Merrill Gardens at Sheldon Park

My 1st 11 days at Merrill Gardens

Wonderful experience

The staff has been extremely helpful & communicative with us regarding our mom.

I am impressed with the staff. They are both friendly and anxious to help. The activities are diverse and seem to be fun for all. My daughter has made a number of new friends. My overall impression is a very positive one.
