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.

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!
January 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
