A message from the
General Manager

quote icon

I was raised by my grandparents, and my grandmother started a small care home when I was in elementary school. I found myself learning to care and aide for seniors at an early age, and have grown to respect and love seniors since my whole life revolved around them.

This is not just a job for me, but a passion. It's truly my calling to give back to seniors as they have given so much to me.

– Dillon Cagulada, General Manager

I lived in Piedmont, CA most of my life and the transition to Merrill Gardens at Rockridge was much easier than I expected. My daughter discovered Merrill Gardens and brought me in for a tour – I felt the warmth of this community as soon as I walked in. I was excited that I could bring my dog, Coco to move in too!

I enjoy the bright spaces, food and the new friends I have made here! At the same time, I got to stay in the area I spent most of my life and be close to my daughter and a few of my grandchildren.
