Reviews Merrill Gardens at Tacoma
August 2024
Both my dad and grandma have moved into Merrill Gardens, so we have become familiar with both the independent living and assisted living areas. We have had an excellent experience, from the management on down to every single staff member we have interacted with. Further, the residents there are all happy, and have really welcomed my own relatives. In particular, I want to call out the manager (Rob) as well as some particularly helpful folks in the kitchen including Chef Brandon, and waitstaff Jeff, Lilly, and Charlotte. These folks have been helpful and friendly every single day, and went above and beyond for a family birthday celebration for my grandma's 99th. Highly recommend this facility!
July 2024
I have been a resident at Merrill Gardens of Tacoma for over two years now, and I absolutely love it. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, and they always go the extra mile to make sure you feel comfortable and happy. There are also plenty of fun activities and events to keep everyone engaged. The facilities are also beautiful and well-maintained. I would highly recommend Merrill Gardens to anyone looking for a great senior living community, as they make you feel like family.

Merrill Gardens at Tacoma is a welcoming, friendly, happy place to live. Residents care about each other, and the staff cares about us. There are lots of activities to participate in and programs to attend within our lovely building, as well as scenic drives and outings to specific places in our Merrill Gardens small bus. Our dining room offers delicious food selections served to us by the nicest young people you could hope for. I am so glad I moved to Merrill Gardens.
April 2024
I moved into Merrill Gardens at Tacoma four and a half years ago. My active life here with my many new friends is better than I could have imagined. The staff is friendly, supportive and open to suggestions from residents and their families. Activities are fun and mentally stimulating and there are frequent opportunities for off-site excursions. The food here is far and above any other senior community that I have heard of, delicious and attractively served in a restaurant style dining room that is open from 7 to 7 every day. I can't say enough in praise of our young serving staff in the dining room. They often remember our food and beverage preferences and are happy to meet our individual preferences and needs. It is fun to have these fine young people in our lives. Life here is so much more interesting and stimulating than living alone. I can't think of any better place to be.
April 2024
Mom hesitated leaving her beautiful home but the stress of maintaining it to her standards was impacting the whole family. Linda Lee has been accommodating and flexible with Mom's requests. Now 8 months later she has friends new and old. Library guild. Knitting group. Daily fitness class, Wednesday sing along, fiber arts group, Hand and Foot (cards) group. New neighbors. Weekly bible study. Foster kittens. Friend to watch church on line each week. We visit at least weekly for Lunch $7 dinner $10 great grands free! The wait staff all know her name. As safe and happy place to enjoy her final years. We are blessed.
April 2024
Five or six years ago I checked out all the retirement places available in Tacoma at that time. I decided on Merrill Gardens at Tacoma and put my name on the reservation list (I wasn't ready to move yet). I have lived here a little over four years now and this is the place for me. There were four reasons why I chose MG. 1- Anytime dining. I am too independent to be told I must eat at 8, 12 and 5. The food here is very good, that is a plus. And the young servers are so kind and patient. Just plain sweet. 2- Washer/dryers in the apartment (except for the Studios) and that makes it like home. 3- Air-conditioning. I had it. and used it. in my Condo in Tacoma. 4- Activities. Lots of choices. We can do as many, or as few, things that we want to do. We can have fun. Lots of entertainment from the outside also. I have made wonderful friends here and that is a real blessing when we are older. All in all, I'm very happy and content here. I made the right decision.
April 2024
I came to the garden alone- Now this garden has my whole world in it's hands- I am showered with blessings! (There must be a hymn here someplace.)
April 2024
I am so glad I moved in to Merrill Gardens. I never dreamed I would move to a place that feels like such a wonderful home and ever since losing my husband I have been fully supported here. I have never received better service. I am so at home.
April 2024
As a resident at Merrill Gardens for just over one month I am brimming with enthusiasm for my neww home. The relaxed ambiance of freinds hits you when entering the front door and whenever you interact with others here. The meals are delicious with many choices available. The servers are great at memorizing your likes and dislikes and provide quick service nearly every time. An amazing number of activities are provided to meet our our likes and interests . Besides providing needed transportation to the bank, postoffice, and shopping centers they make available trips to near by restaurants and visits to interesting places such as Northwest trek, Vashon island by ferry, museums, parks, and conservatories. Even a trip to Mt. Rainier. To top this all off the personable general Manger Rob Brock, besides making himself availbe in his office, he gives weekly talks to all the residents about the status of projects and general things noticed around the building. He definitely has our safety and quality of life in mind. He closes with a question and answer period every time, answering our questions with thought and care. Also craft classes, lectures , and entertainment fill the calendar. I'll be content living at Merrill Gardens for the rest of my life!
March 2024
Five/six years ago I started looking at retirement homes. I checked out all the local homes available at the time. I decided on Merrill Gardens and signed up to be called in the future (I wasn't ready to move). I have now lived here a bit over four years, and it is wonderful. I made the right choice. The food is amazing. Brandon is a great chef. I've made special friends which could have been hard to do at an older age. I really am very happy here. Three reasons for choosing MG. It had anytime dining. That was important to me. I didn't want to be told I would eat art 8. 12 and 5. I'm too independent. MG also has washer/dryers in each apartment (Studio apartments use resident dryers down the hall). And it was air-conditioned. I had air-conditioning in my home in Tacoma and used it. All in all, Merrill Gardens is the right place for me. It's a blessing to be happy and content when I am old!
March 2024
I would highly recommend anyone looking for a wonderful place to live look at Merrill Gardens in Tacoma! I looked for two and a half years before walking in to this community, and was very pleased to see all the activities going on with happy people. When I walked into the two bedroom apartment that was shown to me, I knew 5 feet in that this was the place I would call home. After looking at the apartment and saying YES, I had a short conversation with Linda, many residents came and introduced themselves…a wonderful treat. After living here for three years I find the personnel very kind and caring and always wanting to make us happy. I could not ask for a nicer place to live. It is clean, it is a happy place, and the food is GREAT. I am very happy living here and plan to spend the rest of my days here!
March 2024
Great food, outstanding helpful staff. My cleaning person is very good and accepts hints for my personal apartment.
March 2024
The staff is always friendly, kind and helpful. It makes my visits very pleasing. The facility is clean, well taken care of and smells great too!

