I went to look at The Merion. It was nice, as well as the woman who showed it to me, but it was too expensive for me. The place was beautiful, it had a pool, and I liked the place where it's at. It's a beautiful neighborhood. I didn't want to pay that much money for it, and I didn&apo...
I went to look at The Merion. It was nice, as well as the woman who showed it to me, but it was too expensive for me. The place was beautiful, it had a pool, and I liked the place where it's at. It's a beautiful neighborhood. I didn't want to pay that much money for it, and I didn't want to move to the suburbs. The staff member who gave me the tour was wonderful, she was very accommodating, she called me several times, and she's very nice. It's a gorgeous facility.

The experience I have had at the Merion has been fantastic. I enjoy the adversity of the residents here. The programs are very good and listed on an activities board near the dining room. The engineers and those who fix things around the building are great. When you ask them to do something it gets done. The kitchen staff and servers are very nice people, and they have good food. One of the greatest group of people that are really good is the executive staff; [name removed], [name removed], [name removed]and so many others. They have a wellness program and many other medical services that they either provide for the residents or contract out for.

I helped my parents move to The Merion 6 months ago. I (and they) have been very impressed by the quality of the living experience there. The staff are friendly and kind, the facility sparkles, the food options are outstanding, and there are programming opportunities daily for any who want to partake. The location in downtown Evanston offers lots of walking opportunities as well (weather permitting...) All in all, a wonderful find.
Read moreGood employees! Good food . Good musicians every week. Good movies. Good for everything! The Staff is organized to carefully help people who live here and the staff is excellent in this area! So There!
I am a people lover, and I am glad I am living here, because at some other places I looked into people are high-brow, high-nose, arrogant, letting you know they are wealthier and for that reason better than you, and/or they simply are loners mired in their bitter thoughts. Nothing like that here ...
I am a people lover, and I am glad I am living here, because at some other places I looked into people are high-brow, high-nose, arrogant, letting you know they are wealthier and for that reason better than you, and/or they simply are loners mired in their bitter thoughts. Nothing like that here - friendly residents, sweet young kitchen waitresses, smiley cleaning ladies, friendly management. Bottom line: If there is a better place, why am I here?

If I had to move today, it would be The Merion. If I had to move a year from now, it would be The Merion. lf you need a caregiver, they will find someone for you. The staff was so friendly and so cheerful. I love the energy there. The residents were getting ready for a play and getting ready for lunch, so people were kind of walking around, talking, and laughing. My husband and I've been to the Evanston Symphony Orchestra and they play there on a Friday and it's always crowded. The people there are alert as one can be. One particular room was exactly what my husband and I will have. When we walked in, we knew that it was a great room. It was a two-bedroom, almost full kitchen, a little dining room, and a living room, but it was on the second floor. The dining area was large and lovely. We just stood at the door and they showed us the menu. It was well lit and well illuminated. It looked friendly and accepting. They are on a city block, so they take up the whole area where they are. There are some trees here and there, and large sidewalks. They have a nice terrace where you can sit out, and there are pretty plants, a lot of planters, and things, but I haven't gone to the back of the building. There's minimal greenery because it's a city. They have a library, a workout room, and a little pool. They have happy hour. They have people who actually perform. They have a daily bus and you make reservations where you need to go. The only thing is that parking your car is about a block and a half down. It's a good-sized block down and you have to cross another street. I have all positives to say about The Merion. We definitely intend to move there when the time is right. My husband knows two people over there, or at least one person, and I met another one that we know through church and they rave about the food. They have daily cleaning if you prefer, or they have once a week cleaning and that's all part of your rental. The facility was well kept, very bright, and cheerful. I understand that they're going to start changing some furniture in the reception hall. The owner is kept up-to-date and informed, and he comes over and checks things out. Caroline, the sales counselor, introduced us and took us around twice, and she's fantastic. She's very honest and sincere. We liked being with her.
