Memory Care is a low priority part of business

Low priority part of the business for memory care. Dad was there 4 months and as a family of 8 adult children, we witnessed poor operations of this part of the business. Dirty rooms/bathrooms, poor food quality with long wait period serving especially on weekends at dinner. Questionable practices regarding staffing at night and weekends. Use of agency personal at those times or staff working double shifts. Many safety issues as staff was stretched at nights and weekends to support needs of residents. Will not go into detail in this review but know that the sale part and tour do not line up with the reality of what happens. Corporate decisions far removed from what is right for residents. Staff training minimal and was clearly an issue once on floor with residents.

A true new start

Issues on arrival with people unaware and she then fell with us finding her on the floor. All resolved and great care. Would recommend for placement. Mom loved it and said she would recommend to anyone. She did not love it initially as giving up your home is difficult but the joy she had with her new friends was beyond compare.

Was just impressed with everything. Cleanliness, the diner aspect and the movie theater are a nice attraction as well as the area upstairs outside.

Great Independent and Assisted Living Community!

The front desk staff is amazing and helpful with everything. The prescription management is my only concern. Communication and dispensing of medication needs to be monitored and followed up often.

AMAZING

Sometimes life requires people to move fast, in our case 10 days fast! We can't express how happy we are with our experience at Merrill Gardens at Glenn Mills.[name removed] was professional, kind and compassionate to our family's unique situation which included a super quick transition to assisted living for our mom. My brother and I live out of state; thanks to [name removed] we were able to set everything up through emails and texts 5 days prior to her move-in date! [name removed] communicated with us daily so we would have a smooth transition, and we cannot thank her enough. The staff at Merrill Gardens are top notch and really care about the residents. Everyone made mom feel welcome right away, she has been living there for only 3 weeks and is happily enjoying her daily activities. Moving to Merrill Gardens at Glen Mills has greatly improved her quality of life and it's a blessing for us to know she is happy and in such good hands. We love hearing her talk about her day every evening. The ma

Great place for Mom!

This week will be a month since we moved my Mom into Merrill Gardens at Glen Mills. From the initial contact (just collecting info), to our initial tour, to moving Mom in…everyone has been so helpful and nice. [name removed] was amazing, answering all my questions and following up with me thru out the process. I wanted to keep Mom with me but was unable to due to her dementia. [name removed] knew I struggled with this and several times contacted me to see if I was ok. The residents there are all so very nice, a few noticed my mom eating alone in the dining room her first night and they brought her to their table, thru now have dinner together every night! The facility itself is amazing (diner, dining room, theater, craft rooms, terrace, pub, game room, exercise room)..sooo much to do. There are activities all day long and entertainment all the time and daily movies in the theater. The nurses and aides are all so very nice and I appreciate them checking on Mom. My mom is happy and so am I!

The Caregivers are good. I've only one or two issues at night. But, other than that, they are very good and I would recommend Merrill Gardens at Glen Mills to other families who may need a place for their loved ones

Grateful for Merrill Gardens!

Seriously, OUTSTANDING. When mom was living alone she barely took care of herself. My brother was 45 minutes away and I was 1 hour away. He visited one weekend and I visited the other and back and forth. Now mom has people checking in on her every hour, making sure she takes her meds, eats 3 meals a day, gets her bathed and so on and so on. Jokingly, if I had 10 hands, Merrill Gardens would get 10 thumbs up. Mom is now only 8-10 minutes away from me and I visit at least 3 times a week. I see first hand how well she is being taken care of. I like the on site Dr's office and physical therapy available to the residents. Highly and I mean HIGHLY recommend Merrill Gardens to anyone.

Mom loved it here! They are very helpful from start to finish. Mom has made friends and is comfortable there. I feel better knowing she is safe. They have safety measures in place for all. Couldn't be happier.

Short staffed all around. They need more variety on the food menu and need to have better-quality foods.

Friendly residents!

We really love it here! The main thing I love about this is it has FRIENDLY RESIDENTS!! The reason there were a few low scored is because a substitute nursing agency works at night and they did not take precautions and she fell. My family goes to the facility almost every day. You need to be in there often especially in the beginning to get to know the staff so they know your loved ones needs.

Memory Care unit is amazing

My husband has been at Merrill Gardens in Glen Mills in the Memory Care unit for almost six months. This is the second facility he has been in and I could not be more pleased with the care here. The residents are well cared for and kept busy with activities every day. There is a family feeling to the unit and all residents and guests are treated with respect. The unit is clean and brightly lit projecting a happy atmosphere. The food is plentiful and there is a lot of variety. From the moment you enter the building everyone is helpful and friendly, staff and residents alike. The facility itself is beautiful and offers many opportunities for all residents. Highly recommended!
