My mom and stepdad stayed at Merrill Gardens at Tacoma. It was a great location. It's a beautiful facility. They were very good during the pandemic. Everybody was very friendly. The food there is wonderful. My stepdad raved about the food. It was top-notch food. They had lots of activities. They had a piano, a library, and shuttle buses. They like everything about it. They had as close to a full kitchen as you could have. As my stepdad got sicker, they were very attentive. They were able to get their meals delivered, so they were accommodating. The facility was very well laid out. All the activities were on one main floor, so you didn't have to go looking around for everything. They had poker nights, movie nights, people coming in to play the piano, happy hour, and crafts. I think people did a lot of extra stuff for them that they didn't get charged for.

My parents are slowly moving out of Merrill Gardens at Tacoma, so I was there last night. The independent living cottages are beautiful and spacious and like a home. It's more like you have your own house. I never was in an apartment, but my parents chose not to move into the assisted living apartments because they said that they were too small. They also said that the people were ruder. The employees were not as nice and friendly. My parents were independent. The facilities are beautiful, but with the maintenance, you could not get anything maintained. Like I ended up fixing their shower myself because they couldn't get it fixed and the shower is pretty important. For independent care, as you age, it didn't accommodate for that. My parents are physically capable in a lot of ways, but getting in and out of the shower was difficult for them, and there was a huge step to the front door and there was a big couple of steps from the deck, which is just not good for elderly people. You have to be a very healthy, independent to live there. Their food was great, so we loved the food. They had a fitness room and I think my parents were allowed to go there to work out. They had a movie night and that was about it. Independent living didn't offer you many things because you are independent, but they lacked more social activities.

The staff at Merrill Gardens at Tacoma was very friendly. I checked the menu and It looked very balanced in that they provided good nutrition. We were not able to tour the facility itself due to the Covid times, so that was limited. It had a very noisy street that it was on, so my sister did not like the noise of traffic. The lobby was nice, but we didn't go into any of the other buildings. The place was more of an apartment than it was a home.

Merrill Gardens at Tacoma was beautiful. They were a little sloppy with the money; one person told us one thing, and then, another person told us another thing. For what they offered, their price was reasonable. It was a very nice place.

Merrill Gardens at Tacoma was a very nice looking facility, but we didn’t choose it because it was so big. My parents-in-law moved from a much smaller area in Minnesota, and we wanted to find something similar to that in size; that just felt a too big for them to navigate and get adjusted to at their age because they are 97 and 95. It was a very nice woman who gave us the tour, and we were impressed with her and her presentation. It just didn’t feel like a fit for them.

I was impressed with Merrill Gardens at Tacoma. It seemed like a very nice and well-run community. We saw the rooms, specifically in the memory unit where my father would be confined. The rooms were clean but small, and you get to decorate them with your own furniture. In fact, they were very nice and certainly will make them feel at home. It appeared to me that the residents were very happy.
