I moved to Merrill Gardens at Wright Park to have the security and comfort of knowing others were nearby. Following my husband’s passing in 2025, I chose to stay. The staff here are genuinely kind, helpful, and caring. The food and dining staff are exceptional during daily dining, holiday buffets, and special events. Additionally, the building is beautiful and well-maintained by patient maintenance and housekeeping teams. The water and mountain views, along with the sunrises and sunsets, are stunning. Wright Park, located just across the street, offers safe walking and entertaining events through the Tacoma Parks Department. Whether you are looking for independent living, assisted living, or memory care, Merrill Gardens at Wright Park does not disappoint.

I'd live Here!
Merrill Gardens at Wright Park is a top-notch facility where you can trust your loved ones to be cared for. I moved my mother in 18 months ago and both of us have been nothing but happy. The building is beautiful and clean. It doesn't have a shade of 'old-folks-home'. The staff as well as residents are all so nice. I think they like being there too! The food is great and they even have an amazing, roof top sky terrace where extended family can gather by reservation. I recommend it to all my friends whose parents may be approaching need for assistance but want to live independently.

Great Home in a Nice, Convenient Neighborhood
My parents moved to Merrill Gardens nearly three years ago. It’s been a good move. This is a place where it’s easy to have those small but important interactions and make friends. I enjoy talking with residents and staff, and it’s clear staff cares about and enjoys working with an older population. I appreciate the nice variety of activities on offer and know that my parents take advantage of them. I like the residence’s neighborly feel thanks to the many comfortable seating areas. The building is set up for accessibility. A recent injury put my mother in a wheelchair for several months, and I gained greater appreciation for the set-up. Apartments have wide hallways, good bathroom layouts and kitchen seating which easily accommodate wheelchairs. The location is terrific – there’s a wonderful park, grocery store, pet store, bank, drugstore and more within a block. Several churches are close as well, and it’s convenient to have medical offices nearby.

Merrill Gardens at Wright Park
In Spring 2025, I visited my older sister from my home in Virginia. It was obvious by the missed medical appointments, unopened mail, unanswered professional and personal phone calls, forgotten bills, etc, that she could no longer live by herself in the spacious one-level, three bedroom house she had owned for 50 years. Fortunately, my sister agreed with me and visited four CCRCs in the greater Tacoma, WA, area. Merrill Gardens at Wright Park clearly impressed us the most from top to bottom with its friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and responsive staff and employees; my sister became a resident in September. Upon moving into MGWP, the Community Director, his assistant, and the Staff made very effort to integrate my sister into the community and even provided me updates after I had returned to VA. In July 2026, I re-visited my sister and got an immediate update by the Community Relations Asst. Clearly my sister is very contented and her lifestyle is healthier. Thank you, MGWP!

Mom is thriving here
We moved Mom into a studio apartment at Merrill Gardens Wright Park (MGWP) under assisted living in [Date Removed]. One of the important features for us is that MGWP has an amazing memory care program, as we weren’t sure how quickly Mom’s Alzheimer’s would progress and when she might need that additional level of care. It turns out it happened more quickly than expected, and the wonderful staff at MGWP helped us seamlessly transition Mom from her studio apartment on the 3rd floor into her private apartment in Garden House (the memory care unit). I can’t say enough nice things about everyone at MGWP, from the dedicated Garden House staff that help Mom stay as independent possible (Montessori style) while also making sure she stays safe, to the “cruise directors” of the whole facility, Peter and Patty who know everyone’s name and are always around to answer questions or offer a hug of support. Thank you so much!! P.S. Make sure to grab lunch at the MGWP restaurant when you visit.

I love Merrill Gardens at Wright Park
From the first time I toured the beautiful facility, I knew this is where I wanted to live. The floor plan for my one bedroom apartment is well thought out and meets all of my needs for safety and accessibility. Management was easy to work with and provided valuable resource recommendations and processes for an stress-free move. I enjoy many of the activities that are offered-- craft workshops, movies and movie discussions, book club, and a weekly happy hour with live music to name a few. The Sky Lounge on the top floor provides a beautiful setting with stunning views, a great space to entertain guests. Across the street is Wright Park with many walking paths! The dining room always has good menu options. If I want to venture out for food, there's grocery store and several restaurants nearby. Moving to Merrill Gardens provides me the level of comfort, ease, safety, and accessibility to activities that I need at this time of my life. I'm thankful to be a resident!

