Merrill Gardens at Woodstock

Appreciation for Merrill Gardens In 2024, my siblings and I made the difficult decision to move our mom and dad into assisted living as their mental and physical health began to decline. It was not an easy step for our family, and we visited several communities hoping to find a place where our parents would feel safe, cared for, and at home. From the beginning, Merrill Gardens in Woodstock, Georgia gave us that sense of comfort. Their apartment was well suited to their needs, with convenient access to dining and opportunities to spend time with other residents. Just as important, the staff was kind and supportive, Mickie and her management team immediately gave us confidence that our parents would be in good hands. About a year after they moved to Merrill Gardens, it became clear that our parents needed more personal care and daily support. Because Merrill Gardens also offers memory care, we placed their names on the waiting list when we realized they would benefit from a safer, more closely supervised environment. Knowing that they could remain within the Merrill Gardens community during such an emotional transition brought our family a great deal of peace. They have now been in Memory Care for nearly a year, and we continue to be deeply grateful for the care they receive. Cheri and her staff treats both of our parents with patience, kindness, and genuine respect, and they are always welcoming to my siblings and me when we visit. Because both of our parents have dementia, it means so much to know they are being looked after with compassion and attention throughout each day. The staff even comes to their room when breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in the Memory Care dining area, making sure they are included, cared for, and never overlooked. For our family, that level of thoughtfulness has meant more than words can fully express. John, Eileen, Tom, Trish, Lynn and James

Merrill Gardens is a premier, senior living facility nestled beautifully within Woodstock Georgia. It's a community of residents, caregivers and staff that work very closely with each other. And the outcome is a very satisfied and happy group of people. It's a wonderful choice if you're looking for a home for a loved one in that part of town. But don't take my word for it, ask anyone who lives there.

I have been a resident for several years, and I have been so happy. Our two bedroom apartment was the perfect size, and it made the downsizing process much easier. Now I live in a one bedroom apartment and it is great too. Our activities are outstanding and there is something happening all the time. We have a beautiful courtyard where we have events and it’s so relaxing to just visit with friends.

I’ve been looking for an advanced care facility for my dad, and this place really stood out. The staff are so kind and truly seem to care about the residents. The atmosphere feels warm, safe, and comforting. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my dad would be surrounded by people who treat him with love and respect.
