My mother is in Merrill Gardens at Gilroy. So far, it's OK. The rooms are average. The food is not bad. The common areas are good. They have a few activities. You could go on field trips, you could go to the movie theater, they have movie nights there every night, and sightseeing. They have a little bus there, and they take you to the movies. There's a little exercise program in the morning if you want to join that. They have a music activity. You get to pick out which ones you want. There's a monthly calendar and you can navigate it. The staff is super nice. It's a little pricey.

Merrill Gardens at Gilroy was nice. The physical appearance of the community was good overall. They have a dining area and a laundry room. I had a family member who stayed there. Their staff was very unorganized and very inconsistent with COVID protocols. When they have their staff cleaning the rooms, they're bringing dirty cleaning equipment from one room to another, which is a concern for COVID spread. They say that they will sponsor trips as far as leaving the facility, but with COVID protocols, those didn't happen at that time.

My mom moved into Merrill Gardens at Gilroy. We live in Gilroy, and it was a perfect transition. Everybody seems so caring and nice there. It's a very bright and warm feeling when you enter the facility. They have a dining area. They provide activities for them. They have three meals a day. We're constantly being communicated with the staff and the nurse on site. I think the fees were reasonable for the amount of care that my mom is getting. They are definitely meeting her needs. The facilities feel updated. It doesn't feel old and stodgy. It feels fresh and inviting. They offer laundry service, but these are for extra fees. They had activities, like bingo and play with a beach ball. Someone led the activities. The move-in could have used some more finesse. When we moved in, that was the only thing that was subpar. There should have been a liaison committee leading that part. So the first day, that's the area where I would ask for an improvement. The person who handles the medications has a heavy accent, and we can't understand her very well. I think that is a drawback because we deal with her pretty often, and the medication is an important one to understand clearly. They give hot meals. They were fed three good meals a day. Even though I haven't tried it, we've been pleased with what they offer. They often have a choice.

My mother is on a waitlist with the Merrill Gardens at Gilroy. They're an awesome place. So the first thing that impressed me about the tour was the representative, her name is Lisa. I have a friend whose mom is at Merrill Gardens and he recommended the place. So I already had sort of that personal referral and I called them directly. I left a message and Lisa called me back. She was super friendly. I felt like I've known Lisa forever. Just her way of connecting with me was unbelievable. It's like she knew my mom. It's like she knew what we were going to need, and she was so helpful, so friendly, so accommodating. As we walked through the center, how she interacted with a resident, everybody and they all knew her, and super friendly, and the place is just wonderful, it's very welcoming. You can tell that the staff care about the residents. And I have the best feeling. I felt like if I'm going to have my mom anywhere, this is it. Because I just felt like she would be well taken care of. She would be well respected and her needs would be met and the friendly atmosphere that she would love. In addition, the place is beautiful. It is a beautiful facility. It is not like a closed-in convalescent home. It is very open, it's very bright, and I was super impressed, absolutely impressed. I was so impressed that the day I visited, I placed my mom on the waiting list. The price was more reasonable than the other facilities. I would highly recommend them.

My mother-in-law is moving this month to Merrill Gardens at Gilroy. We chose it because it's close by so we can walk over and visit. We feel very confident because we have friends whose parents were there. We have a private room, it's clean. They have several things going on daily. It was spacious with rooms for small groups, and reading and things like that, and a nice patio area. We felt very comfortable with the memory care area. It's fairly new and it's well-landscaped. It's clean and that was important.

Merrill Gardens at Gilroy is lovely and bright. They have caring staff. My mom is in memory care, and the staff treats them with dignity and respect which I really like. They'll do whatever you ask, and if the food you want is not on the menu, they'll fix it for you. Yesterday, they had a Mardi Gras event and music in the main dining room.

Mother moved into Merrill Gardens. It's clean, pleasant, and friendly. They have everything. They have outings, board games, movies, creative writing groups, crossword puzzle groups, cooking, greeting card making, and lots of different things. We liked it for the location. They have restaurant-style dining, medication regulation, and laundry services. The staff is very helpful, friendly, and attentive.

I'm on the waiting list for Merrill Gardens at Gilroy. I like that they have more activities than other places, like outings and field trips every week. Some of the other places only have them once a month. The place is nice and clean, and I like that the people there are happy.
