Reviews Merrill Gardens at Columbia
June 2026
I moved here at Merrill Gardens on May 7, 2026 and from the first moment I walked in for the tour the previous week, I fell in love with the facility. First of all, it's CLEAN! Spotless! The staff, accommodations, the food, all is SUPERB! The professionalism, the courteousness from the entire staff, and the very friendly, welcoming residents were just what the doctor ordered! It's also cheaper than the previous assisted living facility I lived in. The location is ideal, and the imaginative outings and events planned for the residents are terrific! I HIGHLY recommend anyone who is considering living in a retirement community to first consider Merrill Gardens! BRAVO!!!!

Dusty Busher is the Community Relations Director did an excellent job of giving us a tour, answering all of our questions and educating us on the senior living concept at Merrill Gardens. Everything was clean, well decorated plus all of the residents had a big smile on their face which says it all! I would recommend Merrill Gardens for anyone looking for a up and coming part of Columbia, SC.

The residents and the facilities are wonderful; the management not so much.

What a Wonderful place! I was looking for a permanent home for my 82 year old Mother. She currently lives in Houston, Texas. Just shopping around and doing tours at numerous places was causing me anxiety and frustration. However, Dougal Kear at Merrill Gardens was an Angel in disguise. He showed me options for Mom and discussed everything. The facility is hands down the cleanest, brightest and most modern independent/assisted living facility I have ever seen! After weeks of preparing to move her to SC, after putting down our deposit and signing all paperwork, my Moms dementia worsened and we decided it would be best if she stayed in Texas, where she is familiar. Needless to say, Mr Kear took AND answered my numerous emails and texts promptly and helped me get the deposit back without Any issues, questions or delays. I Highly recommend Merrill Gardens! Who knows, when I’m ready, I may live there!! Thank you Dougal, your kindness does not go unnoticed * Candace Fazekas

In my search for an independent living program, I was recently referred to Merrill Gardens by A Place for Mom. When I entered the building, I was greeted by name and offered a drink while I awaited my tour by the Community Relations Director. As we toured the facility, I was so impressed by her interaction with the residents, several of whom I met. There’s a lot to love about Merrill Gardens, not the least of which is the Anytime Dining feature, which was unique among the facilities I toured. I was provided lunch at the end of my tour and the food was exceptional. There were a number of attractive amenities, including a theater, but my favorite was the rooftop deck with a firepit and bar that overlooks Segra Park. I was introduced to several independent living programs in recent months and Merrill Gardens was certainly one of the best.

WOW is all I can say. This place is amazing and the people there are so caring. Our tour with Trevonda was one of the best tours we have been through. She was so polite and so much fun to be around and she made us feel so comfortable. The place was very clean and everyone was so helpful and accommodating. I'm so happy that we found Merrill Gardens for our mom and we know she will be taken good care of there. A+++ establishment!
