Everyone, from residents to staff, makes you feel welcome and loved. I have made so many friends and acquaintances in such a short time. You can be as relaxed, or involved as you want - I chose to be involved - address/deliver birthday cards for residents, member of Safety Committee and Resident Association Board member, etc. Also enjoy fun times - shopping trips, Adult Coloring classes, Wii bowling (great exercise), all kinds of card games, on site food pantry for residents needing extra can of soup or fresh banana, Gardening Club, monthly Ladies Tea or Men's get together, several types of exercise classes, church services and transportation to various churches, on site Physical and Occupational Therapy Department and on and on. In my opinion, you can't go wrong moving here. As a Resident Ambassador, I look forward to meeting new residents - - hope to see you soon.","reviewerDisplayName":"Carol B","experienceTypeId":1,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a current/former resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"A Happy Place ","reviewContent":"I love Merrill Gardens at Barkley Place. It just feels like home everyone is so nice and caring. All the staff is incredible and very sweet. The place is clean and inviting. The food is real good and tasty. There gatherings and events are so much fun. What a great place to live.","reviewerDisplayName":"Robin S","experienceTypeId":6,"experienceTypeName":"Other"},{"reviewTitle":"More than my parents and family expected!","reviewContent":"My parents, age 89, were reluctant to move to an assisted living facility and wanted to be in their own in an apartment. After visiting Merrill Gardens and seeing how clean and comfortable the facility is, they changed their minds. \n\nThey've been there over a year and a half and love it! They socialize (which they never really did before), enjoy games and entertainment, participate in managing the library and worship services. They enjoy the meals and say the food is delicious. They used to dine out all the time but now they prefer to eat in the dining room and have a fresh cooked meal.\n\nDuring the hurricane season or bad weather, we, the family, are kept up-to-date via texts with any plans of whether to evacuate, or not. My sister lives close by and was able to be with them during the storms. \n\nMy parents are happy, content, and engaged! We children (5 of us) are pleased and grateful to Merrill Gardens for making my parents living situation the best it can be!","reviewerDisplayName":"Patricia","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Review for Merrill Gardens at Barkley Place ","reviewContent":"They were very helpful at Merrill. We picked them because my loved one could afford it.","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Review for Merrill Gardens at Barkley Place","reviewContent":"The atmosphere was comfortable. Lots of activities. Great people there. Good place for my dad to stay. I would recommend it to others. My dad wasn't very happy when he found out he was moving to an independent living facility but it only took a bit of time for him to enjoy it there and make friends. After almost 3 years he is an ambassador and shows new residents around, has many friends (and has a girlfriend), does many activities and outings, and is thriving there. I am so happy I chose Merrill! \nI especially like how they handle hurricane weather. They are very prepared, stock up with food/water and employees will even stay overnight with the residents if needed. They also text regular updates with how things are going like power outages and such. Highly recommend this facility for loved ones.","reviewerDisplayName":"Lauri","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"All-in-all, a nice place to live","reviewContent":"All-in-all means that on the surface, everything looks, and is, really nice. It is when you start looking closer that you find little discrepancies. Such as: many areas that need touch-up paint, mold on the ground under an air conditioner by the pool, a lamp post knocked over by a hurricane is still on the ground. My apt is quite nice. But I've talked with other residents whose dish washer has never worked, air conditioning system leaks, some apts don't have microwaves. Nit picking? Maybe. But for what we're paying, things that are unacceptable. Great, dedicated staff. Very adequate and tasty meals.","reviewerDisplayName":"Tom Parry","experienceTypeId":1,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a current/former resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"A warm and friendly community","reviewContent":"Well I don't live there but my Mom has been there for just over a year now and although no place is perfect it is just great for her. The staff is very warm and friendly and seems to know their residents very well.","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"A nice place to live.","reviewContent":"Barkley Place is a nice place to live. The food is good. At times they run out of things that should not happen. Service is decent most of the time, and at times poor. Management is good to work with, but you need to remind them at times.All and all it is a nice place and very secure.","reviewerDisplayName":"Gerald E","experienceTypeId":1,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a current/former resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Barkley Place Review","reviewContent":"Barkley Place is well organized and sufficiently managed. The assisted living portion of the facility is all on the bottom floor with the cafeteria and all other services. Meals are good, well portioned, and served promptly. Recreation programs and events are vast - something for everyone and adaptive. The nurse and aide services are capable, careful, and responsive. The management and administration section is helpful and responsive to concerns. Military Veterans are very welcome, meet monthly for lunch, and supported. Facility security, procedures, and cleanliness are well done at Barkley Place. \n","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"staff is awesome!","reviewContent":"What I like the most about this community is keeping my daughters apprised of what's happened in my life.
