I truly enjoy creating an environment of family, fun, friendships, and choice not only for residents, but for our team members as well.

A word from our residents
Meet Your Neighbor
Marvin Kay says that as soon as he saw the penthouse suite layout of Merrill Gardens at Lafayette, he knew he was home and he has been happy to be part of the community ever since. He was one of the very first residents to move into the community when it opened two years ago in 2014.
He attributes his happiness to the wonderful staff, friendly neighbors, and beautiful scenery in Lafayette.
