I would not recommend this place to any family members needing memory care. . It was not a good experience. We had to take my family member out.

Review for Merrill Gardens at Solivita Marketplace

The aides are very caring and make a point to get to know the residents likes and dislikes. The only reason * didn't give a 5 is the food could be more traditional meals. They often serve odd food pairings versus traditional meat, starch, and vegetable

A nice community

The facility is beautiful and clean, and offers so many amenities. My only issue is sometimes the communication with staff / administration is slow or inconsistent.

A Great, Refreshing Experience

With my sister keeping me company, we visited Merrill Gardens. When we arrived, we were met by [name removed]. What a very pleasant young man. He had a welcoming smile, was so patient and answered any questions that I had. He sparked my curosity and took my sister and me on a great tour of MG. The entire tour made me want to make a change to such a beautiful place. Everyone that we met was so friendly and expessed their positive feelings about their " new " home. [name removed] played a huge part, in helping me decide about MG. He is an outstanding sales person and hopefully, he is being compensated accordingly. I am preparing now, for my move.

Great tour, great choice!!

We recently met with Brayan Antunez at Merrill Gardens, in Kissimmee. We had spoken on the phone before our visit. We were given a great tour of the facility, [name removed] knowledge was so helpful. No matter what our questions were, he had an answer right away, we did not have wait for him to ask someone else or go look it up. We found the reality of his descriptions, to be very accurate. It is not easy to move a 90 year old parent to a new place, which will be his home now. [name removed] made the process appear to be seamless, we are confident this will go very smoothly, and our choice will be a success!

Highly recommend Merrill Gardens

All 8 categories I would give a 5. My mom is SO happy there. She will be there a year this month. It was very easy for mom to make friends and get involved. The dining room staff is so helpful and friendly. The front desk people are extremely helpful at all times.

Great location

It's nicely situated right next to a new shopping complex being built with fast food restaurants, and a new grocery store (Sprouts) getting ready to open in April. The staff was very friendly and answered all of our questions.

Mom's New Family

Can't give the food a high rating. Dining is a hard category...my mom doesn't have a strong sense of taste anymore, so she complains about the food a lot. She says it's also not hot enough. I ate there once and it was ok. Not great but edible. But what they lack in tasty food they more than make up in friendly staff.

Not a good experience

I moved into an apartment that had not been properly maintained or ready for a new tenant. The floor in the living area was warped. I tripped over it repeatedly. I can only assume they were waiting for me to fall before fixing. The bathroom vanity needed to be refinished in a small area. It looked very worn. Outlets are all loose. The only things they actually fixed were the dryer vent because I said it was a fire hazard. And the toilet because it was running. They thought I meant overflowing so came immediately. The food leaves much to be desired. Breakfast is served and immediately after, they start packing the orders for lunch and put them on the table for residents to pick up. They might sit there for 2-4 hours. That is not safe. Same for dinner. Food is mostly the same thing over and over. I hope you like fish. They are supposed to knock 4 times before entering and one person just used key and tried to walk right in while I was sitting in my chair. No explanation.

The staff promises services that are not available.

Do not expect concrete answers, Callbacks, or assistance if the resident is truly in need of any emergency type services due to unforeseen circumstances. The sales staff and the administration make promises of being there for residence, regardless of their status. However, if something happens to set resident who may otherwise be able to live independently, they will lie to you and ignore your calls and otherwise just seem to care about one thing: MONEY!

Our families experience

The reason we gave the value for cost a 3 is because my aunts monthly fee went up [fee removed] in the year anniversary which is in July. However, based on the experience we have had so far, we would absolutely recommend Merrill Gardens to other families. I understand cost have gone up for everything, food, employee salary, maintenance and that's why the monthly fee went up. But I am ok with it. My aunt is in memory care and they are really great . They don't change employees in that area, I assume they are doing well. Plus that helps cause they get used to them and know them

Home away from Home

When I visited my brother, I had to sign in every time even though they recognized me. I felt security was good and my brother was safe. The staff and even some of the residents were helpful and friendly. The environment did not feel as a "nursing" home but more like a "home" environment which was an important part of why I chose Merrill Gardens. A Place for Mom was very helpful in locating Merrill Gardens for my brother and I applaud you and thank you for that!

We felt welcomed and comfortable as soon as we walked.

My husband and I had a tour and an informational meeting before we brought mom in. The Admission Director was professional and knew what we were feeling because we hadn’t made a decision yet. We were uncertain about how to approach the subject with my mom. Mom has been a resident for over a few months now. She is thriving and has so many new friends. Loves the food and all the choices. Has joined so many activities, including the Chorus. Last week we went to their show. So much fun! Mom is managing her own schedule and her life. At 87 she has a new chapter and is so happy.

My experience with Merrill Gardens

WE chose Merrill Gardens because it was close to our new home and they had vacancies. My loved ones are safe at Merrill Gardens. The staff are friendly and genuinely care about the residents.

Review for Merrill Gardens at Solivita Marketplace

My dad was living in another community and I moved him to be closer to my home. The salesperson (Martha) was terrific and assured me that if he fell they would help him up. They didn't, and just called an ambulance every time. He ended up in rehab and when it was time to come back to his apartment they said he had to have a round-the-clock sitter because they couldn't care for him in assisted living. Food was horrible. One night all my dad had available was yogurt cups or jello and I raised hell about that. They "ran out of food" and Monday was the cook's night off.

Review for Merrill Gardens at Solivita Marketplace

I feel like the staff I have personally interacted with are very nice and seem to honestly enjoy their jobs. I feel like they are very personable with the tenants. We chose this location for my father for two reasons. One it is very close to our home. The other reason was the monthly cost.

Nice community.

I am very pleased with Merrill Gardens. Very clean, nice environment, the food is very good. My aunt has maintained her weight and tasks about the food always in positive way. The supervisor contacts me in case of anything. I have easy access to text them too. The staff is very nice. They notify me when I go every week is my aunt is not following orders or she gets upset. But I remind her they are there to help her. I do know that it's a bit pricey, but what can I do. I like the diversity that they have person wise.
