"Moving my aunt into Merrill Gardens has been an incredible experience, and it is easily the best decision our family could have made for her. The entire staff goes above and beyond every single day, but I want to give a special thank you to Patti Olson. Her exceptional support, warmth, and dedication made the transition so seamless and stress-free for us. Aside from the amazing team, the food here is consistently excellent with great options, and the other residents are incredibly kind and welcoming. The building has such a bright, positive, and happy energy. It is truly an absolute pleasure to come here and visit family. We are so grateful to know our aunt is safe, happy, and surrounded by people who genuinely care about her!"

I love Merrill Gardens at Wright Park! From the first time I toured the beautiful facility, I knew this is where I wanted to live. The floor plan for my one bedroom apartment is well thought out and meets all of my needs for safety and accessibility. Management was easy to work with for making a couple of desired customizations in my apartment, as well as providing resource recommendations and processes for an stress-free move.<br><br>I enjoy many of the activities that are offered-- craft workshops, movies and movie discussions, book club, and a weekly happy hour with live music to name a few. The Sky Lounge on the top floor provides a beautiful setting with stunning views! It is a great space to entertain guests.<br><br>The dining room always has good menu options for dining in or getting it to go. If I want to venture out for food, there's a wonderful grocery store as well as several restaurants nearby.<br><br>One of the best features is that Wright Park is directly across the street. I take my little dog for a walk at least twice a day and marvel at the 27-acre treasure that I can enjoy every day!<br><br>Moving to Merrill Gardens provides me the level of comfort, ease, safety, and accessibility to activities that I need at this time of my life. I'm thankful to be a resident here and highly recommend it to anyone who is considering moving to a senior community. There's so much more I could say. It's worth checking out!!

Mom has an apartment in the Garden House. She moved in just a couple months ago and is still figuring things out. I am grateful for caring, compassionate staff. They have been very welcoming and seem to be doing an excellent job. Facility is lovely and there are many activities that mom likes participating in.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to the staff and residents of this apartment community. I recently lost my wallet, and someone at the complex found it and took the time to ensure it was returned to me by mail. When it arrived, everything was still inside—cash, cards, ID, and all.<br><br>In a world where honesty and kindness can sometimes feel rare, this act meant a great deal to me. The integrity and thoughtfulness shown by the people associated with this community speak volumes about the character of its residents and staff.<br><br>Thank you for going above and beyond to help a stranger. Your kindness made a stressful situation much easier, and I will always remember it.<br><br>Highly recommended and deeply appreciated.

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 Wright Park 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.
