Merrill Gardens At Kirkland

I went to the Merrill Gardens at Kirkland. I liked the fact that this was in a city. They were very good. They had a gym and a hair salon.They had activities. The staff did not follow up with me, but they were friendly. It's near shops and restaurants.

I visited Merrill Gardens at Kirkland, and it was wonderful. They are very kind people. People there seemed very happy and very caring. It was just that the cost per month is too high, and I'm still very independent. But the place is beautiful; it's very nice. It's a block away from Lake Washington. Kirkland is a beautiful, small area, and people like to walk down to the beach. They had a very nice place for meals while someone plays the piano. Also, the lady who showed us around was very, very nice.

My friend moved into Merrill Gardens at Kirkland. It’s very nice, and in a great location. They liked the food, and they were very pleased with the activities. She’s gone to the farmer’s market, the stores, and movies. The staff is very pleasant and helpful.

Merrill Gardens at Kirkland is rather upscale and more like a hotel than anything. They have a lot of planned activities. The people are going places all the time and doing things there. The food is fantastic. It's very comfortable and they have excellent staff. The building and the decor are fantastic. They have everything from studios to two-bedroom townhouses. Out of all the places I visited, they are the top. The price is expensive. I've been down there a couple of times and each time, I ended up talking to somebody different, and they were all well informed. The dining area looks like a restaurant. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and you order off of a menu.

Merrill Gardens at Kirkland felt like a condominium complex that happened to be dedicated to independent and assisted living. It felt more contemporary and more welcoming, similar to a hotel environment. The rooms were what I would have expected to see for a one-bedroom or a studio. The only thing that was lacking in the units was the storage because that was the most difficult thing to build into a one-bedroom apartment.

Merrill Gardens at Kirkland was very good. The lady who showed us around was very kind. We saw an exercise room, dining room, and a room with a pool table. The staff member told us about the different clubs they have, like a bus that takes people around and to doctor's appointments. Each place has a little kitchenette. She took us to a one-bedroom, and it was very clean. I think people were friendly. They had a little balcony and a good garden space, so it has a lot going for it. The reason we'd rate it as a 4 is because we would love to have a hot tub and a little pool for exercising, but they don't have that there. Also, they have a three-meal plan, and we'd like to have a variety, like a two-meal plan, and we're hoping that it'd be a little cheaper, so we can make out own breakfast or lunch. They have an open kitchen that you can go anytime to have breakfast or lunch with a nice variety of salads and everything like that. One wing is for assisted living and one wing is for people who are on their own. They have a little theater.
