a great place, happy with our choice","reviewContent":"I only have a few complaints after Covid this place has been short of staff. I don't get phone calls that I'm supposed to get them. Mom was in a car accident and Merrill Gardens contacted me a day later, and it was the head nurse who called me the day after \"to follow up\" not knowing I had no idea mom was in a car accident.The head nurse was shocked that I was not called the day of the accident that was a little upsetting. Also, when Mom has been admitted to the hospital at times, and I didn't know she was in the hospital, but all I knew is she was not answering her phone I would call the front desk looking for Mom at Merrill Gardens.They would say they didn't know where she was and not offer any kind of help except that will try to call me back. When Mom first moved in there, it was great, but I think Covid is really damaged this place. They're going up on their prices doubling\n tripling. Mom has lost many friends because they had to move into their own apartments not being able to afford the prices. That might be out of their control. I don't know mom's lucky that she has the money to be able to stay there. Also, Mom is reported that they don't offer healthy menu options. It's a lot of spicy food with no other options. Maybe a side dish option high fat, lots of salt and butter. Mom won't leave because of the friends that she has made and at her age she says she doesn't have the energy to move and it's not that bad and she has figured how to cope with some of the shortcomings of Merrill Gardens. She does report that they have great activities that and she seems to be having fun with her friends. I believe that they are just struggling because of Covid they really have the best intentions\nIt is a beautiful facility and all the residents there do seem happy and it doesn't smell bad when I go in there and like I said they have a lot of great activities.","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Highly recommend ","reviewContent":"I would pop in and some places wanted you to have an appt or it wasn't clean. MG had no issue with me popping in at any time and I was never disappointed. They answered all my questions and more as I thought of things. It doesn't matter what time of the day you drop in to visit there's always friendly faces, clean smell and elderly people living there having a good time.\n","reviewerDisplayName":"Marcia H","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Merrill Gardens of Madison","reviewContent":"Mom has been living at Merrill Gardens a little over a month. She is really enjoying all the activities offered and typically gets involved in at least one or two a day. Food choices and the quality of the meals is exceptional. Staff has gone above and beyond to provide a great experience for all their residents. Leaving home is a very difficult decision but Merrill Gardens has made the transition much easier.
