Who Is
Merrill Gardens

Merrill Gardens is a company dedicated to making a difference in the lives of residents, families and team members - this is our mission, to provide an inspiring environment where every life is defined by the possibilities.  Through various efforts put forth by our DEIA committee, our Kindness initiatives, excellent team member benefits, and an overall drive to do the right thing, Merrill Gardens is proud to be a wonderful place for people to live and work. 

As a company, we have been focusing on "Unreasonable Hospitality". This theme comes from a book by the same name by Will Guidara. We are challenging ourselves to show up for one another and for the people we serve with even more intention. We are asking how we can 'wow' someone each and every day.

A Place For Everyone

Giving Back

Giving back is in our company DNA and an ongoing committment to be part of the communities we serve. 

One example is our annual Day of Service where our General Manager and Regional Team Members partner with local organizations to make a difference.

DEIA Committee Welcome

At Merrill, we believe our strength is in our people – our customers, our team members, and our family. We are committed to creating an environment that promotes diversity and celebrates all people in an inclusive and welcoming environment.

"I have been with Merrill Gardens for approximately a year and a half and recently I was honored to be promoted to Senior Business Office Director.  

Throughout my time here it has become clear that Merrill Gardens genuinely values its team members and fosters a culture of support, collaboration and professional growth. The strong sense of teamwork and committment to helping one another succeed is what makes Merrill Gardens unique. This culture inspired my interest in joining the DEIA Committee. I was drawn to the organization’s dedication to creating an inclusive and supportive environment where every individual feels valued and respected. I believe each team member brings a unique perspective and deserves to feel safe, supported, and empowered in the workplace.  

I enjoy contributing diverse viewpoints, building meaningful connections with others and collaborating on initiatives that promote continuous improvement and positive chance for team members."
