; thanks to [name removed] we were able to set everything up through emails and texts 5 days prior to her move-in date! [name removed] communicated with us daily so we would have a smooth transition, and we cannot thank her enough. The staff at Merrill Gardens are top notch and really care about the residents. Everyone made mom feel welcome right away, she has been living there for only 3 weeks and is happily enjoying her daily activities. Moving to Merrill Gardens at Glen Mills has greatly improved her quality of life and it's a blessing for us to know she is happy and in such good hands. We love hearing her talk about her day every evening. The ma

We love Merrill Gardens at Gilroy

My grandmother moved into Merrill Gardens in Gilroy last year. The community has been newly remodeled and it’s absolutely beautiful. The staff is also wonderful and she has made lots of great new friends. She is also very happy with the dining program. I would highly recommend Merrill Gardens in Gilroy for your loved one.

Feel is real, you can't fake it.

What we like the most about Truewood by Merrill is that It's got a great feel to it, cozy, quaint, safe, secure, and nestled in a hilltop on a piece of Historic Land. One can not fake feel, feel is real
