Incredibly Accommodating
Incredibly accommodating. They look out for my loved one and care about them. They also do the little things that help me as well like taking any deliveries of groceries or meals from DoorDash up to their apartment for my loved one.

Took Tour with Parents
Merrill Gardens Kirkland was recommended by A Place for Mom when I said we were looking for something that had proximity to water, and ease of walking. This certainly fit the bill. It was so close to the Kirkland waterfront and to all of the downtown shops, cafés, and restaurants. Entering the lobby was a calming experience--it was quite lovely. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable in showing the available services and some of the existing floor plans. The garden areas were pretty and would be such great places to relax. We loved the movie theatre! One drawback was the lack of washer/dryer units in the apartments. They are located for sharing on each floor. That seemed to be a pretty big omission to my mom. All in all it was a very positive morning for my folks since it was the first time they had gone through this type of experience. I felt the guide was very considerate of them with regard to this. This property is definitely on the list to revisit.

More like a home.
I think it’s a fantastic community in a wonder setting and that everyone we encountered was terrific, professional , and caring. The food is good. There are two areas for residents to be outside. One has a lovely view of Lake Washington and downtown Seattle. There is also a garden seating area. There is also a downstairs seating area. It’s a very short walk to down Kirkland. More like a home.

Overall the staff is very focused on making the residents feel welcomed and cared for. Horoko, the fitness instructor and Charlie, the event coordinator, are both exceptional!! However, the Maintenance dept is inept as it takes forever to get ANYTHING done. Even the smallest of tasks take forever! Whoever runs it should be replaced by someone who actually knows how to run a maintenance dept.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Merrill Gardens at Kirkland

Merrill Gardens at Kirkland offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Merrill Gardens at Kirkland 8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
