Neutral colors and stone hearths are throughout the community, providing a comforting and inviting atmosphere for residents. Nearby, residents can visit various parks, restaurants, and easily accessible health care services at the local medical campus. Their prime location enables residents to do everything they’d like.</p>
<p>This beautiful community is a proud member of Merrill Gardens — a fifth-generation family company that understands the importance of providing a family-like atmosphere for retirement. With roots dating back to the 1890s, you can trust them to care for you or your loved one.

<h3>Community Amenities and Services</h3>
<p>The goal is to help residents lead fulfilling lives built around each individual’s pleasures and hobbies. That is exactly why the incredible activities calendar is driven by residents’ interests. From fitness classes and game nights to TED talks and cooking classes, the community is dedicated to keeping residents active and engaged in every way. With the ever-changing calendar, the only complaint seems to be that residents don’t have enough time to partake in each activity! Residents can even enjoy celebrating holidays, birthdays, and national food days.</p>
<p>To enable residents to spend time on what matters to them, the friendly staff handles daily chores and caretaking. They offer housekeeping, on-site maintenance, and scheduled transportation — so residents can live worry-free.

<p>The in-house culinary team also takes care of the cooking and offers delicious, nutritious meals daily. Additionally, residents in assisted living can benefit from services like assistance with daily living activities, medication management, safety checks, and more. In memory care, residents diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other memory loss can benefit from personalized services that cater to their unique needs.</p>
<p>Fostering a family-like atmosphere is very important — so the staff encourages residents to build connections by utilizing the shared spaces. Watch a new film in the movie theater, read a book in the library, enjoy a drink in the bistro, take a dip in the pool or hot tub, or gather around the community piano. Residents can also enjoy strolling the well-manicured courtyard or relaxing in front of the outdoor fireplace in the comfortable outdoor living area. Furthermore, residents can enjoy the on-site beauty salon and fitness center.</p>
