  • My review of Merrill Gardens at Madison

    Merrill Gardens is having a hard time keeping a steady staff team like we assume a lot of other communities are struggling with, but that has made the meals and dining service a little slower. However, the activities are exceptional, our loved one has so many opportunities to get involved. She loves playing bridge, other card games and bingo. Another huge deal for us is there "free shuttle" service that takes them to and from doctors appointments. Sometimes the residents may have to wait, but it was given us a huge relief and it i very convenient.

  • Our experience with Merrill Gardens

    The tour was great but then after getting things settled, they told us he was not able to come because of some open wounds that he had. My aunt ended up moving her stuff in and then fell and we had to move it all out and I will say they were helpful during all of that. I would tell others to make sure to find out what the assisted living rules are before moving your loved on into here.
