Merrill Gardens

This tour was done [date removed]. [Name removed] was very helpful and gave me a great tour of his facility. Price OK.

It is excellent here. Everyone is friendly and easy to get along with, staff and residents included.. The staff are very helpful and they do a good job cleaning. They are really great. I just enjoy living here. They offer all varieties of food. I would say that the food is average but not gourmet. They offer a lot of menu options as well. I chose this community because it was relatively new and it is in an excellent location in downtown Burien with shops and restaurants in walking distance. I would very much recommend this community.

It is a smaller community and does a great job relating to the residents on an individual basis. They are great at communication, especially with me being out of state. The food is good.The one bedroom unit is a great fit for my aunt. They have an indoor garden where there is smoking.

The memory care is great, and private. The community is clean and bright and does not smell like a nursing home.The staff is helpful. They have a nice garden area in the back. It could use some help with the landscaping. Prior to the quarantine they had lots of activities and went on outings weekly. They have taken very good care of my father in law and our whole family.

Good Facility!

Excellent, Modern, New, Clean, Professional, Positive, Superb-Staff, Building, Food, Service, Activities!!

Well-managed, caring staff, lovely spacious facility. Varied activity choices both here and in the area. Food service is just outstanding. Fully equipped gym and full-time fitness instructor.

This is a beautiful place that is bright and people seem happy to be there. The staff is wonderful and there are many activities to do there.

This family owned traditional style memory unit had a very knowledgeable and experienced sales director who was extremely helpful. Her stepfather is a resident and you could tell the staff are very committed to a high quality of care for their residents.

Very nice. Its on the major candidate list

Was very pleased with the tour of Merrill Gardens. It’s very nicely decorated with plenty of activities for the residents. Love the anytime dining

Seems like it has the potential to be an excellent choice. High on the list so far.

We loved it and [name removed] mom is going to move in there thank you so much for your help [name removed] Wes so helpful

Great! No rooms available presently, but they’re remodeling and will have more availability soon.

This is the place! Took dad for our return visit & he was ready to sign up! The studio apt was perfect & it's available now! We found dad's new home! Wow! Really liked this place! Dad would have lots of space to walk in, plus they go walking at a local park every week. He would also have access to a treadmill in the PT room. Many places for him to do his own activities & a full group activities schedule too. My husband felt more comfortable here than the other 2 places we visited. We both like how this place is set up to welcome family visits from an arcade to a sports bar to an observation room over the airport. Pretty impressive!

Very clean facility. [Name removed] was very informative and helpful.

Wonderful hospitality. Staff warm. Acknowledged every resident by name. Residents smiling and interacting with each other. 2-way communication pendant (life alert) included in cost.

I had the opportunity to go and visit Pine Rock and was very impressed. I was a little hesitate after reading some of the comments on this site but I'm glad I took the time to go and see for myself. The staff was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. I witness, during my tour, the staff hugging and caring for residents. Staff were always present, walking around, talking to the residents unlike some of the other places I had visited and, no staff were to be found. The community relations director for Pine Rock was very sweet and, she answered all questions and, between her and the tour, we were at Pine Rock for over 2 hours. I was surprised that she and the staff took all that time to be with us. Sadly, my father went into hospice and our next move to a assisted living didn't happen but had it, Pine Rock Manor would have been my choice. Bravo Pine Rock Manor

Felt like we walked into a resort and not a senior living community. Between the movie theater, the diner, the pub all on first level. Been looking for a place for our Mom, she is very fussy on the place that she wants to live the rest of her life. She needs some assistance, she doesn't like to admit to it, but [name removed] easy her fears and feeling about her vision of the typical senior home. Between the stories of his grandma and her experience and his knowledge helped easy my Mom feel more comfortable to picking this place for her future home.

Mom has only been here a little over 2 months. But both of us are pleased. The apartments are open with nice layouts and large bathrooms. The balconies are screened in. They have a new heated pool too. One thing we like is there are not set hours for meals. The kitchen opens in the morning and closes in the evening. So you can eat whenever you like during those hours. There is always something going on in the common area's. Residents playing games or just socializing.
