Merrill Gardens at Woodstock

I love this place. My mom has lived there for over 2 year.s The staff truly cares for and loves the residents The activities director and community relations director are wonderful! The Memory Care (Garden House) director ~ Susan is exceptional. She and her staff take care of my mom like she's their own. You cannot put a price tag on good care, a beautiful facility and caring staff.

Paula is just THE BEST!!!! She is so engaged with the Residents and has JOY on her face daily!

From the minute you walk through the doors of Merrill Gardens, you feel welcome and 'at home'. The open layout of the meeting areas encourages the residents to meet with friends and staff, play games, read books in the Book Nook, eat meals (at any time with their 'all day eating' concept), exercise, and so much more. Smiling faces of the staff are always there to greet you, help you, or just chat with you. The apartments are spacious and comfortable. The health and happiness of each resident is their primary concern. Family members are always welcome and kept informed and know that the health, safety and well-being of their family member are Merrill Gardens' top priorities. Unlike most assisted living residences that can feel cold and impersonal, Merrill Gardens feels more like a home surrounded by friends and family. I am very grateful that my mother has been a resident from the day it opened. Knowing that my mother is in a safe and loving environment is very comforting and a precious gift to her and to me that just keeps on giving.

I've worked at Merrill Gardens for almost a year now and the best thing about it by far is the residents. They brighten your day and seem genuinely happy living at MG. The staff treats the residents like family and the residents treat the staff like gold. MG is a safe, friendly, and fun place.
