THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!
My family and I moved our mother to Merrill Gardens in Hillsboro at the end of June from another facility in the area. From the very beginning the staff at Merrill Gardens impressed us. The friendly tour was informative and inviting. The General Manager was positive and very helpful. The reason for the move was that we were very concerned for her safety and well being at her previous location. The staff at Merrill Gardens made it clear that our mother’s health, safety and well being are their top concerns. Just recently our mother fell ill. The staff mobilized with daily health checks, food deliveries directly to her room and assistance to help get her mobility back. This is just one example of what makes Merrill Gardens a safe and caring place. To wrap it up, my mother said to me that she is as “happy as she could ever be”. We, the family, are so very thankful that she is in a loving, caring and professional place!

Great people, Beautiful Community
I moved my Mom into Merrill Gardens Hillsboro in Early July. She is now three months in and it just keeps getting better. The staff is great, very caring and always with a smile. The food they serve is so well prepared and presented. Great head chef and crew. And you can eat when ever you want, breakfast, lunch or dinner between 7AM and 7PM. the other great thing about Merrill Gardens Hillsboro, are the residents themselves. They all have been very welcoming and seem to really enjoy living there. The care givers are all very nice and seem to genuinely care about the residents. I visit alot and my worries for my mom have been greatly eased because of her new great surroundings and all the new activity she is now enjoying. Thank you to A Place For Mom for including Merrill Gardens in my list of the various Senior living communities to visit. And thank you to The great staff at Merrill Gardens Hillsboro for the great care you provide to your residents.

We couldn't be happier !!!!
Moving my Mom into Merrill Gardens Hillsboro was the best decision we've made.. I use the term "we" because it was a group decision between my Mom, my Wife and me.. My Mom is much happier now after living alone for years. We knew the Interaction with like minded and aged people would be great for her, but the decision and timing had to be hers. After 10 months of patiently waiting for the facility to open my Mom was the first guest to move In, she was treated like royalty for the first week or so as the only resident before more people started moving in, and now her journey has been better than we could have ever expected.. My Wife and I feel like when we stop to see her now we are Interrupting her new lifestyle. Merrill Gardens Is much different than other Senior Living facilities, It's very easy to navigate and the food Is great with a large menu and anytime dining. My Mom says she wishes she would have made the move sooner. [name removed] and his staff have been great to work with also.

We just moved my Dad in and he could not be happier!
We just moved my father into Merrill Gardens this past week, and I can't express how excited both he and we are that he is calling it home. The amenities and apartment are like a five star hotel, the restaurant is absolutely delicious, with a terrific menu and fun atmosphere, but the most important part is that the residents and the staff are just fantastic. The staff did everything to help my Dad and his dog Rudy feel at home from day one. Navigating senior living is very daunting and the folks at Merrill Gardens made it so easy. I'm very greatful my Dad is living there.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Oregon regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Oregon regulations for Assisted Living.
