From $3,195/mo

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 do not recommend Spring Ridge due to extremely poor management and poor communication. My sisters and I placed my mom here and within 2 weeks we were ready to move her out of there to another place, which we did after about a month. The head nurse of the memory care section does not return phone calls in a timely manner, 4-7 days after you leave a voice mail she might return your call. The director appears to be burned out as she acted so uncaring and dismissive to us if we had questions or concerns. On the phone and in a meeting she talked to us in a condescending, dismissive, cold manner. I think this place just wants your $$$ so if you are considering this place for a loved one, I would definitely check elsewhere." - Sandy…

Assisted Living, Memory Care

"Our initial experience with Hearthside was fantastic. However, with the change of an administrator in July of 2025, we can now longer endorse this location. We moved our loved one to get better care. The main reason was that we had lost confidence in the current administrator. We found him to be rude, arrogant and condescending. He is very unapproachable, is rarely if ever in the community with residents and does nothing to build relationships with residents or residents families. Most of the time he is in his office with the door closed and blinds drawn. While the current administrator is in place (11/2025), we would not recommend placing a loved one in this facility." - Dan…
