I was fortunate enough to quickly find Merrill Gardens in West Chester. They made the transition from private home to senior living easy. Having no prior experience with these facilities, I depended on their expertise to guide me in making the best decision for my mother. She has adjusted beautifully because of the staff and the residents. From the first tour to our move in day, they were there to help.

We are so grateful for Merrill Gardens at West Chester. It's absolutely the best place for my father. The staff and GM are unbelievable, attuned to my Father's Day, his comings and goings and are so kind. I was looking for a facility where he could age in place and we found it. I enthusiastically recommend it but most importantly the biggest critic, my dad, gives MG a big thumbs up. Before MG my father was at a huge senior community which no longer worked for him. I wish I would have known about MG earlier. If you're looking for a senior living place for a loved one, make sure you visit Merrill Gardens at West Chester.","reviewerDisplayName":"Susan ","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"","reviewContent":"I would recommend this facility to others.

Hubby bed made daily and helps with shower. Laundry done. Pub parties often and fun. I join often. Nurses come often to room and redress wounds. Lots of daily activities. They just had rate increase, but still less than most other places I have seen.
