Merrill Gardens is a premier, senior living facility nestled beautifully within Woodstock Georgia. It's a community of residents, caregivers and staff that work very closely with each other. And the outcome is a very satisfied and happy group of people. It's a wonderful choice if you're looking for a home for a loved one in that part of town. But don't take my word for it, ask anyone who lives there.
