Merrill Gardens

Excellent facility! Exceptionally clean and beautifully appointed. Staff is professional, warm, friendly, and caring. My Mom loved her visit and was invited by staff and residents to come back and visit with them. I will definitely use this facility again if when respite care is needed.

I chose this community because the pricing is perfect and it’s close to home. The staff is wonderful and friendly. Everyone is friendly and personable here. The food is excellent with good sized portions. They only serve dinner though. But, in my apartment, there is a full sized kitchen with a stove so I can cook for myself when it comes to Breakfast and Lunch. The rooms are very clean and spacious but they come unfurnished. I do my own laundry and they have someone come in every other week to change my bed, clean my bathroom, and sweep the floors. They do offer activities such as bingo, swimming, going to the gym, they have movie nights, bus trips, shopping trips, and they have entertainment come in every so often to play music or sing. I would recommend this community to anybody.

The tour of Legacy was great. [Removed] was exceptional. He was fun to be around, gave us all the information we needed and like all the personnel we were in contact with, he made Legacy a very inviting place to live. We have placed it on our list of possible places.

We chose this program for our Mother. It offered the type of programs that would offer our Mom a very attractive facility, good menu, and strong staff. In visiting each time, we noted the activities constantly present for residents. It was one of the facilities that seemed to walk their talk; demonstrating their ability to keep residents engaged in their environment. We were especially attracted to the diversity of not only staff but also the residents. In looking at all of the programs, the populations diversity was what helped to cement our decision.

So far the best. This facility will make her feel like she has her own home.

Grandma has memory issues so when we toured this place we were afraid that she would get lost in there and it just wasn't the right spot for her. It was a nice and clean community but just had to go to a smaller community. The director who we toured with was absolutely amazing and she answered all our questions.

When we came to look initially, one of the residents let us see her room and told us how nice a facility Legacy is. The staff is friendly and compassionate.

They staff is very helpful with our needs.

Bear creek is a warm place that brings joy and life to the lives of all it members. My grandfather truly enjoys the community and the staff as he only has nice things to say. As for me I love the amazing fresheners they have that make the facility smell so clean and calm. As far as a center of care for elderly, this is definitley at the top of my list for my grandpa.

food very tasteful and a good assortment of choices.

I enjoy living here the care is great and so are the people. When your here you are well taken care of physically and emotionally.

I have been here for 3 years and am very happy I call it home.

I have spent many hours volunteering at this community and loved every minute of it! The residents are sweet, they love crafts and exercise, and the employees all seem to love the work they do. I always have a good time when I come here.

The entire staff including housekeeping, dining room, executive director, sales manager, concierge, nursing, events and maintenance really care about every resident and it shows. They put their hearts into the job on a daily basis. They know residents by name and family members. They go above and beyond and really take the time to address your concerns. My mom was well cared for during her stay there and I never worried that things were going unnoticed. The community is spotless. Programs are quality. The food is delicious. Bear Creek receives my highest recommendation.

Met the staff and toured the facility. Like the concept very much and it doesn't hurt that even the developer has some personal knowledge of the people that will be utilizing the facilities services. Appears that they have a good system underway and it could be an attractive alternative for my Mom. Difficult to totally assess the facility because as of this date,(10/09/2017) they are still under construction... but what I saw looked very promising.

The staff at Legacy goes above and beyond. The facility is like family. My mom is here because of Dementia. She is safe and cared for better than I cold have ever imagined. They employ a wonderful staff that is caring and compassionate.

Kindness is everythig at bear creek. From the first caregiver to the last and everyone inbetween kindness is formost. You get many hugs and are told how beautiful you are. as you get older you want to be surrounded by good people, people that are good for you good to you and good for your soul. That is Legacy at Bear creek

We are very pleased with the size of the facility and ease of navigation. The residents have been very friendly and inclusive. The staff has been most helpful and caring. We feel very fortunate to have found Legacy at Bear Creek.

[Removed] is friendly and always available to assist when necessary

I toured the facility for my mom and it was beautiful. [Removed] was welcoming and very knowledgeable. I observed that the tenants seemed to also really like him as well as he showed me around the facility. It is very clean and feels cozy like home. I cannot remark on the last two areas, but given what I saw and how I felt, I'm confident they are all 5s as well.
