Merrill Gardens

Things are going great for my parents since he made the move into the Courtyards. They're really liking it , and the place is always kept very clean, there is never a bad smell. All of the residents are always very happy. The meals provided are very good, I had a few myself when I was helping them move in. They have a lot of options they can choose between things like chef's choice or something different from the menu. They also have healthy versions of certain things for diabetics or residents who are watching what they eat. The apartment they are in is small, but they are happy. Overall, We highly recommend this placed, it's also the only community that offers independent living in the area.

This place is just awesome. The staff are friendly and helpful. The residents are all happy and very complimentary of their home. They are also welcoming to new comers. Lots of great activities. Everything is clean and smells clean. So glad we found this new home for my parents.

Community Relations Director [Removed] was very kind and accommodating in providing us with a tour on very short notice. The staff of Merrill Gardens is friendly and professional, the facility itself is beautiful and the cost was in line with our expectations. We are still reviewing our options for Dad's future living arrangements, but Merrill Gardens has set a standard that will be hard to beat.

My father and law and mother in law moved to Willow Park. They were amazing taking care of them!!! My father in law passed away in June. Even though he was very stubborn the staff saw his good side. They treated him with respect and love. Now my mother in law in there. The staff have ALL been wonderful to her!!!! They have been life savers for us!!!! I want to move there!

5 Star First Class Assisted Living and Memory Care and so much more! My mother has lived at Sunshine Villa for several years and she is thriving! My brother and I were reluctant to relocate mom from her Condo to assisted living but it was the best decision we ever made for her care and happiness. From our first meeting with [Removed] and [Removed], we felt like a solution had been found and we were no longer in crisis mode. My mother had taken a fall while alone in her Condo and fractured her lower back. While she was on the mend, [Removed] and [Removed] assured us that the staff and community of Sunshine Villa would take great care of her. We could not be happier nor more impressed by the level of care and professionalism that is provided at Sunshine Villa. As you walk into “ the Villa” you are greeted by a wonderful receptionist who has a watchful eye on who enters or leaves the premises. Your eyes are soon filled with the glow from a cozy fireplace in a library filled with antique sofa chairs and countless books to choose from. Tea, coffee, lemonade and snacks are always available. The dining room is nicely decorated and provides 3 hearty meals each day with a variety of selections. Residents may also order off a menu. The dining room servers are so well trained and polite-top notch! There is a private dining room with antique furniture and china available for families to use at any time for private gatherings. Beyond the library there are lovely nooks and crannies to enjoy and a beautiful outdoor garden and sitting area. On the third floor is the nurse station. If mom ever has any medical issues, within minutes of calling I have reached a medical staff member. A nurse will check in on mom and promptly provide pertinent updates to me. A phone call from Sunshine Villa always starts with “Kim, your mom is fine”, another testimony to the professional training the entire staff receives. If your senior enjoys keeping an active schedule, the activities coordinator provides a unique daily repertoire of activities. A schedule is sent to the family each month so you can remind your loved one to get out there and enjoy an event. Scenic drives, museum visits, luncheons, stretching, happy hours, art classes and bingo are just a few of the many activities that seniors may choose from. They will even send one of their sweet staff members to remind residents of an activity they were planning to attend. Staff check in on residents in their private living quarters throughout the day which is yet another layer of assurance that our mom is well cared for. If you are looking for the very best care for a family member, please consider Sunshine Villa. It provides a loving community in a safe environment that feels like a home, bright and cheerful.

I have visited Sheldon Park as a professional and visitor over the past few years. As soon as you walk in to the community, you feel a sense of warmth and family. The residents are friendly and seem very happy. A few residents greeted me and asked me questions and made sure I was comfortable. I was impressed... It showed they took pride in their home. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Having visited several different communities, I was impressed at the longevity of not only the management staff but also many other employees that work there. Some have worked there for 17 years! Sheldon Park has several different activities to choose from providing many different options. They have an activity program for the assisted living portion, their Bridges Program, and the Memory Care program. I have never seen an activity program as extensive as theirs and truly personalized to their residents plus their activity director is one who has been there for over 15 years! The community is clean and odor free and seems well maintained. During one of my visits, I came during an event and met the chef. He made some great BBQ! And again, worked there for over 15 years. This community is top notch, they put their residents first, and clearly go above and beyond.

Stopped by today at this beautiful property! [Removed] was amazing. They weren't even open yet and spent a lot of time with me. This community is amazing! A dream destination for sure! The apartments are actually all huge in size and the assisted living comes to you in your apartment. A little more money but I believe worth it.

As a professional in the industry for 15+ years, I was very pleased to the welcome I received as soon as I walked through the door at Sheldon Park, Eugene. I received a tour on the spot with no appointment and was very impressed by such cleanliness. More importantly, the staff were super kind and it was clear at Sheldon Park, the residents are provided a safe, secure and loving home. Both the dementia unit and assisted living had a full schedule of all types of activities to encourage neurological stimulation at all different levels. Very impressed! Love the car in the activity room!

The staff are kind, helpful, nice and are taking good care of mom. She loves the food. They have an activities person for the memory care unit and they keep them busy. The community is kept clean.

