Merrill Gardens at the University

My mother has called Merrill Gardens at The University her home for the past 6 years. She loves the community, her apartment, and the dining options. The staff go above and beyond to create a warm and welcoming environment for her visitors, to include her children and grandchildren. One staff member in particular, Naomi Hirsch, is exceptional. She is caring, smart, and sharp witted. Naomi gets things done! I would be remiss if I didn't mention the stellar kitchen and dining staff, shepherded by head chef Ricky. Two thumbs up!

This is a wonderful community for seniors who are independent or need assisted living. It is a vibrant community with many activities and scheduled outings. The staff are wonderful, they not only know the residents but also the family members who visit regularly. They host fun celebrations almost monthly for different holidays or just for fun. The care staff has been supportive and kind to my parent who needs assisted living care. We are in regular communication with the nurse and the staff. When issues arise we can always talk with them and they work really hard with the resident and family to resolve issues and problem solve with the family to provide care with dignity for the resident. Note that if you are looking for memory care or need significant assisted living (two person transfer) that level of care is not provided.

Really vibrant community of people with lots of great activities for the residents.

This place is an absolute delight! The staff here is outstanding, always going above and beyond for their residents.
