A Message From A Resident
at Merrill Gardens at Cedar Mill
"Four years ago, we made the big decision to leave our home of over 50 years and move to a retirement community so we could be closer to our adult children and grandchildren. About eight months before the move, we began touring communities in the NW Portland area — and to be honest, most ranged were not for us. Then we walked into Merrill Gardens at Cedar Mill, and instantly felt at home. People were laughing, chatting, playing games, sharing books, debating the morning news, and working on puzzles together.
We looked at each other and knew — this was the place. Since moving in, we’ve met truly remarkable people who have become dear friends. The activities keep life exciting — from exercise classes and evening movies to mountain drives, Columbia River cruises, peaceful park walks, and elegant dinners. We love being pampered in the private hair salon and sharing life with the incredible staff. We don’t just live here — we thrive here."
