Merrill Gardens

The staff and everyone at Fig Gardens has been great to my mother, She is still adjusting but I think she likes it more than she is leading on. She has a caregiver that goes and helps her, and her apartment is comfortable. It is a great place and I am happy with it so far.

Mom has had no complaints about this community. I am impressed with their assistance. The staff are wonderful and mom likes that they know her by name. The food is good and they offer daily activities. They offer two week respite stays. This community is in a nice location and I would recommend it.

I am happy with Sunshine Villa so far. My father seems to be doing very well. The staff is nice and everyone is very helpful. They have a lot of activities available and the meals are pretty good. The facility is clean and does not smell. It has been a positive experience.

I was more than pleased with all aspects of the community living at Fig Garden. People were friendly, facility and rooms were inviting, with good light, and airy. I would love to reside there. I just wish Ms. Travis would have given me the correct financial information concerning costs before my visit.

we felt comfortable the minute we walked in....food is good..rooms are good size and clean. staff very helpful and willing to help in any way.

My friend's mom needed attention quickly when she was ill and the staff answered her questions quickly and efficiently. They really go above and beyond to help others.

We are happy with the care here for my father. They keep me updated on his care. The community is very clean and taken care of. We are happy with the meals and he is happy with the variety and the portions. He is offered to get involved in some of the activites, and hopefully he will want to get more involved with the other residents. I like the feeling of this community. I would reccomend this community for the good care and value

It was a very nice community to see. However it was just too far from our house and the area my mom is familiar with. The tour guide was thorough and ready to answer my questions. They were nice and hospitable.

My dad just moved in. He loves it, he already calls Merrill Gardens his home. His absolute favorite thing is his walk in shower! Falling has been such a big concern for him. He loves the food and everyone is nice!! His apartment is just lovely.

The administrator at this community has been very helpful with the paperwork needed for dad's insurance. The staff have been helpful and the nursing director even held a training class to make sure the attendants had the knowledge to care for his medical needs. Dad enjoys the thinking games such as scrabble and trivia.The food is excellent and they are flexible when it comes to ordering meals. The community is well maintained and I would recommend it.

I have been very pleased with the service, quality of food, atmosphere, and people. The staff is very attentive and genuinely concerned of each persons health and wellbeing.

The property was older looking but quaint. The tour guide was very friendly. The pricing was the most attractive of the 3 properties we visited. However, that is the furthest from where my mom and i live now and the area felt a little foreign to her.

Loved this facility also. It is within walking distance to Balboa Park and within a taxi/Uber ride to Downtown San Diego. The rooms are spacious. I like all the amenities the place offers. The staff is very friendly. [Removed] were excellent ambassadors for the place. I would definitely keep this place on my short list. The only two caveats I have are that the place is on the expensive side, and the décor is not "contemporary/modern." It feels and looks like a traditional retirement home--a trivial matter when one looks at the whole picture.

I have been to Sheldon Park many times, and have always been impressed. The care staff is very helpful. The residents are happy, and the building is beautiful. The people in charge of the activities are amazing and they are always going the extra mile for the people that live there.

A finalist for my in-laws. Great location, nice facility, large apartments and good variety of activities and services. No 2 bedrooms are available right now which was important criteria in their decision.

We were very impressed with the helpful, caring attitude exhibited at Barkley. The residents seemed active and engaged. Facilities are well-kept. Access to everything is easy for residents. VERY helpful staff!

I am super happy with it. The staff is amazing. The food is amazing, you can eat anytime, instead of set meal times, they have a rotating menu, the head chef is awesome, and very accommodating. I really like that they make the activities as fun as possible, they take them out on activities, and again the staff are so good. I can't say enough about the staff, they do not tolerate error. The head of nursing, [Removed], is I feel, an angel on earth. They really go the extra mile. They have really figured out the showers, and every room has a washer and dryer, and a kitchenette. The only thing it's missing is an outdoor garden. It's lovely how they have situated what they have. It's a LOT less than where we were before.

My folks love Sheldon! So many options on the activities with easy access to everything. The food is fantastic, and they provide special meals for holidays which is a nice touch. What impresses us the most is the level of attention and care. You can tell that the staff truly enjoys working there. Some of them have worked in the industry for many years, and say Sheldon is the best facility they've worked in. [Removed] interview and tour was the deciding factor. She is amazing!

We found this to be an outstanding community for care. A new community with great care. the staff is outstanding and goes out. The food is restaurant style and excellent. My mom is very happy with the meals. She is active with the activities. My mom is active and independent. We would highly recommend this community for great care and value for family members.

I couldn’t be happier with Sheldon Park for the care of my Grandma! Everything about the facility is top notch! The smiling employees at the front door make you feel right at home. The facility is well taken care of with the cleanest amenities. The staff is so caring and provides the best personalized care. I have participated in the fun daily activities and it is truly a joy to see all the residents having fun and engaging with one another! I enjoy visiting during meal times…every meal is delicious with such variety! It is so comforting knowing that my Grandma is in the best hands, gets great care and loves her home! Thank you Sheldon Park!
