The staff is top notch, learning resident names and preferences. Great job engaging the residents periodically on food, activity and community engagement preferences.

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★★

My husband moved into Merrill Gardens Wright Park needing supervision due to mild cognitive loss. He has greatly enjoyed living in his studio apartment and benefited so well that his cognition has shown improvement.
