Two years ago we decided it was time for our parents to look into independent/assisted living. We had previously checked one other option before making an appointment with Merrill Gardens. I think we all knew immediately it was going to be the right choice, from the friendly welcome to the bright and well appointed rooms. 2 years later we have zero regrets on our choice. Our initial impression has only been confirmed. While mom is still currently in independent living, so not eligible for additional support, the staff has been so good to her and we feel so much better knowing she is there. Her casita is bright, new and well laid out and she as a lovely community with the other "Cottagers."

After searching for assisted living facilities my siblings and I and my parents choose Merrill Gardens at Anthem about two years ago, we made a list of the pros and cons of the different facilities, still it was a difficult decision moving them from their home, they of course didn't think it was necessary yet. My mom was 92 and my dad was 95, she was doing pretty good but my dad was not, he has since gotten much better, and my mom has made many new friends, The staff at Merrill Gardens are excellent and keep us informed when it is necessary. Wouldn't hesitate recommending Merrill Gardens to anyone, may not work for everyone but has been wonderful for my parents.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Merrill Gardens. My mom absolutely loves living there, and knowing how happy, safe, and cared for she is gives me tremendous peace of mind.<br><br>She has made so many wonderful friends and is engaged every day with activities, social events, and field trips. I’m continually impressed by how thoughtful and varied the activities are—there is always something fun and interesting happening.<br><br>The staff is exceptional. Everyone is warm, kind, caring, and genuinely treats the residents like family. Just as special is the community they have created among the residents themselves. They look out for one another, enjoy each other’s company, and truly feel like a family.<br><br>The dining is also fantastic, with an amazing variety of choices at every meal. From the food to the activities to the beautiful sense of community, every detail feels thoughtfully considered.<br><br>As a daughter, I honestly couldn’t have imagined a better place for my mom. Knowing she is surrounded by people who care about her, while living such a full, active and happy life, is priceless. Most importantly, my mom loves her life at Merrill Gardens—and that says everything.

I feel so fortunate that Merrill Gardens Is in Anthem Arizona. It is the best and exact right spot for my parents. It is independent living with some Assistance. It has a country club vibe with activities and tons of helpful resources. Initially, my parents moved in and were driving, now they are more often working with the Merrill Gardens Uber type of service. They are encouraged to go to get ready for the day and go to the dining room to eat, and it is like social hour! Of course, if they want a meal in their room, they can do that as well, and they have full kitchens in the apartments and the Casitas.<br>I love that they connect with people at each meal. Speaking of people, the people that work at Merrill are outstanding. They care about each and every resident. You can see it in their words and actions. If have time to check out this place, you will see that it is wonderful. Highly recommend!

How our free service works, and how we are paid

Arizona asks us to share this with you in writing before we introduce you to a community.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.

Arizona law requires that we provide you with the following disclosure notice.

We are in the business of referring residents to assisted living facilities and assisted living homes. We will be paid by the assisted living facility or assisted living home if you move into one of the referred assisted living facilities or assisted living homes. The fee we receive from the assisted living facility or assisted living home into which you move typically ranges from 50 to 80 percent of your first month's rent and care charges. We do have a current business relationship but we do not have a common ownership or control in, or any other financial, business, management or familial relationship with, any of the assisted living homes and assisted living facilities to which we are referring you.

By providing us with a written or electronic notice, you have the right to terminate our services to you at any time, including our use of your personal information. If you terminate our services, we will not be entitled to any fee for any move-in you make after the date of the termination notice unless either:

1. The assisted living facility or assisted living home you choose within the next twelve months is one that we specifically identify and refer to you after we evaluate your profile and requests but before we receive your notice of termination.

2. You communicate with us before you move into the assisted living facility or assisted living home.
