Review for Merrill Gardens at Greenville

Well it is ok but on the weekends the service is very slow and the food at times not too good. The apartment is nice but a tad small main bedroom. All in all for now I would say it's ok.

Would recommend...

Merrill gardens was reassuring, not pushy, and very professional while my Dad was determining if this would be the right place for him. There is a real sense of community that you see right away. Residents are not tucked away in their rooms, they eat together, visit, and enjoy activities together. The rooms are bright and smartly designed. It's everything a person could need. The facility is neat as a pin, just smells clean. My Dad's housekeeper is wonderful. They come once a week and clean for him, and the best part, put new sheets on his bed if he leaves them out. The flexibility of food is wonderful-no set meals times, residents can eat whenever they want between 7 to 7. After my Mom died my Dad's diet really suffered. Meals were lot enjoyable alone and since he has moved to Merrill Gardens it seems like one of the highlights of his day

Review for Merrill Gardens at Greenville

Merrill Gardens is a very good independent living facility. It's now 100% full of friendly active people. There are many activities. The food is good and employees are friendly. The parking situation is horrible. The only parking available for visitors is in a paid lot next door. If you stay a minute later than you've paid for the charge is $[removed].

Review for Merrill Gardens at Greenville

It is a beautiful place. Wish we could have stayed. We needed a place with more care due to memory issues. But, it is an independent living facility. For a title it would be Beautiful place to live with great food and lots to do nearby.

After a 3-day guest stay at Merrill Gardens in Greenville SC, we were impressed with the apartments, common areas and amenities. The facility is nearly new and shows a lot of thought and care in its design and materials. The guest suite was bright and airy, with a full kitchen, washer-dryer, handicap accessible bathroom and attractive finishes. Amenities include a theatre, activity room, fitness room, salon, heated outdoor pool, firepit, small garden and library. It is within walking distance to downtown Greenville, a charming city with shops, restaurants and cultural events. There is a large fitness facility across the road with a gym, aquatics, etc. The staff and residents were friendly and welcoming. We ate in the dining room (all meals are included in the monthly fee) and visited with many residents there. The food was good, if somewhat monotonous (2 specials per day but the remainder of the menu stays the same). We are now wait listed for an apartment.

Our families experience

The people are great. The food has gotten good reviews generally from mom. She really likes the flexibility of the dining times. Her mobility is bad right now so she's not interacting as much as she would like, but the PT and OT folks come in and help her with therapy. Yes, we would recommend Merrill Gardens at Greenville to other families.

Merrill Gardens is absolutely beautiful, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. We were immediately greeted when we entered the building, then again by the Community Relations Director who gave us a wonderful tour of the facility, answering all of our questions. Everything is very clean and spacious, and the amenities go on and on including a heated walk-in pool! We were also able to stay and enjoy a delicious meal and were very impressed with the variety, the service and the food itself. I can't say enough good things about this place. I would highly recommend Merrill Gardens to anyone looking for an Independent Living facility for themself or a loved one.

Downtown Gem for seniors!

Hey she is loving it. Definitely a true independent living community. Although some neighbors do have helpers that come in. There are a lot of young at heart folks and most participate in the offered activities. My MIL has made friends who regularly walk to Main Street and go places close to them.

Overall nice community

Merrill Gardens is a beautiful place. They also have a guaranteed satisfaction for 60 days. Our family member had some health issues with memory so we had to find a memory care facility.

Review for Merrill Gardens at Greenville

Management can always be counted on. Last year we were without power for several days. Staff came in and slept in the building, took food to people that were unable to climb the stairs cooked outside on grills, had pizzas delivered, etc. Recently there was a gas leak because a workman broke a pipe. They made sure we all got out of the building., arranged for us to go across the street to another building until it was safe to come back. they had arranged for buses to bring us back to our building and they had pizzas waiting for us because they couldn't use the kitchen.

Good news about Merrill Gardens

The food is very good to me even though a lot of renters here complain. There are numerous activities that everyone could find something to do. Trips, games, Happy Hour, birthday celebration, etc. everyone is friendly. Workers make an effort to remember everyone's name.
