Rebeccka is an excellent server and supervisor. She manages the service and preparation of the food like a true professional. She goes above and beyond in conducting her duties in all aspects of her job. Excellent person and worker.

Most of the reviews written are staff at Merrill Gardens - Madison. The facility is nice, the food is good. It is also the most expensive place to put your loved one into memory care. They do not notify you of rate increases, your first notice of a rate increase is when you receive your invoice. The rate takes effect within a few days. My last notice was a phone call the day before I received the invoice for my mom. I was told her rate was increasing by $980, when I received the invoice in the mail, it was an increase of $1,918.32 from the previous month. RENTER BEWARE!!

I have lived here since April of this year. I lived in another Senior facility near here. This is so so much better in every department. The employees are very helpful and nice. I have recommended MERRILL GARDENS to a friend in Penn. I told her how much I enjoyed being here. I am sure he will like it too. The food is GREAT.

Having lived at Merrill Gardens at Madison over two and a half years my overall experience has been very good. The getting used to a new place is always difficult; however, this place kind of grows on you. My son calls this the Taj Mahal of assisted living. I have had good and bad experiences during my time here, but at this time the good overshadows the bad. This is the same as it was when living in my home. While here you can always know you will be taken care of in all situations. The management, staff, caregivers, medical care and all that work here are the best anywhere and appear to be handpicked. Sure you always find a bad apple in the bunch but all here are of the Taj Mahal class. Many opportunities for self improvement, travel and continued happy living are always here at this Merrill Gardens.

My mother moved in here 2.5 years ago after my dad died. She was lonely, depressed and losing weight. She really didn't want to come but since moving to Merrill Gardens to she has thrived! She's gained weight due to the wonderful food! She loves her apartment (even brought her cat) and they offer lots of activities, events, celebrations and outings. The entire staff, from the front desk, sales, general manager, accounting, maintenance, dining room, kitchen, activities, housekeeping and nursing are so friendly, attentive and knows residents by name. This place is bright and cheery and I so enjoy visiting there and seeing my mother, staff and residents. Please know like any facility, there is a rent increase each year so factor this in.

It's all about the people taking care of your loved ones. There is so much turn over at MG that the care for your loved ones is somewhat lacking in some cases. There are some great workers at MG. However when my father was moved to memory care the attention to details and overall experience plummeted. The fees continued to increase while the care continued to decrease. The fee wasn't the problem but when you pay more for less along with the employee turnover there may be other alternatives for the care of your loved ones.

Cidney answered questions and showed my daughter and I Merrill Gardens for my 87 year old mother. We visited three local facilities and Merrill Garden was the best fit. My brother found a location near hm in another state. Mom visited both facilities and she selected Merrill Gardens. Mom really enjoys the activities. She plays poker, Skipbo and dominoes. Also, likes the day trips to restaurants, local stores and the Madison Wellness Center. The residents are friendly. Staff members, Leigh, Meghan with the Activity Center, Annie at front desk, Jo, Tiffany in the restaurant, and Cidney, Andrew with the Community Relations Service, are all pleasant and helpful. Overall Merrill Gardens has been a good experience for Mom and our family.

A couple of years back I sent my elderly mother to this institution as I could not care for her. I recently visited her to see she is doing spectacular! She has taken a liking to this little boy James who has made sure that there was not a speck of dirt on any of her dishes! Hopefully when I'm in my twilight years I will have the luck of being in the strong arms of James too! Will come again, 5 stars!

As I began to search for a safe and caring place for my Mom, Merrill Gardens at Madison was my first choice. I was impressed that the staff I encountered treated the residents in a caring manner and called them by name. There are many activities available for the residents. I have only positive comments about Merrill Gardens.

i have lived here for three weeks. Mostly i am thrilled i came here. The food is amazing. they will prepare almost anything and it is just delicious. all the staff seems happy to be working here and bend over backwards to make sure you are happy and your needs are met. It is a lovely facility. i love my apartment and there are many comfortable, beautiful places to sit: the fireplace lounge area, the bistro, the patio, the lobby, the dining room. At any given time, you will find residents seated about visiting with one another, playing a game, reading, watching tv, enjoying one of the “furry” residents or having a snack or beverage.

Courteous, clean, and friendly describes Merrill Gardens. We recently moved our mom, who is basically a loner and anti-social, into the memory care unit. She was transformed into the happiest and most out-going person in the matter of days. She says the food is delicious - just too much, and the residents and staff friendly. The activities director, Damian, is amazing at getting the residents involved and comes up with numerous creative ways of sparking their interests. Jessica, the RN, and her staff, are a delight to work with. The housekeeping staff is outstanding. Thank you and keep up the good work Merrill Gardens!

We moved my 89 yr old dad here in Oct 2021. He loves it! The staff is wonderful and happy, the environment is bright and cheery, with tall ceilings and lots of windows, and there are plenty of activities to keep him busy. I feel such relief knowing that he has assistance when he needs it, and he doesn't have to worry about meals. I considered a few other choices in the area, but I'm so glad I chose Merrill Gardens. All the residents that I've met seem really happy there, and several told me that they wouldn't want to be anywhere else. If you're considering an assisted living facility in the Huntsville, AL area, Merrill Gardens of Madison is a wonderful place. I trust you'll be as happy as we have been.

This was my Grandmommys home for several years, and she enjoyed her time here <3 She is fairly social, got along great with the staff, and even with the more ornery of her neighbors. The staff was excellent with their covid precautions.

After looking at different independent and assisted living facilities in our area, we decided that Merrill Gardens was the place for us and we have not been disappointed. The facilities are beautiful inside and out. Front office management, caregivers, and recreation area, the dining room are all well managed with courteous and helpful staff. Dining is available from 7am to 7pm with a wide selection on the menu. Extra amenities include church services, exercise classes, trips for shopping, doctors appointments. Fun activities such as games, movies, happy hour, and outings to various events. In other words, Merrill Gardens is like a resort for us! Don & Rosalie Sanders
