Merrill Gardens at Glen Mills

I liked Merrill Gardens at Glen Mills. It was nicely laid out. The drawback I had on The Summit was they do not have a swimming pool on the premises, and I use water aerobics to keep me moving. They have a Y about a quarter mile to half a mile down from them that I could join. I'm driving now, but that doesn't mean that I'll be able to drive there. The rooms were small, but they were doable. I would have to take two bedrooms because I want to take my baby grand piano, which means that the price goes up. if I wasn't worried about a piano, the living room would be adequate. They said they have activities, but they had just opened and the pandemic set in. They have a gym, a movie theater, a sewing room, a music room, and a small library. It was a nice place. I looked at the rooms and they have balconies and I liked that, but I decided that I would take a room without a balcony because it had nice-sized closets. Everything was nice. It was brand new. They have several choices for your meals. I thought it was nice enough that that's the place that I put money down on. The kitchen is in there in the room, but it's kind of separated by a countertop space, where you could eat on one side. If your guests are visiting, they don't have the feeling that they're visiting you in the kitchen.

Lovely facility....We arrived not having an appointment, & Billy gave us a tour we loved the apartments they were bright & large. We thought the dining rooms were lovely as well as the cute diner took us back to the 60's...We are going to return for lunch. Hoping to check out the activity calendar.

It is beautiful and very welcoming. We were greeted immediately and even though we didn’t have a scheduled appointment, they were more than happy to accommodate our tour request. We met with Billy, who was extremely knowledgeable and made us feel like he and the facility truly care about their residents. We were offered something to drink and an invitation to have lunch in the cutest little 1950’s style diner. Every employee and resident we came across was more than happy to share their feelings about living and working in this amazing place. We were awestruck with the way it is set up like its own little town, complete with a post office, general store, Drs. Office and salon. There is even valet parking in their garage! This is a must see for anyone interested in luxury retirement.

We moved in soon after opening. Feel like we have moved in with family! Beautiful, brand new apartment. The staff is helpful, kind, caring and most welcoming. Grateful to all that have made our transition into independent living so smooth!! Food is superb, health care and therapies beyond our expectations. Lucky to have found the Sunmit.
