We've chosen Merrill Gardens at Woodstock for my mom. They have a beautiful walking path that goes around the building, and they have a nice courtyard. Their apartments were amazing. The kitchen has an island that actually lowers down to where it can be a normal table size. The staff is incredible. They encourage their residents to be ambassadors who help the new residents get acclimated to the place, and they are all amazing. When you go in, the atmosphere is just so different from so many other places. You go in and everybody is doing stuff. They have volunteers coming in and playing cards with them. Their library is amazing. They're just a step above everyone else.

Facility is new and fancy and looks good on the surface. However, if assistance is needed, the care provided is not adequate for residents' needs. If a resident's medical condition changes during residence, the care does not adapt to needs. This is definitely not the place to be if assistance needs change. Costs can increase dramatically without notification to residents. Residents are not treated with respect. Residents are discouraged from participation in activities. Some of the staff are downright mean. Overcharging for services not rendered is a huge problem at Merrill Gardens.

We moved Mom last weekend to Merrill Gardens at Woodstock. It's a beautiful place with friendly people. They have excellent food and everything looks great. When you come in the door, there's the greeting place on the left with the receptionist, and to the right is where the mailboxes are and a little further down, there's a library as well as a small movie theater. They have a workout and exercise area. Once a week, a hairdresser comes in. On the other side, there's a piano bar and also a bistro for coffee and tea. There's a very large and nice eating area. The food is excellent and delicious. My mom's room is quite large for the amount of money we're paying, and it's well-equipped with a washer and dryer, a two burner stove, microwave, sink, kitchenette area, full-size refrigerator. and a large bathroom. It's a very nice place. It's spotless and smells good. They have a nice courtyard area in the middle, and a fully concrete walking path all the way around if you want to get some exercise. They have daily activities posted on the elevator and around the dining area, usually four to five activities, most of which you don't even have to leave the building for. They have cards, people come in to do mini performances in the piano bar, all kinds of good stuff. It's a great value for the price.

I visited Merrill Gardens, and it was fairly new. I was very impressed with the facility, the people, and the services. The staff who toured me around was outstanding, and she did an excellent job. The rooms were on the small side, and I would have to select a 2-bedroom; however, the price is outrageous. The location is very nice; it's quieter and has less traffic.

Merrill Gardens is great, and my mom in law will move in tomorrow; everything is setup for her to go. There’s room for interaction with other residents and the staff. We went between the time when they were still eating, and the people were very friendly. It’s a beautiful place. The garden is very good to look at the glass windows and see the gardens; that was a big thing with us.

Merrill Gardens had the nicest place because it was brand new. They didn’t have covered parking, but more importantly, they didn’t have provisions for plugging in an electric car, which I drive. I saw them on a rainy day, so I didn’t go out, but it was a big facility. You can look out the window and you’re not up against a commercial neighborhood. The first tenants were moving in because they have only been open for a couple of weeks. They were starting to have activities, but I didn’t see anything in progress because it was so new. They were very good, but they don’t fit my specific needs.

Merrill Gardens at Woodstock is new, fresh, clean, and well-lit. They focus on independence rather than assistance, although assistance is there if you need it, so they’ve got a well-rounded program. The staff is great, very attentive, and extremely friendly. The food is delicious, and the dining room is restaurant-style and very nice with white tablecloths. My mom participates in activities. They make ornaments, decorate cupcakes, or bake banana bread. They have different activities every day.