If you are looking for assisted living for a family member, this is the place! My parents moved in over 2 years ago and the experience has been top notch! After losing my Mom in July 2023, the staff truly took care of us as if we were their own family. They have been so good to my Dad as he transitions in his life without my Mom. The GM, Rob, is very approachable and any concerns are addressed and taken care of promptly! They have an amazing activities director, Scout, who goes above and beyond daily! It is sometimes a difficult decision to move family out of their homes and I am beyond thankful we chose Merrill Gardens to meet the needs of our family! I have also had the opportunity to be there daily for the past 2 years and I have made friends with so many sweet residents. It truly is a family environment that I am forever thankful for! Kari

After touring 3 other homes (all of which my mom rejected), we visited MG of Tacoma & my mom said, "I would live here." What a relief that was for me considering that she wasn't really keen on moving. We signed the contract that day & Linda Lee, in admissions, was excellent to work with - she made things easy for us & let us pick the move in date that worked best for us. Rob, the manager, came in to greet us and has continued to say hello whenever we see him - he truly leads by example. The staff is friendly & the residents pretty much smile & say hello - so refreshing. The rooms are well-lit and my mom's studio is roomy enough for a small dinner table & a couch! There are plenty of amenities & although my mom is used to keeping to herself, she is happy to be there and I am thrilled for her.

December 2022
My mom has lived here for two years and I HIGHLY recommend Merrill Gardens. The staff especially Rob the manager has gone above and beyond for my mom and our family. They care about her like she is part of their family.
October 2022
We have lived here more than 8 years and wouldn't live anywhere else. The food is outstanding and the activities keep us happily busy. The activity schedule is the best anywhere.
June 2022
Merrill Gardens Tacoma is a wonderful retirement community that provides its residences with a beautiful campus, exquisite dining, loads of activities and the apartments are top notch. This would and should be expected for what the residences pay, which is comparable to other retirement communities of this caliber. What takes Merrill Gardens Tacoma to the 5 Star level is the staff, from housekeeping, to the front desk, the nursing staff to the General Manager. When my Dad passed, the sympathy and compassion expressed by the staff was sincere and heartfelt. Mom is still there and when we go visit it is always enjoyable to catch up with the staff as well. Bottom line, the staff at Merrill Gardens Tacoma have become a second family to my wife and me!
June 2022
Excellent all around. The facility is wonderful and so is the staff. Couldn't ask for a better place for my Mother-in-Law to live. We love it so much and can't wait until we're old enough to move in.
April 2022
Enjoyed Easter brunch on 4/16/22 and the food was INCREDIBLE!!! High quality food. Asked my mom who lives there if they serve this same food every day and they do! Kudos!!!! Eggs were perfect, salmon was cooked to perfection with mango salsa on the side and the prime rib was yummmm!
February 2022
Both my mom and aunt are there and could not love it more. The staff are all 100% amazing, Linda on intake, Susan for Concierge, and Gail the nurse have been just so amazing originally with my mom and now with my aunt. I could not recommend this place more if your shopping for a place that is well run then this is the one!
February 2022
This gated community, park-like environment provides a peaceful and safe home at all times. The location is great - within five miles to hospitals, clinics and all shopping needs.

