Community that feels Like Home","reviewContent":"I had a great experience with Merrill Gardens before my dad decided to move he was in two places that weren’t mentally healthy or social. He loved the atmosphere and people off the bat. There are still many things yet to come with Merrill Gardens and the area surrounding it. I love the grounds and their historical background. The people there are wonderful, although I do know seniors can get a bit grumpy. To be honest if I could move in today at 40 I definitely would but I have to wait another dang 22 years and hopefully Merrill Gardens being a family owed and operated and focused they will still be great when I come of age.","reviewerDisplayName":"Mary S","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Review for Merrill Gardens at Columbia","reviewContent":"My friend is reasonably happy there. She picked this place because of ts proximity to friends, and church, and they allowed her to keep her dog with her.","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Review for Merrill Gardens at Columbia","reviewContent":"It was amazing! Great staff, food, and the apartments are beautiful. I'd highly recommend.","reviewerDisplayName":"Amy","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Merrill Gardens at Columbia review ","reviewContent":"We of course love everything about Merrill Gardens at Columbia. The place itself and all the things they offer the best senior home in Columbia and surroundings in S.C. Thank you so much for helping me get a place there","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":3,"experienceTypeName":"I live or lived in this community"},{"reviewTitle":"A happy new camper!","reviewContent":"The only issue we had was with the initial intake paperwork. It was not clear what was needed from us and the timing of those items. We did a lot of unnecessary scrambling around for paperwork and medical documents on that could have been handled more efficiently. We'd never done this before so we just didn't know and we got conflicting information from the staff. A checklist and a timeline of expectations for new residents and families would have been extremely helpful. Beyond that, my father-in-law is very happy there and seems to be adjusting well.","reviewerDisplayName":"LH","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Affordable Luxury Senior Living ","reviewContent":"It is in a 'hot ' area of Downtown...The Bull Street District. The biggest complaint is about the food being cold and/or too fancy .... everyone complains. But on the plus side the menu offers many options and one can eat anytime from 11 to 7. Continental breakfast in the morning. Washer and dryer in room, 2 burner stove and microwave. Staff is very patient and kind, listening to residents ask the same questions over and over. Studio through 2 bedroom available. Rent goes up every year. Free cleaning once a week but very 'light'. Utilities and meals included in rent as well as transportation to Dr. Appointments. Good security. Nicer than any other places I've seen.","reviewerDisplayName":"RB","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Happy dad","reviewContent":"My dad has been very happy at Merrill Gardens at Columbia so far.\n\nThe food served is great! He does say that he would like a church service or transportation to a local church on Sundays if possible. \n\nI would recommend this facility to others who are looking.","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Has Promise and Great Location","reviewContent":"My friend had to wait for room cleaning before moving in to her room because \"the housekeeper was on vacation\".....

Such a beautiful place! It's a wonderful place to live.

All of the staff were what really stuck out to us.
