The most important factor to me in finding a place for my elderly friend was the staff. I don’t care how beautiful a place is or how great a view the apartments have if the staff are not caring and attentive too all the needs of the residents it’s worthless in my opinion. Merrill Gardens on Bankers Hill is led by Lori, an amazing director who goes so far and above what we expected. She truly cares for every residents well being and happiness. Director Lori is always willing to discuss any concerns whatever they are personally. Her dedication and leadership to her staff relieve the stress of my worrying for my friends well being. The care staff i’ve met are kind and professional as well. The accommodations are very nice as are the quality of the meals and the many activities provided by the activities staff. If a resident needs to go somewhere, be it a medical appointment or Sunday Church, it’s never a bother to arrange transport in the facility town car or shuttle vans. Extra care if and when needed is always available. We are very happy having made the decision to be at Merrill Gardens.

My mother will be moving into Merrill Gardens at Bankers Hill. I like that it's small, the location is six blocks from where I work, which is a big seller, and the entire staff was just really on top of everything. The apartment is quite a large studio on the fourth floor with a balcony that overlooks downtown San Diego and the bay. They have a private dining room for family events, they have a rooftop garden, and they also have quite a large lounge and library area for the family. We just had a meal today and it was quite good. They have a lovely daily menu. The activities looked pretty good. It's not a large selection because it's only 90 people in the community, but they have quite a good daily selection. It's well run with a small staff that knows all the residents by name and all their dislikes and likes. It's a nice, small, well-run community, very clean, and lovely.

My Mom was not ready to go into an assisted living facility.......but since she has been there we find that we have to work around her schedule to visit. The activities are endless as well as the friendships that she has made. It is a family environment from the General Manager to the staff and care givers. You can't go wrong leaving your loved ones in their hands.

Merrill Gardens is a really nice place. It's right next to Balboa Park, which made it very expensive. It's a really nice place.The staff answered my questions and were really very easy to get along with. The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable. For most of the senior living that you go to, there's a certain time for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At Merrill Gardens, it's like a restaurant. I really also like that they're very open. I suppose it's clean because it really looks nice. I was told they take a bus every Wednesday right up to the hospital.

I visited MG with my mom, having been referred there by my mother-in-law, and my mom's home care company guys spoke very highly of it. It did not disappoint! Although the manager was on vacation, the young lady who gave us the tour was very thorough and took her time. She was homegrown there and enthusiastic about the place. The rooms are nice enough, the dining room and foyer make you feel like you are in the MGM rather than the MG, and the rooftop deck is fab. More importantly, the residents we saw were friendly, social, lively, and seemed happy. I saw an old friend there who is a resident, a great artist, and his art was on display in the common area. We were treated to a nice lunch, food was good, not rushed at all. I had forgotten that I mentioned my mom's birthday on the phone, which was coming up on the day following our visit. The staff brought out ice cream and cake for her, sang the birthday song... You had me at "happy birthday". :) So, there are warm & fuzzies, which is perfect. She's not ready yet, we are on the wait list, but we don't really need to see anyplace else. Dang, I can't wait to get old and live there!

My father has been at Merrill Gardens Bankers Hill for over 2 years. The staff is extremely helpful and sweet. The rooms are very clean and the cleaning staff does a wonderful job. Every time we go to visit him he is busy with all of the daily activities they offer and he enjoys them immensely . The residence are very friendly and most know you by name after a couple a visits. The food is outstanding, we have lunch and dinner together quite often and the variety an taste are suburb. Laura H. who oversees Merrill Gardens Bankers Hill is a welcoming director and is out speaking to the residence all the time with a great big smile on her face always, it is a very happy place with her around. I would recommend to check this place out before you go anywhere else!