Probably should have moved here sooner! Living here has been a very pleasant experience so far. A very well managed (with concerns about residents)community, excellent food & the nicest employees.
March 2021
We just moved my 92 yr old dad to Merrill Gardens 3 weeks ago. He seems to be adjusting to apartment living. He has be participating in some of the activities, enjoys meeting new people and says the food is quite good. Our family feels that he is in good hands. The staff has been very warm and welcoming. Moving him has been a very positive experience.
February 2021
I cant say enough about the best opportunity & experience I was given when working there...I have a great level of respect for everyone employed at Merrill Gardens!
December 2020
A Great Senior Living Place. With activitys,. dinner area, church services, show movies, and assistance for the elderly.
November 2020
My brother said she worked here a while ago. He said he loved it here & he brought his grandma here because he knew she would be taken care of. He said Colleen & Meghan put their hearts into the job & make sure the residents get the best care.He said Colleen & Meghan put a lot of time & effort into their caregivers to make sure theyre properly trained and not afraid to ask questions no matter what the time is.He said the only downside is the pay isnt much, he said its over minimum wage, but not a lot. He said the benefits are amazing & the employees are highly valued & appreciatedI would definitely recommend to live here & work here. My brother was sad when he had to resign & move out of state.
July 2020
I just moved in here and I love the view. The staff are so nice and friendly. As many moves as I have had over the years I can honestly say I was so excited about this move. Each apartment has central heat and air so no matter how your body temperature you can stay comfortable. Its also so quiet when I was hanging my pictures I felt guilty for using my hammer.
May 2020
Immaculate building inside and out. The grounds are beautiful and the people who live here enjoy all of the outdoor space. (At least they have when I have been there) like watering the garden or sitting in the park. A lot of people here have dogs and it makes it feel like home. I wish I could live here! I have eaten here several times and the food is better than most restaurants I have been to (and Im a foodie!). Helpful staff and lots of fun things for them to do. The person I know who lives here has become MORE active than when she lived on her own and it has helped her be more social and active.
May 2020
Absolutely loved working here!! Best CNA job I ever had!! I was so sad & heartbroken I had to resign (I had a baby). Residents get the best care & the staff is appreciated. 🙂

I have a close family friend who is like an Aunt that lives here. This facility is located in a nice area of Tacoma. You can see the water and the Narrows Bridge from the building. It feels like a higher end hotel. There is flavored water in the lobby and the front desk woman was very helpful. I have been during the Friday Happy Hour a few times now and the activity girls made me feel welcome and shared future events with me. They went above and beyond. The food is amazing and the waitress accommodated my requests.
November 2019
My Mom lived at Merrill Garden in Tacoma for over 7 years & was well cared for every day. Mike has been a very caring manager. Both Colleen & Megan were very thorough nurses. Susan & Vonnie always made my mom feel very special. Carolyn keep a good eye on the accounts & the kitchen staff was always very polite. Virginia & the other office staff were great. Linda Lee was always someone we could count on. The housekeeping staff were wonderful! Thank you for taking a van to my moms memorial in November 2018. Sincerely, Dorothy Mills Family
September 2019
Overall seemed like a good place for my Grandparents.
November 2018
Surprised to find there are not more reviews for Tacomas Merrill Gardens, but I will testify that our Mom is approaching 90, and has spent the past three years at Merrill Gardens and claims her (independent living) lifestyle is like living on an elegant cruise ship that happens to remain in port forever.... wonderful staff, wonderful food, wonderful accommodations, and a wealth of activities, concerts, varied events. She does take note that her happiness is largely because she has the support of family that provide regular visits, and that is an element that is impossible for any senior living center to provide... but for us (Moms family) Merrill Gardens provides us the freedom and comfort to know Mom is within a caring and very well managed facility that provides a wonderful home for Mom between our weekly visits.Neil Glenesk
