My name is Dawn, and I wanted to share a happy day I had her at Fig Garden for Mother’s Day. We had young kids dancing Folklorico for the community. I really enjoyed it, they were so great and I liked that their mom and dad came with them. Fig Garden is a great community to live.

My husband and I have been living here at Fig Garden 6 years, I appreciate that my husband is able to use his great ability for art and the association with the residents here at my community. He enjoys making mini houses from cart board for the residents. His enjoyment is making people happy. I myself enjoy the interaction with the activities that are provided. My favorite is the Apples to Apples card game, it’s so fun and funny. I love belonging to the book club here at Fig Garden. I feel and see this community like my own family.

Great place for people that need the ease of senior living with supportive staff to make sure they're doing well. Mariah is so sweet and gave me an awesome tour. They have wonderful food, fun activities, and a beautiful outdoor area and spacious apartments. You can have a caregiver that comes to help check on them. Best of all your family can be independent there but still safe and well.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Truewood by Merrill Fig Garden as a professional partner, and they’ve consistently been a pleasure to collaborate with. Their team is responsive, welcoming, and truly dedicated to providing a positive experience for both residents and families. The community itself has a warm and inviting atmosphere, with engaging activities and a strong focus on resident care and quality of life. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, and it shows in how they support both their residents and their partners in the industry. I also want to highlight Mariah Bishel, who does an excellent job as Community Relations Director. She’s professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about the people she works with. Mariah goes above and beyond to build relationships and ensure a smooth experience for everyone involved.

I am a resident and want to share that I love the staff here in my community, they are very helpful and friendly. Easter Sunday was very enjoyable I appreciated the attention we received from staff, my friends and I were able to sit together, I had a party of 7, and we all enjoyed everything. Thank you Fig Garden.
