I’ve lived here about two years. The building is modern and comfortable but there are many problems with dining and maintence. You wait a long time for most repairs. With dining, the food has steadily gone downhill in quality since Chef Susan arrived and we get the same old menu choices over and over again week after week. The kitchen routinely runs out of basic menu staples: pancake batter, white bread, ice cream, creamer, yogurt, fish and chips - even Decaf Coffee grounds! There’s constant staff turnover in dining room too. On the good side: The activity director and staff do a great job and offer lots of things to do.

I wanted to take a moment and write a review about 2 amazing staff at Merrill Gardens. Annette Chmielinski the accountant has been so helpful to me accounting for my dad and expenditures. Walking me through costs, sending me needed documents and just overall engaging with her is an absolute pleasure. My last visit with my dad I had the opportunity to spend some time just getting to know her and I am glad she is there looking out for the quality of living and accounting for what is spent. Next is Meghan Hartough Pfeiffer the Resident Care Director. I don''t know how to describe how amazing she is looking after my dad. She checks on him, she also supports me in caring for my 94 year old dad. She is always solution focused. I am so glad she is there looking after my father. She gives me such peace of mind. They both do. Thank you so much!

Merrill Gardens Auburn deserves more than five stars. The facility is lovely, spacious and beautifully maintained. The apartments are open and airy with plenty of storage. Rent includes all meals, weekly housekeeping, and a wonderful array of activities. Residents are welcoming and friendly. But the best part is how the staff treats residents. We are respected, cared for and genuinely listened to here. I believe moving here may be the best thing I have ever done for myself.

I would like to give a review on Kayla Ferguson. I was so dragging my feet to be a residence here and after 2 months now of living here I have to say SHE was RIGHT!!! It is so friendly place to live. Kayla was so accommodating to make sure all our wishes came true. I just wasn''t buying it. She was so patience and kind and bent over backwards to make our wishes come true. My husband was all for the Adult Living aspect. But ME was a different story. One day my husband and I came back to look around again and see what was available. We originally wanted a 2 bedroom, when we came back it was already taken. At that time Kayla said you know a one bedroom just became available and I Thought of you and your husband. Would you be willing to just take a look. We said sure! That was it!. We walked in and immediately fell in love. It had high ceilings in living room and bedroom. We overlook the court yard. Its perfect and my husband and I are making the one bathroom work. I can''t tell you enough how great Kayla has been. She is the perfect catch for her position as Community Relations Director. We appreciate her positive attitude and friendly smile ALWAYS. Thank You for hiring such a amazing person... Very Sincerly, Diane and Bill Gilbert

Something incredible is happening in the memory care unit (The Garden House) at Merrill Gardens in Auburn. As a visiting nurse, I travel to a variety of home environments and each one is unique. The Garden House at Merrill Gardens offers clean, spacious rooms with personalized care, but the kindness and care provided by the caregivers is something to be studied. The feeling of the unit itself is calm but full of life- a difficult balance to achieve in the memory care setting. The Garden House Director/Supervisor Naomi studied teachings of the beloved Teepa Snow and it shows. It''s not uncommon to see the caregivers engaging with the residents by playing games or puzzles with them, painting their fingernails, singing with them or simply sitting next to them in the quiet moments when a resident just needs companionship. I mean it when I say this place is magical.. and it''s purely due to the Director''s philosophy carried out by the kindness and warmth provided by each caregiver.
