After researching several senior communities and visiting many of them, my brother chose Merrill Gardens at West Chester. Alyssa was wonderful - she led us through two separate and comprehensive tours of the community and patiently and completely answered all of our questions. She and the overall community were welcoming, vibrant and friendly and my brother felt very comfortable. While there are a number of good senior communities in the West Chester area, Merrill Gardens stood out. Fast forward a month and my brother is loving being part of the Merrill Gardens community - the staff is great, the amenities are top notch and he raves about the food! We heartily recommend Merrill Gardens for senior personal care and independent living.

Alyssa was absolutely fantastic—she gave an extensive tour and took the time to highlight all the features that make Merrill Gardens stand out. From the warm, welcoming atmosphere to the beautifully maintained facilities and impressive list of amenities, everything was top-notch. It’s clear that the staff truly care about the residents' well-being and quality of life. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, engaging, and compassionate environment for their loved ones!

After touring Merrill Gardens in WC with Alyssa, it became evident that this lovely community would be the perfect fit for my father and his needs. The community is a perfect size with many first-class amenities that clearly set it apart from other retirement communities in our area. But the most notable (and most important) factor was the kindness and friendliness from all the staff we encountered. We moved my father from his beloved home into Merrill Gardens a few months ago. Change is hard, no way around that. Thankfully, the entire team at Merrill Gardens understood this and were extremely supportive and communicative throughout the process. It has been 2 months since my father moved in. He is happy in his new home, and I have a sense of relief knowing that he’s in good hands.

I had the pleasure of touring Merrill Gardens-West Chester with Alyssa, and I was immediately struck by the warm, inviting atmosphere. The 'neighborhood' feel with the brick hallway, diner, movie theater, pub, game room, and post office was unlike anything I've ever seen in a senior living community. Garden House, Merrill Gardens memory care unit, left a lasting impression on me. Theresa and the entire staff were absolutely remarkable. The gentleness and genuine understanding they showed towards each resident were so moving. You could tell they weren't just doing a job; they were truly caring for each individual with compassion and respect. It was clear that they understood the unique needs of each resident and treated them with such dignity. It's so reassuring to know that places like this exist, where seniors are treated with such warmth and kindness. If you're looking for a place that feels like home and where your loved ones will be genuinely cared for, Merrill Gardens-West Chester is definitely worth considering.
