    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!
