As a senior living advisor in the Eugene-Springfield area, I had the opportunity to place many of my clients at Merrill Gardens. Deciding to move from home into a senior care community is not easy. It is both a physical and an emotional change, and it can be overwhelming and stressful. The team at Merrill Gardens is wonderful to work with, as they are knowledgeable, compassionate, and attentive. They make every effort to help my clients (and every other resident) achieve the smoothest possible transition. The report I get from my clients and their families after the move is always positive.

My husband and I have been at Merrill Gardens now for about a month and are very pleased with the accommodations, the service and care from the staff. All are friendly and respond immediately to any question or concern that might arise. It has been an adjustment but made easy by those in charge. We are pleased to have chosen Merrill Gardens over other facilities we had toured.

Merrill Gardens is a very nice facility.....clean, light and bright. The courtyard and layout of the building allows residents in memory care to wander about quite freely. The best thing of all about the place, though, is the atmosphere created by the the staff. It is one of kindness and caring and they are experts at diffusing difficult situations and listening.

My wife and I began looking for an assisted living facility last summer. After I made a cursory online search of local options and collected a list of possibilities I was advised to get professional guidance and did so. Following a consult to determine our needs she went over our list, ordered them, and Merrill Gardens was her top recommendation. After visiting three we felt comfortable that Merrill could suit our needs. An opening occurred there within weeks of our visit and we moved in four months ago. We have been very pleased that our process led us to them. The staff outnumbers the residents and not enough can be said about how uniformly pleasant they are. Activities are numerous and varied enough to suit all tastes. They provide a monthly list of all activities which are updated daily. My wife is particularly pleased with the musical performers they bring in to entertain us, typically three times a week. A bus is available for doctor, shopping and country-side touring trips. Food options are tasty and varied regularly and though under-spiced, perhaps understandably so, our chef has been quick to provide hot sauces on request. A nice feature is the on-demand list of salads, hot and cold sandwiches, desserts and other quick items. Merrill accepts pets and they have an enclosed courtyard that can be used to walk them, or to just sit and enjoy the quiet.

I’ve been very happy with my dad’s experience here so far. The staff is wonderful. Everyone we’ve encountered has been friendly, helpful, and genuinely kind. The facility itself is really nice and very clean, and his room has everything he needs to be comfortable. There are also lots of activities available, which has been great for keeping him engaged and involved. The food is honestly good, I know this firsthand because I’ve been joining him for lunch. Overall, it’s been a very positive experience, and we feel good knowing he’s well cared for.
