    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    Residents and their families have shared overwhelmingly positive experiences at Merrill Gardens, highlighting the exceptional care, vibrant community activities, and the welcoming, professional staff. Many note the facility's commitment to creating a nourishing and happy environment, especially commendable during challenging times such as the COVID-19 pandemic, where they successfully reported zero incidents among residents and staff.

    Activities such as music lessons, card games, exercise classes, and social events like bingo and Wii bowling are frequently mentioned, contributing to a lively and engaging atmosphere for residents. The quality of food receives high praise, with the dining experience likened to eating at an excellent restaurant three times a day. The facility's location is also a plus, being conveniently situated near San Diego's attractions like Balboa Park, shops, and hospitals.

    The staff, from the General Manager to the care teams, housekeeping, and food service staff, are lauded for their kindness, patience, and attentiveness. The management's responsiveness and the overall morale among the staff are highlighted as key factors in the positive experiences of residents and their families. The facility's design, including open spaces, balconies, and patios, and amenities like the rooftop deck, are appreciated for enhancing the living experience.
