Merrill Gardens at Renton Centre

Ive lived at Merrill Gardens for more than five years now and this is my home. I cant think of another place I would rather be. The staff is like family. They are always available to help when needed or just to chat and make you feel better. The surroundings are beautiful but comfortable. There are always friends in the large open living room either playing games or just enjoying the ambiance. The food is good and the dining room is open all day so one can eat whenever. Ive come to think of the staff and residents as my family and I love them dearly.

Don't get roped in by the new building. Poor care. My dad has been there a year and they still haven't fixed the patio door. The menu hasn't changed. This place is a poor excuse for assisted living. Don't put your relatives in this craphole.

My mother lived at Merrill Gardens Renton Centre for 11 years. It was a very good senior residence choice when she first moved in, and has has continuously improved over time. When she moved there in her early 80s she was independent, still driving, shopping, visiting family and friends, etc. She just wanted to downsize and simplify in preparation for the future.Over 11 years time, existing and future aging and medical issues would gradually slow her down and reduce her mobility and independence. But the many friendships she made over the years, both with residents and staff, sustained her quality of living.She passed recently, but was able to stay in familiar surroundings in her apartment through hospice care. The care and support given by the remarkable staff during this difficult time, from top to bottom, was amazing. We are grateful to all the staff at Merrill Gardens for the dedication and compassion, and love, that they consistently bring to work every day. They richly deserve a Five Star rating.

Wonderful Easter Brunch!
