Merrill Gardens at Sheldon Park

I wanna talk about Sheldon park at Merrill gardens, it's a wonderful experience, we have a wonderful staff with experience of over 20 years. I've gotten to know a lot of the residents and many of them have become like family. Some of the things that are available to the residents is that we have a really good exercise program, there are a lot of activities available to the residents. Another thing that we have here, is incredible entertainment, all the way from comedians to dancers. The hosanna dance company comes in where we have a chance to see them from very young ages to teenagers, they like to come back every year, another special entertainment that we have had was the Springfield mariachi band, they play the guitar and they sing, with a trumpet player and we like them so much we hope to get them to come back in September. I do want to just say that Merrill gardens is the best facilities around, there is no other facilities like this one, they have good care team that helps us if we are need and keeps us very safe at this facility. This facility is absolutely spotless, in fact that was the first thing that attracted me to Merrill gardens, the Cleanliness is immaculate. We have a lot of new people that come to this facility and it's a chance to get to know them, we also have ambassador residents that get together with new residents to help them make the new adjustment, often coming from their homes to Merrill gardens. I can say new people can make an easy adjustment. I can surely say that it is a joy to be at Sheldon park Merrill gardens.

As a senior living advisor in the Eugene-Springfield area, I had the opportunity to place many of my clients at Merrill Gardens. Deciding to move from home into a senior care community is not easy. It is both a physical and an emotional change, and it can be overwhelming and stressful. The team at Merrill Gardens is wonderful to work with, as they are knowledgeable, compassionate, and attentive. They make every effort to help my clients (and every other resident) achieve the smoothest possible transition. The report I get from my clients and their families after the move is always positive.

I’ve been very happy with my dad’s experience here so far. The staff is wonderful. Everyone we’ve encountered has been friendly, helpful, and genuinely kind. The facility itself is really nice and very clean, and his room has everything he needs to be comfortable. There are also lots of activities available, which has been great for keeping him engaged and involved. The food is honestly good, I know this firsthand because I’ve been joining him for lunch. Overall, it’s been a very positive experience, and we feel good knowing he’s well cared for.

My husband and I have been at Merrill Gardens now for about a month and are very pleased with the accommodations, the service and care from the staff. All are friendly and respond immediately to any question or concern that might arise. It has been an adjustment but made easy by those in charge. We are pleased to have chosen Merrill Gardens over other facilities we had toured.