"Moving my aunt into Merrill Gardens has been an incredible experience, and it is easily the best decision our family could have made for her. The entire staff goes above and beyond every single day, but I want to give a special thank you to [Name Removed]. Her exceptional support, warmth, and dedication made the transition so seamless and stress-free for us. Aside from the amazing team, the food here is consistently excellent with great options, and the other residents are incredibly kind and welcoming. The building has such a bright, positive, and happy energy. It is truly an absolute pleasure to come here and visit family. We are so grateful to know our aunt is safe, happy, and surrounded by people who genuinely care about her!"

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else
My wife and I moved to Merrill Gardens (MG) at Wrights Park at the beginning of[Date Removed]. We enjoyed our spacious 2-bedroom apartment as well as meeting lots of new people who are all friendly, interesting, and supportive. Our two dogs, who had been country dogs, adapted to apartment living quickly and love their walks in the park. When my wife’s dementia worsened, we had to transition her to the memory care unit, Garden House (GH), the staff made her move easy. And the ongoing care is first rate. After her initial adjustment, she has a great relationship with her fellow residents and she loves her caregivers. We have a wonderful staff here at MG that includes maintenance who provide knowledgeable and timely service. Our two activity directors make sure there is something fun for everyone every day, whether you like games, crafts, or interesting outings. There is a half hour exercise program every day and a movie every night in the theater. And did I say that the food service is

A place you can really be at home.
I moved to Merrill Gardens shortly after I lost my husband. I could see that it was lovely, but I didn’t know if I would fit in if I would enjoy if it would meet my needs. It is a great place to live. Merrill Gardens at Wright Park has everything you would want. The apartments are lovely well maintained. The staff is like family. I think they are exceptionally good. The food is well prepared and you can eat at any time from 7 to 7. There are good activities and fun trips. The atmosphere is good. There are movies every night and fun parties. Best of all are the people who live here doesn’t take long to fit in and everyone has been kind and welcoming. I believe that this facility is the best of the best. Come along and see you won’t be disappointed.

The staff at Merrill Gardens at Wright Park is very accommodating. My sister and I, along with our husbands, came in on a Saturday morning without an appointment. [Name Removed], one of the marketing directors, met with us and gave an excellent tour which included a delicious lunch. We were so impressed with the facility that we put a deposit down to be added to the wait list for a 1 bedroom apartment. The building, furnishings and staff are all lovely. A studio apartment became available within a couple of weeks. We took it. Our mother had broken her hip and was in a recovery facility. The studio became available just as she was ready to leave the recivery center. It was perfect timing. The staff, especially [Name Removed], has taken great interest in Mom's transition to her new living situation and visits with Mom regularly and calls us with any concerns. We are very happy with Merrill Garnens at Wright Park.

Grateful to Merrill Gardens Staff
Our dad moved to Merrill Gardens Wright Park a year ago. From our first visit and everyday since, the staff has been kind, respectful and helpful. Staff members have helped our dad maintain his independence while also encouraging him to participate in the many activities offered. They went so far as to organize a weekly cribbage game so Dad could meet new people while playing his favorite game. We feel welcome during our weekly visits and are so grateful to have found such a lovely home for our dad.

Couldn't be happier with MGWP
5’s across the board. We’re moving Mom in this week and everyone has been amazing. Can't recommend MGWP enough. The location is perfect for Mom as it’s right next door to the 1st Presbyterian Church of Tacoma (big deal for her), and the Sky Deck offers an amazing view of the sound. The staff are all incredibly helpful and friendly, and animals are allowed, so we can bring our dogs to visit her. The food is also amazing.

Where Community, Care, and Comfort Meet
From the moment I visited, I felt a genuine sense of warmth and care. The team is not only professional but also incredibly attentive and kind, always going above and beyond to ensure residents feel comfortable and supported. The community itself is welcoming and vibrant, making it easy to feel at home. Every interaction, from meals to activities, reflects the facility’s commitment to creating a positive, nurturing environment. I truly appreciate the dedication of everyone here—it’s the kind of place that gives peace of mind to both residents and families. And a quick shout-out to the beautiful Sky Lounge—it’s a wonderful space to relax and enjoy the view!

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Washington’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Washington’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
