I toured this community in March for my grandma and found it to be beautiful, vibrant, and active. Leslie led an excellent tour of the comfortable amenities, peaceful courtyard, and clean apartment homes. It is apparent that the staff care deeply for their residents and the residents are inclusive and community-driven. It feels like a close-knit community of friends. I have recommended Merrill Gardens at the University to friends and will continue to do so.

We have been extremely happy with my mother's care at Merrill Gardens. She has been there for a little over a year and we wish we had done it sooner. The care and communication is great! She is happy and has a great community.

My mother has called Merrill Gardens University her home since 2021 when she was 93 years old. She’s made so many wonderful friends among the other residents and the terrific staff and has enjoyed the variety of social activities including bridge, classes, outings, mass, special events, movies. They love to celebrate here! She recently broke her wrist and her needs for care dramatically increased. Helen, who manages the Wellness Center, and her entire staff have provided excellent service and genuinely kind assistance. They are always smiling and patiently doing hard work that my family is so grateful for. I am confident her recovery is in large part due to the help and kindness she has received. The facilities are open, bright and cheerful, and the courtyard is a highlight. But the best part of this facility is the staff, including the front desk (Naomi, Dakota, Charlyn), Leslie, the General Manager Cheyenne, the maintenance staff, and the dining staff. Everyone genuinely cares that the residents are cared for in the best possible way. They are what sets MGU apart!

My mother has called Merrill Gardens at The University her home for the past 6 years. She loves the community, her apartment, and the dining options. The staff go above and beyond to create a warm and welcoming environment for her visitors, to include her children and grandchildren. One staff member in particular, Naomi Hirsch, is exceptional. She is caring, smart, and sharp witted. Naomi gets things done! I would be remiss if I didn't mention the stellar kitchen and dining staff, shepherded by head chef Ricky. Two thumbs up!
