for Merrill Gardens at Auburn","reviewContent":"All homes for the elderly have problems...mainly finding and retaining good employees, including management.

They have helped my aunt and uncle through the pandemic, through physical changes and illnesses and through cognitive changes. The support and extra effort in making my family feel safe, well-cared for and loved is outstanding. Activities are designed with the happiness and enjoyment of the residents in mind. There are several activities for individuals and groups, a concierge service, shopping service, appointment driving and much more. \n\nThe quality of health and personal care is equally outstanding with the caregivers being genuinely concerned with the well-being of my aunt and uncle. There have been several challenges over the years and the care staff have consistently met all of them with kindness, support and excellence in care quality. \n","reviewerDisplayName":"Jan Klausing","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":" I recommend it for a social person with limited physical needs.

The meals are ok, it seems to be the same bland items. However at least its by order and not a buffet. There are almost no physical activities. There is only chair aerobics which our loved ones scoffs at. It just seems to lack creativity. I recommend it for a social person with limited physical needs. Meaning. It's in the city and really no place safe to go for a walk. \n\n\n","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Safe and Happy Mom","reviewContent":"I would recommend them for their loved ones as long as the cost is not prohibitive. The facility is very nice, great care and lots of activities and services for the residents are available. I picked this community because of the well maintained facility and focus on the health and safety of the residents. The location from my home is very convenient.The staff have been wonderful and very communicative with us. They are great at keeping Mom busy with games, conversation, and special outings.

The staff is incredibly helpful, super nice and very knowledgeable. The logistics were well coordinated for the move in process. I recommend bringing an extra hand truck. All of the hallways are wide. Communication with the family is excellent! The staff is very proactive and responsive. The entire staff is over the top nice. The food is fantastic; fine dining. The chef does a wonderful job with the menu and there's many options to choose from for all meals. I personally enjoy the wine selections. They have daily activities (Mom especially enjoys the daily movies, bingo and a visit every couple months or so to get her hair and nails done). There's always something to do and plenty of companionship. This facility is a fantastic place and is the perfect home for mom! I would recommend this facility to others.
