From the moment we walked in the doors it was evident to my sister and I that we had entered not just an apartment complex, but a loving and cared for home. The facility is gorgeous, offers amazing amenities, and is very clean, but what stood out most were the people. As we toured the building, every staff member greeted us with a friendly smile and hello which you may expect, but what we noticed more was how happy and friendly the residents were.<br>When speaking with various people we learned that many have lived at MG for years and they all shared their positive experiences.<br>A few weeks later our dad moved in to a beautiful apartment and we are so happy that he is in safe place surrounded by genuine, caring people who look out for his best interests.<br>If you are looking for a new home for you or a loved one, I highly recommend the Auburn Merrill Gardens.

We love it here! First thing we noticed when we came to visit was the friendliness of the staff & the residents. Both made us feel so welcome, like a big hug. Still feel that way. It ticked all the important boxes like living space, amenities, etc. There are lots of activities, that you can do if you choose. Free weekly entertainment, outings & so much more! But the big seller was the way everyone treats others with respect, kindness & care.

My father moved into MG Auburn this summer and every person starting with Kelsey and every person we have had contact with have been incredibly helpful, loving and supportive of my dad. We are grateful beyond words for the community that now surrounds him. They are warm and supportive and it gives my siblings and I a lot of comfort to know he is in such a wonderful place. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts! Jani Holyan, Jennifer Reedy and Darin Reedy.

One of the first things that is impossible to miss when you walk into this community is people gathering. Friends talking and neighbors connecting. I was warmly greeted by a front desk receptionist (I believe Jackie is her name) and given a tour of this community by the amazing Kelsey. It was warm, it was friendly, it felt like a brand-new community but in the heart of Auburn.<br><br>I don't think I could have had a better experience. Excited to come back and visit again!

Washington asks us to share this statement and gather a short intake first

Read the statement, add what you can below (a few words each, all optional), and Send signs it with the name you entered.

Washington disclosure statement, dated October 23, 2026, under the Elder and Vulnerable Adult Referral Agency Act (RCW 18.330).

(a) Agency: MyLivingChoice LLC (MyLivingChoice.com), 8705 N. Cypress Ct, Kansas City, MO 64156, (816) 226-7772.

(b) Client: the person sending this request.

(c) Fees: you pay us nothing. If you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee computed as a percentage of your first month's rent and care charges, invoiced to the community after you move in. If you ask, we will tell you the amount of the fee for any community we refer you to.

(d) Services: MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps families find senior living. We gather a short intake about the care needed, suggest communities that appear able to meet those needs, and introduce you to the ones you choose. For you specifically, we will introduce you to Merrill Gardens at Auburn and share with it your name, contact details and the care needs you described, nothing more.

(e) We will never ask you to waive any claim for loss of personal property or injury, or any right you have under state or federal law.

(f) We work with both you and the community in the same transaction: the community pays us, and we are introducing you to it. To obtain or share confidential health care information about the person who needs care we need your authorization, which you give for the communities named above by acknowledging this statement.

(g) Tours: we do not tour communities as a matter of course. Our information comes from the community itself, its state licence record and public sources. We have not toured Merrill Gardens at Auburn.

(h) You may stop using our service, or switch to another referral agency, at any time and for any reason, with no penalty and no cancellation fee.

(i) Refunds: because you pay us nothing, there is nothing to refund to you. If a community pays us a fee for your placement and the resident dies, is hospitalized or moves to another setting for more appropriate care within the first thirty days after admission, we refund the community a prorated share of the fee for the days not used, as RCW 18.330.090 requires.
