This community hosted South End Coalition this month and did a fabulous job! The breakfast was wonderful, perfect sized room, all the staff were welcoming and went the extra mile some coming in as early as 4am to prep for us. So appreciated!

I just had Easter Brunch with my mother, a resident of Merrill Gardens in Renton, WA. We both had a wonderful time, thoroughly enjoying the great food, beautiful decorations and festive holiday atmosphere that all of the staff helped to create. Shelley and her team always do a great job making all of their residents feel special. I am very fortunate to have my Mother living in such a wonderful, family environment.
