Key Review Excerpts
“The team at Merrill Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga and the current residents have been nothing short of wonderful to my Dad. The facility is bright and beautiful, offers his residents an array of activities, has great food and does not 'feel' like an assisted living facility.”
“I am in a wheelchair and require extra care to go to the bathroom and to get dressed. On more than one occasion I had a man from maintenance assist me in the bathroom. I was dropped on the floor twice. I am covered in bruises because the staff is not trained in care service.”
“My mother in law just moved in last month and she has not been happier. Very safe environment, Very friendly staff, Lots of daily activities. Rooms are beautiful and well equip.”
