Merion Gardens Shines with Care and Compassion

Merion Gardens is very clean, serving good and nutritious food. Wonderful activities for residents and staff is very inclusive of residents' families. We are extremely happy with my dad's care. My mom passed away this spring and staff was marvelous with us, my dad, and coordinating with hospice while they cared for my mom. Facility is showing some need for some tender loving care, but is kept very clean and tidy. Thank you for asking.

They meet/exceed all expectations of our family

The Nursing staff is forthcoming in all matters and takes prompt action to needs, real or perceived, of my mother in law. The expanded studio apartment is large enough to move around in with a rollator including into the bathroom/shower/toilet. Heat is readily available (hot!), there are many activities for housebound people to enjoy if they choose to participate. Food is reasonably tasty considering that the kitchen produces everything in bulk fashion. The cleaning people, quite joyful usually, arrive regularly an…

Merion Gardens Assisted Living: A Community Nurturing Health, Heart, and Home

Great staff - clean and spacious living quarters - great food - wonderful activities and great follow up with families. I definitely recommend to other families. The staff there truly cares and pays attention to your loved ones. They offer frequent and timely feedback and information to the families of residents. The place is lovely and clean and well maintained. The food, activities, and overall tone and environment are welcoming, loving, and again, the staff is excellent and truly care about the residents.

Critical

Poor care and not attentive to her needs.

Mom was there 3 months. She fell twice and no one told me even though I questioned her bruises. Head administrator brought in COVID-19 - and it spread to 14 residents - 4 of which died - INCLUDING my Mom. When I went in this administrator was not even wearing a mask just coming back from quarantine. One positive - I got to wear full PPE and be with Mom when she died one week after getting the virus.

Merion Gardens is a good fit for a family member

I really thought they were great. I had no regrets ever putting my loved one here. They' couldn't help Covid came along. It was difficult on the residents being more isolated. But they did the best they could. Everybody I came into contact with was great. I have absolutely no negatives to say. My loved one was happy here.
