For 2.5 months this past fall, I was actively considering moving into Merrill Gardens and was on the waiting list. During that time, Ian Mackenzie was so supportive and treated me almost as if I already lived there. He went out of his way to facilitate me meeting residents and viewing the different sizes and configurations of their apartments. The residents are friendly and welcoming. Even though I ultimately decided against assisted living, I cannot say enough good about Merrill Gardens.

We moved our mom into Merrill Gardens in Ballard this summer after looking at a few local places and are so happy with our choice. Ian Mackenzie, the Community Relations Director, was so welcoming, and obviously well liked there. He answered our endless questions, and my mom's apartment was in great shape when we moved her in. The staff is so nice (especially Denise at the front desk). The building itself is so beautifully designed inside and is so cozy and different than other senior living residences. Plus, the rooftop deck is amazing! It's a great place for design-minded, intelligent, active seniors looking for a friendly, engaged community. Lots of programming and activities, too, and within walking distance of the library, a JoAnn's, Ballard Farmers market a gorgeous yarn shop, and many other lovely stops. I highly recommend you take a look at it if you want to move a parent or your parents closer to you in Ballard, especially.

Merrill Gardens at Ballard is the most amazing senior living community we could have ever hoped to find. The staff including Ian, Vincent and the General Manager Lisa, care so much about the residents and family and do everything possible to work with you when there is any kind of issue. When we had to find a new facility because our loved one was seeking exiting issues, they worked with us to find alternative solutions. Our loved one and our family felt welcome, loved and so missed when we left. We never felt alone there. When looking at new places, nothing compared to this facility especially regarding the warmth and care of the staff and how welcome they made us all feel. This is truly a gem.
