A great place

It is a great place, we are very happy with it. I think they are a 5 on everything. My mother is very happy there and very well cared for. It is a huge improvement over her previous facility. Most of the staff, an administrative. Personnel have been there long-term, which adds to greater stability for the care of the residents. The place also has just a wonderful feel to it, and it's very welcoming.

Vacation lodge not nursing home

Nothing is more precious than one’s mother, nor more scary than selecting a facility for independent living or assisted living Or memory care. It is an endeavor to uncover the best economic decision that provides an ambience that you would want to personally move. I hope you have a tour with a staff member that takes the time to get know your needs for your parent, asks about what your parent is like, can reflect with you on building an mission for what care you want your parent to receive, and has a really neat personality. [name removed] was that person for me. You can view the property and pictures on their web pages age. What you can’t get is the community spirit and engaging interactions. We spent more time at this facility than other places as the interest in getting to know my parent was that important to [name removed]. When it came to the end of the tour we understood that caring for my mom would be their main interest. Thank you ??

Very Impressed

The staff at Merrill Gardens goes above and beyond no matter what their positions are. Having open meal times being able to eat when they're ready huge benefit care levels are fair.

Safe and Supported

The care at Merrill Gardens is exceptional. When my dad passed they cared for him and for us in such an exceptional way. My mom is now there on her own and feels safe and supported. The fee system is opaque and virtually impossible to understand but worth the work for such a wonderful and caring environment.

Excellent community!!!

Our mother has been in MG for about 4 months. She was in another community for about a year, and that experience was absolutely awful. MG has been everything we hoped for. The staff is incredibly responsive and caring. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

Just Sad, my overall experience went from 5 to 1 star

After almost 5 years at this facility, with many positive experiences on both the assisted living and memory care facilities. I can say how our experience ended is heartbreaking and not what I expected from management. My mom passed, and dad was moved to memory care. As his dementia progressed, rather quickly, he became wheelchair bound, non verbal and needed extra assistance moving to and from his bed. He continued to feed himself, and enjoyed his simple life. I was paying a large sum for his services, but was told, out of the blue, I needed to find a new home for my 96yr old, WWII Vet, dad. The contract nowhere says a 2-3 person assist is reason for discharge. On the Merrill Garden website it states. YOUR NEEDS MAY CHANGE OVERTIME, BUT WE BELIEVE YOUR HOME SHOULDNT HAVE TO. After talks with management, they tried to make this wrong a right, when the discussion for care should’ve been their first course of action, verses, you need to find a new place, lacking compassion.

Do not send your family member here!

Unless you have unlimited resources, they present a nice shiny picture when you go in however, after your loved member is there they don’t do what they say they’re going to do and they double the bill and then claim it’s correct and don’t even explain themselves they just say pay it This has been a horrible seven months. since my mother arrived there she has been hospitalized no less than seven times. Meanwhile, she had not been hospitalized even once in the prior two years, my sister and myself who were the local family members assisting, have been severely adversely affected physically and financially, by this, and I myself at the moment and sitting in ICU, and just received a bill for $[removed] monthly rent instead of the [removed] without prior notice , so there you go unless you have unlimited resources and want to get ripped off don’t go to Merrill Gardens

our families experience, friendly and caring staff, would recommend

The people were great and worked with us to quickly get them in. The administrative team were great. Nurse head was 30-40 minutes late to the evaluation. Our loved ones overall like the meals and dining service. The community however is all expensive but we would absolutely recommend Merrill Gardens at Woodstock to other families based on the experience we have had

perfect fit for my mom where assisted living feels like independent living!

We really like that we have easy access to our loved one, they have a lot of open areas and we like the anytime dining. Also that independent and assisted living are intermingled so our loved ones feels like she lives independently, even though she received level 2 assisted living. The value for the money is a 5+.

Highly recommended

What is really great about Merrill Gardens at Woodstock was they have larger apartments then most. That gave us ability to move more of his personal belongings in and make it feel more like home. Residents also have the ability to eat when they are hungry, there is no set time for lunch or dinner and you can go down whenever they please. It is very nice not having a schedule, especially with his memory issues. Their common areas are very tightly intermingled so it keeps everybody out and about. You come off the elevator and there a large living area with a fireplace and ranges over to a place where people are doing puzzles and things like that. If loved ones come to visit you are able to stay at the facility. There is just so much freedom which makes it stick out from other places. I would absolutely recommend them to others looking, I would move in here myself.

Can't recommend it enough!

They've been wonderful to work with. We were in pretty dire need of finding a place for my grandma. It was an emergency situation and they've been so amazing. They have gone above and beyond to make this an easy process for her and our family. They made her feel welcome as soon as she got there, so she really felt at home since day one and that's all you can ask for. We fully trust them, we love that they're close by and we love that she likes where she is. If anyone is considering Merrill Gardens at Woodstock, I can only recommend it!

Facility beautiful, care lacking

The facility very nice, however the care services were completely lacking. The first day our loved one moved in no one came to her room until the afternoon and that was after she pressed the help call button. We told them she needed help with her medication, they thought she could do it independently which resulted in her running out of her medicine way to quickly. The place is very nice and the people are nice, but the care was non existent.
