We are so grateful for Merrill Gardens at West Chester. It's absolutely the best place for my father. The staff and GM are unbelievable, attuned to my Father's Day, his comings and goings and are so kind. I was looking for a facility where he could age in place and we found it. I enthusiastically recommend it but most importantly the biggest critic, my dad, gives MG a big thumbs up. Before MG my father was at a huge senior community which no longer worked for him. I wish I would have known about MG earlier. If you're looking for a senior living place for a loved one, make sure you visit Merrill Gardens at West Chester.","reviewerDisplayName":"Susan ","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"","reviewContent":"I would recommend this facility to others.
