Answer a few questions to get personalized results

Who are you searching for?

Residential care homes in Merrill may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Merrill care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.

Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Merrill, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.

The residence is just great! From what I have seen, the facility is clean and the staff are very friendly. We have no complaints so far, as my loved one is adjusting well and is having a positive experience here!

  • Social activities and outings
  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
