Absolutely great
My experience has been fantastic. I have been here 14 months and everything is better than I expected. The staff has gone over and above to make sure I and my wife, who is in there memory care unit, can be together as much as possible. They have made both of our quality of life better than it was before we came here.

Such kind, thoughtful and nurturing care for both residents and their families. We were made to feel welcome and at home the minute we walked in the door. Every member of the staff was extremely flexible, accommodating and communicative from the application process to move-in and beyond. My MIL loves it there. We’ve had meals several times in the restaurant, and the food really is restaurant quality. Her one bedroom apartment is well-appointed, clean, cozy, has ample storage & closet space, and even has its own washer & dryer. The staff knows every resident’s name, and I watch as they make important personal connections every day. Safety is paramount, requiring each resident to push a “check-in” button located in each apartment, between 5am-9am. If the resident does not check-in, the staff immediately checks on them.

Merrill Gardens made it very easy to move in and integrate into the Memory care Community. It lowered my stress levels dramatically. My wife is happy, healthy, and safe. Best recession I ever made.

Everything from move-in through integration into the community went smoothly. Everything they promised was delivered. They accommodated our special needs. It felt like moving into a luxury vacation property. The location in downtown Renton is perfect. Staff is knowledgeable and very friendly very welcoming.

My dad moved into Merrill Gardens after being hospitalized and we realized it was not safe for him to live by himself anymore. It was a huge change for everyone in our family, and a super stressful time, but the staff here were very helpful during the process. He has now been at Merrill Gardens for 6 months and we could not be happier. At first, Dad was still recovering and needed a lot of extra care. Now, he has really settled in and is gradually needing a little less. He will probably always need some extra care with multiple medications every day and help using the restroom and showering. But he is also able to have some independence. The care staff and the nurses here have been so conscienscious and helpful. I myself am a nurse, so I can tell that they are doing a good job. My dad feels comfortable with them, and they give me a lot of peace of mind that he is well cared-for. The staff has been communicative and kind, which I really appreciate.

My loved one was previously a resident at this facility. We moved her to a different place that has been much better for her.

Some staff are great but constantly say we don't have time for you. We found our Mother laying down unable to move or even reach her water. After we came in and started feeding her and giving her water she got better. They said we don't feed the residents. We understand that but they knew she hadn't eaten for 3 days and didn't notify any family members that she couldn't feed herself. they bullied and intimidated a 91 year old lady then lied to the manager about when we reported them. The only thing they care about is the $ [removed]per month that they get. Most of the food sucks, looks like road kill with gravy on it. Will be filing a complaint with the state DOH

We had a great tour experience with Merrill Gardens at Renton Centre. This facility was actually my mothers favorite out of all of the ones we visited. The price and what they offered was pretty comparable to the the one we ended up choosing. Unfortunately when we came back to this facility to put a deposit down, there were no more units available at the time so we had to choose another place.

What really stood out to us and ultimately was the deciding factor was the community outreach person, they made a great first impression. It is expensive but it is worth it and based on the experience we would recommend the community to other families.

Our loved one absolutely loves the meals and dining service, but there could be more activities for those who are more active. Even just taking them out on a walk to get some cardio and circulation going - have a little more stimulation. We do think the overall value is really good and based on our experience so far with Merrill Gardens we would recommend them to other families.

Merrill gardens is definitely a nice place to bring your loved one. a nice, clean environment with friendly staff who are very welcoming to visiting families. they could benefit from bringing in more engaging activities for the residents, but still overall a good community. the best out of the other places we toured.

The staff are the best part of the community. They are very responsive to questions or concerns that the family may have.. My loved one enjoys the food. The activities are restricted due to the pandemic.

We chose Merrill Gardens because of the cleanliness, the friendliness of the staff members that we met with, and it just gave us a good feeling when we walked in. The room sizes were good, he had a 1 bedroom and it worked out great for his needs. I felt like they really tried to give personalized attention and always knew us and my dad by name. They were fantastic and I would recommend them to others looking.

I would tell others to watch out for the General Manager and their protocols and their pushbacks. Due to the incident with the General Manager this was not the best way to get our loved one settled into the community. I wish things would have gone smoother for the transition with the move in. The community is beautiful and great. I wish visiting hours would be later for us to visit our loved ones. The communication with the staff could be better.

My mother has lived at MG Renton for over 5 years. During that time she has transitioned from being fully independent to needing quite a bit of assistance with tasks of daily living. Throughout all the staff has been very caring and helpful. When things do come up, they are very responsive to my questions and concerns. It's a very welcoming place and I really feel that all the staff have the welfare of residents at the forefront of their approach.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Know Washington’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Washington’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.
Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
