Nice place to live

All office staff are friendly and helpful. The caregivers that we have worked with are very friendly and caring. Dining room staff is very friendly and so is the cleaning staff. Overall it is a very pleasant place to live/visit. They hold monthly meetings with the administrator and residents to discuss anyone's concerns. Many activities and outings are offered, convenience of a hair salon, exercise room (they offer a lot of exercise classes), and a very nice pool. The facility is very open, a lot of light and a…

I visited this facility

Merrill Gardens at Rancho Cucamonga would be my number 2. It is super close to the other place; it is just that the locations are different. It is a little cheaper, too. They have all three levels of care. They have different wings of the floor for different stages. The apartments are really nice. They have granite countertops. They have many, many different styles, but it's according to what they have at the moment. The bathrooms are always large, so you can get a wheelchair in there. They have showers that y…

Exceptional

My mother was only there for three months, as she passed away in September. During the three months she was there, the staff took great care of her. Merrill Gardens is beautiful and well maintained. Everyone who works there is caring and communicative with the family.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My father is staying in Merrill Gardens at Rancho Cucamonga and it's spotlessly clean. The staff is kind, always friendly, supportive, and professional. For meals, there's a full menu they can select from as if they were in a restaurant to eat their meals and I think it's nice. My dad is in their assisted living since he gets extra care. He gets assistance when he goes to meals. He walks by himself but someone is walking with him. He also has shower support and incontinence care. They get him ready i…

So glad we found Merrill Gardens for our parents

We have been looking for an assisted living facility for my parents for quite some time. We looked at many places but knew we were at home when we walked into Merrill Gardens and were greeted by wonderful staff. We had to move my dad in earlier than my mom, and they provided the extra services he needed. The place is beautiful, and we love how they decorate for the holidays. We are excited that my parents have started to get to know other people, especially other couples, and that there are so many activities they …