We were very impressed. Merilyn greeted us and had information layed out so we could easily know what the price range of different rooms were as we looked at each one. The place was very clean and she greeted residents by name as she saw them. She answered our questions and even offered to help up with the process of working with the VA.

I cannot say enough positive things about Willow Park Assisted Living. My mother lived here for 16 months, and the care she received was outstanding. Patient and kind caregivers, great activities, clean and beautiful facility and committed staff I spent a lot of time at Willow Park with my mom and saw the care others received-Very genuine and caring staff ,and I knew my mom was in a safe and loving environment. I highly recommend this facility!

This community was one of my parents top choices. It had a beautiful open floor plan with lots of great amenities offered to there residents. I loved how friendly and welcoming the staff made you feel as well as the current residents. I overall have no complaints and would have chose this facility for my parents but it was just too far of a drive for my family.

Each time I enter Willow Park I am greeted with friendliness and a willingness to assist me and meet my needs. The staff no matter their role is happy, outgoing, attentive, and exhibit a genuine desire to help families make tough decisions for their loved ones and always provide a home-like atmosphere. Willow Park is clean and inviting inside. They pay close attention to detail and will make every effort and more to answer questions and provide excellent service. It is worth the trip to check it out!!

I work in healthcare and visit multiple hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and assisted living facilities on a daily basis. I've been in the industry for 8 years and over that time have realized the facilities in the Boise area that I would feel comfortable with my mom there and facilities that in no way would I ever let any family member spend any time at. Willow Park is on the top of my list for the "Approved for Mom" list! It is one of the cleanest and organized assisted living facilities that I ever go to. The Clinical staff is amazing and always educating themselves on the latest and greatest way to assist and take care of residents. The inside of the building is very up to date (you would be surprised how many are not) and has a very comfortable, warm, home feeling to it. I don't think I have ever noticed anything but smiles on every resident when I'm there. And if they aren't smiling, someone on the staff does everything they can to change that quickly. Like I said I see just about every facility in the Treasure Valley. Because of that I have a list of about 5 places that I would feel comfortable my mom being a resident at. Of the 5, Willow Park is number one on that list! Take a look. I don't think you would be disappointed!

My father wanted nothing to do with an assisted living community, until he got here. He has been perfectly happy from the moment he got there and so have I.

Our family absolutely loves Willow Park Assisted Living and all that it offers. Our grandmother lived there 2005-2008 until her passing. Our mother has lived there since 2011 and amazing that most of the staff who took care of grandma are still there and helping care for our mother! From [Removed] who gives tours and is a wealth of knowledge in elder care, to [Removed], [Removed], & [Removed] at the front desk, [Removed] in the personal cares department, [Removed] in outreach, nursing staff [Removed], [Removed], [Removed], [Removed], [Removed], the dining hall staff, [Removed] in activities, [Removed] and the bus drivers, [Removed] & [Removed] in maintenance, [removed] in finances, [Removed] in cares, [Removed] director, and so many others - everyone just really makes our family feel at home and we know that our mother is getting the best care and they all love on her. They treat their clients at Willow Park as if it was their loved one living there. Thank you for making our mother happy and giving us all peace of mind knowing she is well taken care of.

The personnel at Willow Park are so outstanding and my family was so grateful we found the place for our mother. We had a challenge going into the process and Mary stepped up and saved the day with everyone following right behind to provide a smooth transition. It is a lovely facility with positive attitudes. It makes a big difference when dealing with a difficult situation. Mom really likes the place and everyone there, so we are hopeful she will consider it home soon.

One of the hardest decisions for any family to make is to send an aging parent to Assisted Living or "the home” as some people call it. Our 89 year old mother was recovering from serious health issues and because of the need for trained medical care and management of medications we were unable to care for her at home. We talked about Assisted Living for a short period while she recovered and selected Sheldon Park because of the beautiful facility, incredible staff and the care available. Mom is now recovered and when asked about moving back home she tells us to move somebody else into the house because she is having too much fun at Sheldon Park. They handle her medications, do the cooking, spoil her with kindness and care and best of all give her the opportunity to choose every day what activity she is going to participate in. She has made numerous friends and enjoys visiting daily with all of therm. In fact, it is hard to ever find her in her room because she is a very happy and busy lady. Sheldon Park is an amazing place with incredible caregivers, staff and administrators. We highly recommend it!!!

Willow Park has been an amazing place to work for the last two years. The team is compassionate and friendly. I get to see true examples of compassion demonstrated every day to the residents. The team is always ready to trouble shoot together when a resident may be going through a difficult time. My favorite part of this company is the ability to go above and beyond just the care portion. There is a full time position here that is dedicated to uplifting the spirit of each resident and creating events called "wow" moments where we get to make an individual resident's heart sing!

I recently visited Sheldon Park Senior Living. I was very impressed by the warm and inviting feel of the community upon arrival. The staff was very friendly and the residents were great. I had the pleasure of meeting a few of the residents who were enjoying their time playing pool, dancing, and making crafts in the Activity Room. While touring the facility, I came upon a beautiful outdoor common area, a great Activity Room, and a SPA where the residents can receive rejuvenating treatments and get their hair done. The live in rooms were very inviting and the facility was so clean. You can tell the employees put great value in the care of their residents at Sheldon Park Senior Living.
