1111 South 376th Street, Milton, WA, 98354
Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living

"Wow, I'm surprised to see that the recent change of hands isn't mentioned, and that this place is rated best of 2026, when 2026 just started! My parents moved there and love the cottages and simplicity of having the internet and cable TV (and maybe utilities?) all rolled into one package. They were also getting weekly housekeeping. Unfortunately the new management company (Avenue 5 I think) took over, so without notice they don't get any of those things, but are expected to keep paying the premium rent. My parents hoped to never move again, and the management seems to be leveraging that against them. Really unfortunate, and do not recommend!" - Emily…

Merrill Gardens at Wright Park

From $3,195/mo

5 South G Street, Tacoma, WA, 98405
Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living

"Merrill Gardens is lovely unless one actually needs the assisted living that they advertise. We had hoped that our parent would be able to end their days there, but Merrill Gardens is unwilling to provide the care they advertise and that is listed on the contract we signed. Furthermore, their head nurse is really unfit for dealing with the slightest problem and should really find employment where she doesn't have to deal with people. Many of the staff are lovely, and the facility is beautiful. Just don't plan on ever transitioning from independent living to assistant living. They cannot provide it as advertised." - S.…

"I love living in the Village Cooperative. I especially like ownership without the hassle of upkeep. We have beautiful one and two bedroom units, a caring community, and many activities, groups and committees. However, privacy is respected too. Since we have just 57 units we have established a warm, family feeling which may be lacking in larger buildings designed for senior living. I can’t imagine being in a better place." - Diane…
