I had the opportunity to interact with the Merrill Gardens when I helped an elderly friend choose a suitable place to move to. Merrill Gardens supported us through all stages of the relocation with professionalism, demonstrating attention, transparency, and genuine care toward their residents. Merrill Gardens at the University truly lives up to its name, thanks to a beautiful garden that serves as a focal point for nature lovers. The staff are kind and attentive, and the entire place offers a sense of familiarity and care. I highly recommend Merrill Gardens as a residence for independent seniors.

I helped my sister and her husband move into Merrill Gardens in October. They acclimated and made friends very quickly. We had toured many places, but Merrill Garden’s stood out because of the warm and welcoming feeling. It was the largest one bedroom we found. My sister chose a ground floor unit with French doors open to a private patio and attached to a beautiful garden. It is especially nice to have an outdoor oasis with restaurants and The University Village all within walking distance. The staff is cheerful and ready to help with whatever is needed. We are very happy with our decision. Sincerely, Virginia Dykes

I toured the community with Leslie and had a great experience. She was incredibly knowledgeable, very friendly, and clearly knows the community and the surrounding area well. The community itself is newly remodeled and beautifully done — everything was clean, well-kept, and even smelled great. Every staff member I encountered was smiling and took the time to say hello, which really stood out. Overall, it felt welcoming, well-run, and thoughtfully maintained.
