Merrill Gardens

The staff is amazing and they make real effort to know the residents by name. The Villas are quiet and the small outdoor space is very relaxing. All of the residents we have met have been friendly and welcoming. All in all our short experience in the Villas has been pleasant.

Turners Rock is a great place in general. My mom has been here for almost two years and the staff is GREAT!! The people that stay at Turners are so nice and friendly. The Activity Director and he is GREAT! There are so many fun things to do.

I don't know how you get by just renting to the happiest people and hiring the most helpful and caring staff, but you have accomplished that. Nothing is left to change and care is a BIG part of their name.

Hello. I have lived here for over 2 years and I really enjoy talking with my new friends. My wife is deceased and while I miss her terribly, Turners Rocks makes me happy. I would like to leave with this poem. Rocks like a cradle, stands like a rock, staff is wonderful and happy is the flock- at least around here.

Our dad moved to Merrill Gardens Wright Park a year ago. From our first visit and everyday since, the staff has been kind, respectful and helpful. Staff members have helped our dad maintain his independence while also encouraging him to participate in the many activities offered. They went so far as to organize a weekly cribbage game so Dad could meet new people while playing his favorite game. We feel welcome during our weekly visits and are so grateful to have found such a lovely home for our dad.

This facility has it all!! Top notch staff, excellent food, activities, facility with amazing views. From [name removed] who showed the facility, to [name removed] who made the move a fun and easy experience, and [name removed]who walked us through the signing with humor and professionalism; this place is classy and fun. We feel this is the perfect home for our aunt to remain active and engaged while being cared for by [name removed], [name removed]and [name removed]who go out of their way to make everyday special. Merrill Gardens Wright Park - you are all extraordinary.

We had an abrupt need for assisted living last spring. I basically had to figure it all out in a week. [name removed] and [name removed] stepped up with openness, patience, and flexibility. They helped me to learn what I needed to think about without being pushy. Once we got in the rest of the staff have been amazing, knowing my family’s names and meeting their unique needs. The facility property is really easy to access and the “two story” format makes it quick to get in and out of the unit. It is well maintained. I looked at a lot of places and actually toured 5 places. A Place for Mom was a huge help. The facilities run the gamut in layouts, services, and costs. I found this one to be a really good value.

So far our mom is very happy there. Shes a picky eater and claims she doesn't eat meat, but she talks about the food being very good and served hot. She does have sausage and bacon at breakfast. Moms not much of a socializer, so we are happy she meets up with the same people for all 3 meals. It would have been helpful from the start to know who to call for what. I mentioned some issues with the aides and [name removed] provided me with a good update. The place is small enough to feel very homey and easy to get to know people.

I am impressed with the staff. They are both friendly and anxious to help. The activities are diverse and seem to be fun for all. My daughter has made a number of new friends. My overall impression is a very positive one.

My family and I moved our mother to Merrill Gardens in Hillsboro at the end of June from another facility in the area. From the very beginning the staff at Merrill Gardens impressed us. The friendly tour was informative and inviting. The General Manager was positive and very helpful. The reason for the move was that we were very concerned for her safety and well being at her previous location. The staff at Merrill Gardens made it clear that our mother’s health, safety and well being are their top concerns. Just recently our mother fell ill. The staff mobilized with daily health checks, food deliveries directly to her room and assistance to help get her mobility back. This is just one example of what makes Merrill Gardens a safe and caring place. To wrap it up, my mother said to me that she is as “happy as she could ever be”. We, the family, are so very thankful that she is in a loving, caring and professional place!

There are lots of activities and the staff is very warm and welcoming. We would recommend. So far so good.

Having moved my dad into Merrill Gardens almost 6 weeks ago he is doing well and loves his apartment. The staff from the director [name removed] all the way to the front desk has been warm, kind and extremely helpful. I look forward to my dad thriving there.

Everything has been good so far. It is great for us, but it may not be for everyone. We are still very independent. So I'm not sure how it is. If you have to have more care.

Overall probably like many places I received much prompter assistance when we were in sales mode. After signing the contract they have been less responsive. For example we have been waiting several weeks for help assembling furniture. The room size is great, full size kitchen and full washer/dryer in unit. Three closets and ample kitchen and bathroom storage. The food is exceptional, though the restaurant-style service makes it slow at times. The activities are age appropriate and good for a mix of physical abilities. Residents and staff have been kind and welcoming. There have been inconsistent communications from staff about certain pricing, such as what is included or not in the food budget. The upstairs lounge provides a peaceful setting with spectacular views of the mountains and water. There are several decks and patios with planted box gardens for access to the outside. My parents have adjusted well from a small town setting to city life and enjoy the amenities of being close to medical providers, downtown, and cultural opportunities.

5’s across the board. We’re moving Mom in this week and everyone has been amazing. Can't recommend MGWP enough. The location is perfect for Mom as it’s right next door to the 1st Presbyterian Church of Tacoma (big deal for her), and the Sky Deck offers an amazing view of the sound. The staff are all incredibly helpful and friendly, and animals are allowed, so we can bring our dogs to visit her. The food is also amazing.

I moved my Mom into Merrill Gardens Hillsboro in Early July. She is now three months in and it just keeps getting better. The staff is great, very caring and always with a smile. The food they serve is so well prepared and presented. Great head chef and crew. And you can eat when ever you want, breakfast, lunch or dinner between 7AM and 7PM. the other great thing about Merrill Gardens Hillsboro, are the residents themselves. They all have been very welcoming and seem to really enjoy living there. The care givers are all very nice and seem to genuinely care about the residents. I visit alot and my worries for my mom have been greatly eased because of her new great surroundings and all the new activity she is now enjoying. Thank you to A Place For Mom for including Merrill Gardens in my list of the various Senior living communities to visit. And thank you to The great staff at Merrill Gardens Hillsboro for the great care you provide to your residents.

Truewood is a great place for my mom. They take care of her very well. The meals seem to be appetizing. I ate there once and had fish and it was very good. Activities seem appropriate. My mom joins in when she's up to it.

I love it here!!! The staff and residents are very friendly and welcoming. The food is consistently fantastic and there are plenty of fun and interesting activities.

All 5s! The Administrative staff has gone above and beyond to facilitate the entire process of moving my mom into care, and the Care staff is helpful, compassionate, and patient.

This place is the best! They are so caring and my mother in law loves the food, the amenities, and the activities. Everyone is SO kind---especially [name removed]
