My parents are slowly moving out of Merrill Gardens at Tacoma, so I was there last night. The independent living cottages are beautiful and spacious and like a home. It's more like you have your own house. I never was in an apartment, but my parents chose not to move into the assisted living apartments because they said that they were too small. They also said that the people were ruder. The employees were not as nice and friendly. My parents were independent. The facilities are beautiful, but with the maintenance, you could not get anything maintained. Like I ended up fixing their shower myself because they couldn't get it fixed and the shower is pretty important. For independent care, as you age, it didn't accommodate for that. My parents are physically capable in a lot of ways, but getting in and out of the shower was difficult for them, and there was a huge step to the front door and there was a big couple of steps from the deck, which is just not good for elderly people. You have to be a very healthy, independent to live there. Their food was great, so we loved the food. They had a fitness room and I think my parents were allowed to go there to work out. They had a movie night and that was about it. Independent living didn't offer you many things because you are independent, but they lacked more social activities.

The staff at Merrill Gardens at Tacoma was very friendly. I checked the menu and It looked very balanced in that they provided good nutrition. We were not able to tour the facility itself due to the Covid times, so that was limited. It had a very noisy street that it was on, so my sister did not like the noise of traffic. The lobby was nice, but we didn't go into any of the other buildings. The place was more of an apartment than it was a home.

Merrill Gardens at Tacoma was beautiful. They were a little sloppy with the money; one person told us one thing, and then, another person told us another thing. For what they offered, their price was reasonable. It was a very nice place.

We really liked Merrill Gardens at Tacoma. It had very nice, neat gardens and beautiful landscaping. The cottages were really well kept, and the main lodge was beautiful. We really liked that area. It was perfect for us because we were looking for independent for the first few years, and then later move on to assisted living. The cottage was very nice, exactly what we were looking for, at 1,400 square feet with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two-car garage. It really hit the spot with that one. They had an exercise room, a game room, and a very nice restaurant open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and you can go in anytime and order anything you want. We dealt with two people who were very nice. I would recommend it to anyone. The price was good, and the location was in the really nice part of Tacoma and close to a lot of things, like grocery stores, restaurants, fast-food restaurants, and lots of places were really close within walking distance.

Merill Gardens is a phenomenal facility and it is sparkling clean. The have beautiful rooms. I was ready to move in there to one of their studio apartments. They were building a brand new memory care facility which I looked at and I even picked out an apartment there and then they told me how much it's going to cost to move in, $20,000 which was the first month's rent and the buy-in but that was way beyond my means.
