Wonderful staff and good food. My mother is so happy there. Update after one year - Even better than I could have hoped for. She has had several falls and the staff is right on it. Great coordination with them. She really likes the food and the facility is very well run. This was the best choice I ever made.

My mother moved in to Merrill Gardens in Monterey a few months ago. She was so apprehensive to make this move; it’s so difficult to move to the unknown at her age. Well, let me tell you, she is a new person! She has not been so happy in years! She is so busy with activities and has made great friends! Merrill Gardens has brought a new lease on life for her.

My mother has become adjusted to her new home, it took about a month. She is in the Memory Care unit. The people are very helpful, patient and kind. They also do a good job on the food, better than the typical hospital.🤭

We moved my mom to Merrill Gardens this year and we were worried about the transition into assisted living for her. Everything has been amazing here at Merrill Gardens Monterey. From Maureen who showed us around and is so caring and compassionate, to Lucy and Kathy at the Front Desk always greeting us with a smile, to the amazing Chef and staff that prepare food and serve it with a smile. The Med Techs and Housekeeping are always on time and available whenever needed. The Activities provided from Balance Classes to Seated Volleyball, Swimming etc. Tiffaney the Manager communicates and gets back to me whenever I have any questions. Its just such a great place filled with great people who care for our loved ones. I am truly grateful to have this place in Monterey!
