Merrill Gardens

My mom is a resident at The Pines of Newmarket, NH. The staff is outstanding. I appreciate the individualized attention my mom receives from the loving and caring employees. They have my mom's best interest at heart and go the extra mile to see she receives the best care possible. The staff is always attentive and in communication with me brothers regarding my mom's care. Thank you!!

I am delighted to let everyone know how happy and pleased I am with the loving, professional care my mother is receiving at The Pines of Newmarket. The caregivers consistently provide exemplary service and always with kindness, compassion and respect. I am thrilled we selected The Pines at Newmarket and am relieved to know my mother is in such loving hands.

It was amazing! Great staff, food, and the apartments are beautiful. I'd highly recommend.

WE chose Merrill Gardens because it was close to our new home and they had vacancies. My loved ones are safe at Merrill Gardens. The staff are friendly and genuinely care about the residents.

I found the staff friendly and very accommodating to my friend. They always acknowledge her by name, which made her feel at home. The moving process was smooth and easy. The meals are okay, but not terrific. I would definitely recommend this facility.

The staff is very welcoming and friendly. They are willing to help you with anything you need. Rooms sizes are adequate. Amenities offered are great.

I would say it very homey and the people and staff there are very friendly. The residents seem pretty happy. Obviously every place has its issues, but my mom is safe and happy.I picked it because some of the other places that I visited were either depressing or felt very sterile ( like a hotel). This one really has a more homey feel.

Everything is working out pretty well so far. Staff is doing a good job and are very friendly.

Staff provides excellent service. They are very accommodating to the family. Activities are well planned and all can participate, including family members. I highly recommend the facility.

Facility is so nice, clean, staff is great, food is good, move in was great no issues. I would recommend it to others. It's a great place, my dad is so happy living there!

We have a real chef with nutritious meals. At Atria (since changed name but not staff), the dining director often served food with high salt content. When we talked to her about it, [name removed] answered that "some people like it that way". After several trips to ER at Sentara Hospital with excessively high blood pressure, the head doctor of ER told me that this residence has a reputation for this problem. Also, vegetables were often boiled, soggy and not good quality or quantity. As a result, my diastolic pressure was often near 90 and above. Stomach problems from diarrhea to the point of black liquid. I eat some dessert each day, but carefully. I weigh exactly as directed by my doctor. Since I moved to Truewood, I do not have stomach or BP problems as I did before. [name removed], director of Activities, is excellent. However, because of space and advice of her supervisor, celebrations of birthdays and holidays are held in a small room with everyone seated around a table, served a treat and beverage just talking, no music or fun. Here at Truewood, every area is decorated for events, music, dancing and FUN for Christmas and New Year's. I can't wait till Valentine's Day.

Our experience was excellent and continues to be so. [name removed] loves her apartment and the area is very convenient. I would recommend Merrill Gardens to anyone. It's beautiful and didn't feel like you would think of a place with assisted living to look. Also, the sky lounge is stunning.

I am currently a resident at Truewood by Merrill Riverchase and I have no problems with anything. I would recommend this facility to others.

We chose Merrill Gardens at Barkley Place because of the location and my mother liked the facility best. The staff are very friendly and engaging. New tenant orientation is very good and welcoming. Meals/food is excellent.

When I arrived here at MGWP 5 months ago, I started to smile. The location, the inviting atmosphere, the friendly staff. It all felt right and it still does! The friendly staff keep me safe and attend to all of my needs. The comfortable dining room serves the best from-scratch soup in town along with tasty, varied entrees and desserts like my Grandma used to make. The lobby lounges, terraces, game and activity room flank the theater and gym. Parties fill the Sky Lounge and regularly spill out onto the panoramic Rooftop Deck! Meanwhile, the activities team fill the calendar with extraordinary outings as well as great events inside our beautiful community. This is the place for ME!

Staff have been very welcoming and friendly, including them all knowing her name immediately. We celebrated mom's 80th birthday a month after she moved in and they went out of their way to set up a room for the celebration. The majority of the other residents have also been very friendly and my mom has made friends already. In regards to the facility, although a little older, it is well maintained, clean and maintenance has responded quickly to any requests made.

My mom really appreciates and likes the staff. Housekeeping was a hit or miss at the beginning due to staff illness and ice storm, but now is consistent. The move in process was better than we could have expected . Food is good, but depends on my mom's preference. The breakfast meal time is too early for her so she tends to skip breakfast. I would definitely recommend this facility.

My mom was previously a resident at Truewood by Merrill Boise and they were great. I only moved my mom to different city to be closer to me. She misses them.

After a thorough research of Senior Communities from Gig Harbor to Tacoma, I found Merrill Gardens @ Wright Park to be the most Amazing place to live. For us, living here is like being on a five star vacation. There are daily activities, a variety of on and off campus events for all residents that wish to participate. We have a beautiful theatre where there are movies every night, special interest talks, etc. Food is available from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The menu's are carefully planned and prepared for anyone's palet to enjoy. The entire Merrill Gardens staff are the best!! I can't think of a better place to live

My Dad was reluctant to move into assisted living. Just after a few weeks, he was dining with new friends, and participating in new activities. The community is clean and neat, and the staff is top notch! Dad loves it there and this is his home. What a special treat to spend time on the 5th floor - 360 views of the entire valley. Everyone is very kind. You could pay more to live somewhere else, but why? everything is here!
