You’ve built a great life doing things you love.  Being with friends.  Pursuing hobbies.  Choosing the way you spend your days.  

Why should any of that have to change?

At family-owned Merrill Gardens, we want your life to get bigger – not smaller. Living in one of our communities means new possibilities, not new limitations. You deserve the freedom and flexibility to do everything you’ve always enjoyed. We’ve got the chores and caretaking covered so you can keep living life on your own terms – not someone else’s schedule.

Here’s what More looks like.

Two Senior Living Options

At both Merrill Gardens and Truewood by Merrill, our focus is always on the people who live and work at our communities. You can see it in the people we hire. You can see it in the communities we create. You can see it in the ways we connect with your family.

Independent senior living

Yard work? Leave it to us. Household chores? We’ve got you covered. This is your time – and there’s a world of interesting things waiting for you just around the corner. Whatever you’re looking for, chances are we've got it – fitness classes, book clubs, discussion groups, happy hours – it’s all happening right here.

Assisted living

We see caring as an eyes-open heart-engaged lifestyle, not simply a service we provide. Our support teams seek to foster independence – even as your care needs may change. We are sensitive to individual needs, respect privacy and believe in empowering you with the freedom of choice to which you are entitled.

Memory Care

Our goal is to help you maintain every bit of independence and quality of life during the challenging journey through Alzheimer's and related dementias. We are in love with your stories and seeing your personality emerge by spending time with you and creating activity choices around your needs and wants.

Welcome To Our Family! 

We are a family company with roots that extend back to the 1890's.  It's important to us that our residents and team members feel like they are a part of our family and we are honored to be recognized as the Family Business of the Year.
