This was my whole experience visiting this office where seniors leave independently and the receptionist name Mary Jone is an incredible in first impression. She welcomed me warmly right as I walked through the door. She assisted me with everything I needed, patiently guided me through the sign-in process, and answered all my questions with absolute respect. Her professionalism completely set the tone for a great visit. Highly recommend!

Our sibling has resided at Merrill Gardens Burien for over three years and we are extremely grateful to the professional staff members for their care, their compassion, and equally so, their character. From day one and every day since, they go above and beyond, regardless of their respective job titles -and- always with a smile!<br>Many thanks to Jace, Mary Jane ("MJ"), Banesa, Christy, Gabrielle ("Gabby"), Lorel, Lula, Lydia, Robert, Robie, Robyn, and Trevor. They're simply extraordinary.
