Merrill Gardens at ChampionsGate

Very Happy with the facilities and staff. The entire staff seems happy and truly caring of the residents.

Professional, friendly staff. Carol and Stacy were amazing helping me navigate me from out of state, transferring my father from Heart of Florida Hospital into his new apartment. The nursing staff is happy, friendly and on top of my father's daily medications. The residents are happy, kind, inclusive and all very happy to be residents, which really made me feel I made the right senior care living choice for Dad. And now in a troubling time of this virus, MG has been amazing adhering to guidelines, I feel he is in safe hands.

In preparation for my Mother's increasing need for assistance with everyday tasks, I began searching for somewhere that she and I would be comfortable and secure. After looking around the area I found Merrill Gardens at Champions Gate. Upon walking into the foyer, I was amazed at the atmosphere. It did not have the appearance of a assisted living facility at all. It appeared to be a 5 star resort! Upon entering, you hear the clanking of dishes and the smell of good food. You see many people, young and old enjoying themselves in the Cafe or Dining room as well as the upscale sitting areas. Upon meeting the staff, they were very professional and reassuring that if given the opportunity they would take great care of my Mother. Moving day came and my Mother walked in for the first time. She was afraid of what awaited her. Upon entering, her fears quickly subsided as she sat in the living room area near the foyer. She was greeted by many staff members and even the Chef, welcoming her to the Merrill Garden's family. Today, she has been there one week. I asked her if there is anything that she needed or anything to make her new home better. She replied 'not a thing', 'I am so lucky to be here.' Hearing this warmed my heart and relieved me from anymore worries or concerns regarding her happiness or safety. I know that we as a family made the right decision entrusting Merrill Gardens at Champions Gate with our most valuable asset, our Mother. Thank you Merrill Gardens... Special thanks to Staci, Carol, Chef Elgin, Sara, Ellen, Wanda, Dana, Michael, Gabby, Edgerin, Farah, Vanessa and GM Jim Hooper. We appreciate what you do and how well you do it!

Sparkling clean facility. Exceptional staff. Perfect place for my parents.
