Exceptional

My mother was only there for three months, as she passed away in September. During the three months she was there, the staff took great care of her. Merrill Gardens is beautiful and well maintained. Everyone who works there is caring and communicative with the family.

So glad we found Merrill Gardens for our parents

We have been looking for an assisted living facility for my parents for quite some time. We looked at many places but knew we were at home when we walked into Merrill Gardens and were greeted by wonderful staff. We had to move my dad in earlier than my mom, and they provided the extra services he needed. The place is beautiful, and we love how they decorate for the holidays. We are excited that my parents have started to get to know other people, especially other couples, and that there are so many activities they can get involved in throughout the week. We strongly suggest you visit Merrill Gardens if you are searching for a friendly, bright environment whose staff truly cares for its residents.

Answered Prayer - First Class Living for Mom

Mom has been residing here at Merrill Gardens for a couple of months now. I want to take a moment to thank the staff for making Mom and her loved ones feel so welcomed here. I feel so blessed that we have found such a wonderful place for Mom to be able to call home. She has been so impressed with the facilities, staff, meals, activities and the list goes on and on. The food here is great, we often find ourselves joining her for dinner at the facility restaurant. I honestly cannot think of any negative feedback, everything is 100% awesome. I can highly recommend Merrill Garden with no reservations, and I consider this a must-see place to bring your loved one. We are truly so thankful we have found you.

A wonderful and safe place for your loved one

The staff is very friendly, they also make a very special effort to get to know each resident , there needs and family members personally. We have always felt very welcomed, and have seen the personal help and needs to the residents. As far as the food goes, they did have a meeting with the staff and residents to work on this. It is very pricey, but she's very happy there so you can't put a price on that.

Merrill Gardens at Rancho Cucamonga review

The public bathrooms weren't cleaned enough and not enough attention to details (corners of the floor etc). Some of the staff went above and beyond to be helpful. My mom needed a little more assistance toward the end and they weren't allowed to help with bandages. They did help her with laundering some larger items such as blankets. The dining room was very nice but my mom often complained that the food was never hot. They had lists of activities daily even though my mom wouldn't participate in them. She only liked to go to a weekly Deals and Steals event. I visited several places before choosing Merrill Gardens, and my mom had the same basic cost (other than adding additional assistance in the last 6 months) as when she initially moved in. They were raising their prices when she passed. The management was accommodating with my mom's request to host a few friends for Happy Hour in the common space living room on Fridays (outside guests). I hosted a staff lunch when she passed to thank them.

Home sweet Home!

Have been extremely HAPPY with our choice of Merrill Gardens at Rancho Cucamonga. From touring, applying, moving in, and follow-up- the staff was exceptional!! Likewise, they listened to the different needs to ensure that they took the best "action steps" for a quality of life of our dear one. The facility, dining, activities, etc. are thoughtfully constructed with the goal of making these years enjoyable, productive, and rewarding!

We love Merrill Gardens at Rancho Cucamonga! My mother-in-law is so happy here. The staff is so loving and helpful. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The care services, activities and food are also great. In fact, I now have my mother moving into Merrill Gardens at Rancho Cucamonga this week. We will now have both moms in the area, one in a studio apartment and one in a one bedroom apartment, just a two minute drive away from me. I would recommend this facility to others.

A Good Place to be

The experience with the community has been very good. They seem to have a lot of activities and a very friendly Activities Director. My mom doesn't want to participate in much. The staff gets to know the families and are helpful and patient. We moved my mom to a different room from her original assignment and the staff was pretty good about working with us. The rooms have nice views with patios or balconies in all rooms.

Great experience, highly recommend

Our family lives out of state and the staff were very helpful in getting the paperwork in order and getting things figured out so that he could move in. They were very forthcoming about any charges and there were never any surprises which was nice. I would definitely recommend Merrill Gardens to other families.

It's pretty nice here. With Covid, it could be a lot better. There are no activities at all right now. I think in the long run it will get better, but right now it's not the best. The food is off and on - sometimes it's good, then other times not. But the staff are very good. They're very nice and helpful. And my apartment is very good as well.
