    I was surprised to read the summary review above. My mother was there for the last 5 years of her life. She loved it there! Her room was on the east side of the building and she loved hearing the happy sounds of children playing. The manager there, Lori Hansen, is extraordinary, and particularly kept the residents safe during Covid. The staff have hearts of gold and were attentive and very kind to my mother - they became like family to us. As noted, the meals are all individually made to order and the wonderful chef, Aaron, even solicits new recipes from residents that they would like to have served. I can't say enough about Marina, the exercise coach, Kelly, the head nurse, and Kimberley, the hairdresser, too. The night staff, Jane and Oscar, were particularly kind and loving to my mother and she was always telling my brother and I how much she appreciated them. Of course, anyone can find something to complain about anywhere, but it is possible to be very, very happy here.

    My family relocated my mom to Merrill Gardens Bankers Hill four years ago, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. From the moment she arrived the staff were welcoming and compassionate. The facility is beautifully designed and maintained, with lots of activities to keep the residents engaged. The Care Director has been incredibly helpful in developing a care plan for my mom, and everyone on staff has gone above and beyond to make sure she feels safe and respected. We highly recommend Merrill Gardens as an amazing place to live!
