I love walking into Merrill Gardens at the University! The lobby is always so bright and welcoming—it truly sets the tone for the entire community. Dakota, the Concierge, is consistently kind, helpful, and a joy to interact with. There’s a wonderful sense of energy here, with frequent events and activities that make the place feel alive and engaging. The last one I attended featured a dance troupe from Canada—it was fantastic! It’s clear that a lot of care and thought goes into making life here vibrant and fulfilling for the residents. Highly recommend Merrill Gardens for anyone looking for a warm, active, and well-run community!

My family is very grateful to the team at Merrill Gardens Ravenna for their caring and welcoming staff. My mom has been enjoying life there for two years, and we love visiting her in this homey atmosphere. Her apartment allows her a sense of autonomy and privacy, and there are plenty of opportunities to engage with other residents for a meal together or planned activities. One of our favorite features is the central courtyard, where she goes for daily walks and enjoys sitting in the sun. The care team who provide medication support are always kind and respectful. The initial move was easily accomplished, as the Merrill team provided assistance and support. It is wonderful to visit Mom here, as we know she has excellent care, and everything she needs each day.

My mother joined this community last July and was apprehensive about leaving her home of sixty years after my father passed. She has happily adjusted well and has met many other residents who have led quite interesting lives! The staff is wonderful, attentive and patient. They truly seem devoted to the community there. The only complaint she has is that the food can be hit or miss. But she always liked to cook, so that is somewhat understandable. For my part, I am happy she is safe and closer to me, rather than a bridge away!! I feel very good about her care there.
