My Mom has joined community in April of 2024. Rica and all the caregivers go above and beyond to help residents and families. Non stop action, great home cooked meals and super helpful and friendly. The facility is always neat and clean!I would definitely recommend them to everyone looking. 7/10/25 Update My Mom was taken to Honor Health bin Deer Valley. She was restrained in bed for a week. Did numerous tests and not really sure of the exact decision. Had stomach issues. She was released back to Merrill Garden House. I had to pay for one on one care through another service that costs a lot of $. Decided to evaluate through Hospice and think done kind of rapid decline in her brain. She was approved and from there she needed a place that could watch her better and so I moved her to Embracing Assisted Living in Glendale. Not an easy decision but needed more care than Merrill could give to keep her safe. Very happy with the change.

My mother in law has been in memory care for at least a year. Rica and the other wonderful people at Merrill Gardens have been extremely helpful and they do their best to care for all of the residents. Even when things are hectic and busy they are able to get things done. I completely trust them, and we are grateful for the facility. I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for Elsa and Sanna. Both of these lovely ladies go above and beyond in the Garden House. My mother in law appreciates the extra love and support these two ladies display on a daily basis. Both ladies are nurturing, caring, kind, and they are always willing to do extra duties if asked. Thank you to both of these wonderful ladies for making the residents feel comfortable and loved.
