Reviews Merrill Gardens at Rockridge
December 2022
My 86-year-old mother, my brother, and I had a tour on 8/20/23 with staffperson Laurabelle. We spent about an hour and 15 minutes with Laurabelle, who was very welcoming and informative. This is our first tour of any senior living facility, so we knew very little. We felt very comfortable talking with Laurabelle, who was attentive and thoughtful in every moment. At the end of the tour, we had learned a lot not only about Merrill Gardens, which really impressed me as wonderful, but also we learned valuable general information that will help us in our search overall for a facility that is a good match for Mom. For example, Laurabelle explained that the state form, Physician's Report for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE), is a requirement not only for applying for Merrill Gardens, it is a requirement for any facility that you apply to. Therefore, she suggested that it is a good idea, in general, to get this form filled out early in our search, whether or not we actually wind up applying for Merrill Gardens or not. Ok, back to Merrill Gardens: we three really liked it a lot! All throughout, the premises were in very good, modern condition (this facility is only six years old). The activity and dinning areas have lots of windows and natural light; the apartments that we saw also had lots of natural light and wonderful views. I really loved the rooftop outdoor patio, it has gorgeous, 360 views of the SF skyline and the Bay on one side, and the Oakland/Berkeley Hills on the other. I wish I could live here! Prices start at $4500 for a 480-sq ft studio for without medical care, but inclusive of housecleaning, meals, transportation, activities, etc. (that price is standard for this area, according to my internet search that I did on my own before the tour) My mother is a sports fan and she was very interested in the movie room where people gather to watch sporting events. I felt that Laurabelle was sincere and honest, showing us the offerings of Merrill Gardens and also wanting us to make a decision that would make our mom happiest and that we can afford. For example, when I asked about rent increases, Laurabelle replied that at every 12 months, rent increases 5 - 10%. I appreciate that she was direct and clear; she didn't try to evade the question with a vague answer. We did not partake in a meal at Merrill Gardens, but perhaps later we will, as Laurabelle's invitation to do so still stands. We are early in our search so we haven't decided on Merrill Gardens, one way or other. But if you want a tour of a wonderful place with a staff person who is welcoming, informed, and a clear communicator, spend an hour with Laurabelle at Merrill Gardens. It is an hour well-spent.

We have lived here for nearly two years and I am happy to say it has become a place I can recommend to anyone.The recent management has made significant progress in making this a community that I and my husband benefit from greatly.He has Alzheimers and resides in Garden House,a dementia care facility where he has his own room.I have an independent living one bedroom up just one floor from his.It means so much to us to be together for dinner in the main dining room daily and to feel as if we are still in a home.We moved here because of my husbands illness and I am glad to report he gets excellent care in his ward of about 16 residents.It is intimate and a quiet space where family members are welcome to visit.Activities keep the residents busy and the meals are identical to those served in the main dining room.The facility is kept spotless and an attached garden space is full of plants,many in flower,for strolls outdoors.The staff are caring and diligent and turn over is modest so we have grown to know them well.For me,living independently,the location is excellent near Bart and the lively Rockridge neighborhood.I highly recommend Merrill Gardens at RockridgeElizabeth

I moved into Merrill Gardens on October 9, 2020 after being on the Wait List since they opened in September 2016. Although, Merrill Gardens was always my preferred Senior Living Facility, I had bypassed other vacancy offers over the years as I was not quite ready to move. But, this time the Apartment that was offered along with promotional incentives was just too good to refuse.I have a beautiful one bedroom Apartment on the second floor on the Bay Side of the building with a large Patio and a wonderful view of Oakland, San Francisco, and the Bay! The Apartment is well lighted with overhead lights in every room and wonderful natural light coming in from the Patio makes for a very uplifting and comforting environment.All of the personnel I have interacted with so far including the General Manager, Customer Service personnel, Maintenance and Service staff, have been outstanding! Each has been welcoming, kind, patient, understanding, helpful and professional and have made me really feel At Home! I am also getting spoiled not having to prepare my meals anymore, and there is a good menu of meals, and the food is well prepared and tasty.I am so pleased that I finally moved to Merrill Gardens! I look forward to a long, joyful, peaceful, nurturing and supportive environment in the years to come.

My mother spent two very good years at Merrill Gardens at Rockridge. It is a physically lovely facility. It was brand new when she moved in and there were some start-up issues in the early months. Management and Caregiving worked on them and made noteworthy improvements. Mom loved so many people at Merrill Gardens who cared for her—and did her hair. The food was very good. Impressive entertainment. Thank you so much.

I moved into Merrill Gardens with my husband and brought my little dog to be with him and help take care of him. Everyone was so nice to us and always there when I needed them. He was happy there which was so important and I would recommend Merrill Gardens in Renton to anyone because not only everyone was friendly, always knew our name and made us feel welcome staying there. I love them all very much. After he died I stayed for a few weeks because I needed there love. Ann Duby

My mother recently moved to The Oaks, Gilbert, AZ due to her increased needs for care. I have the highest level of praise for this wonderful facility. The care, concern and helpfulness shown my mother and all of us, her family, including the out of towners, (me) has really been extraordinary. Mom had deteriorated at her previous facility and we had to make a fast move which was stressful for everyone but the outcome has been better than we could have ever anticipated. Mom has regained strength and function, she is now out socializing and we can finally relax a bit. Choosing a care facility is hard but we are certainly feeling like we made the right choice.

I love seeing all of the pictures of the activities these young at heart senior citizens get to experience! Now I have to brag!! These activities are all the doing and planning of my very talented and amazing cousin, Laura Newkirk Cardoza! She loves planning these activities for her other family! She loves the clients that live here! I love and admire her very msuch!
