    I recently moved my 97 year old mother into Merrill Gardens Willow Glen and I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. Everyone from the Community Relations Director to the Managing Director were so helpful, responsive, compassionate and professional throughout the entire process. Even with a lack of full staff at the time, everyone worked hard to fulfill our requests and take care of the residents. I highly recommend this facility for anyone looking for a safe and comfortable place for their loved one.
