Who We Are

A Life Defined by
Possibilities

Operating as both Merrill Gardens and Truewood by Merrill across the US, we provide seniors with an active living community offering a variety of unique Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care lifestyle options. As a private, family-owned company, we enjoy a level of autonomy and independence that lets us say “Yes” to residents and team members. This helps us deliver for our family of residents every day – because we believe everyone deserves a life defined by possibilities, not limitations.

Our Legacy
Welcome to Our Family

Our dedication to our residents and their families comes from the deep roots of our fifth-generation family-owned company. Our founder, Richard Dwight (RD) Merrill, came to the Pacific Northwest in the 1890s to establish Timber Holdings. He was an innovator and one of the first to practice sustainable forestry. His tradition of attention and thoughtfulness eventually grew to include the business of caring for people.

Today, we carry on this legacy with our family of senior living communities, each one a testament to our dedication to fostering a sense of belonging and connection. We believe in treating our residents and team members as part of our extended family, providing them with a supportive and welcoming environment.

Connection is at the heart of a fulfilling life. We strive to create opportunities to discover meaning, experience joy, and find fulfillment in a comfortable, enriching atmosphere for our residents. No matter where you’re at in life’s journey, we look forward to welcoming you or your loved one home at Merrill Gardens.

This Is Who We Are. This Is What We Do.
