A wonderful place for senior living, plenty of amenities , caring staff in a great east Evanston location!
I would rate the Merion on all of the above classifications as a 5! The only thing I think is a bit expensive is the cost of food and alcoholic drinks. Overall, the staff is genuinely caring and helpful. The cleanliness is fabulous. I've visited other senior facilities, even more expensive

I would rate the Merion on all of the above classifications as a 5! The only thing I think is a bit expensive is the cost of food and alcoholic drinks. Overall, the staff is genuinely caring and helpful. The cleanliness is fabulous. I've visited other senior facilities, even more expensive ones, and there was an underlying smell of urine. I would HIGHLY recommend the Merion!!! There is a nice age diversity and a smaller diverse population. I'd like to see more ethnic, & color diversity, but my uncle is very happy in this community! [name removed] and [name removed] was wonderful with his assistance!!! Walk to the grocery store, restaurants and tons of shopping options too

The experience I have had at the Merion has been fantastic. I enjoy the adversity of the residents here. The programs are very good and listed on an activities board near the dining room. The engineers and those who fix things around the building are great. When you ask them to do something it gets done. The kitchen staff and servers are very nice people, and they have good food. One of the greatest group of people that are really good is the executive staff; [name removed], [name removed], [name removed]and so many others. They have a wellness program and many other medical services that they either provide for the residents or contract out for.

Parents at The Merion
I helped my parents move to The Merion 6 months ago. I (and they) have been very impressed by the quality of the living experience there. The staff are friendly and kind, the facility sparkles, the food options are outstanding, and there are programming opportunities daily for any who want to partake. The location in downtown Evanston offers lots of walking opportunities as well (weather permitting...) All in all, a wonderful find.

There IS a place like home!
I am a people lover, and I am glad I am living here, because at some other places I looked into people are high-brow, high-nose, arrogant, letting you know they are wealthier and for that reason better than you, and/or they simply are loners mired in their bitter thoughts. Nothing like that here - friendly residents, sweet young kitchen waitresses, smiley cleaning ladies, friendly management. Bottom line: If there is a better place, why am I here?

We had a very nice tour experience with The Merion, but we were looking for some place that offered a little more independence. We also could not get a good feel for the average age of residents who lived here.

My review of The Merion
Our family was able to have an in person tour and the tour experience was great, even though they still had some small covid restrictions. However, we did not see a lot of people out and about. The apartment windows were smaller so it kind of looked like your living in a cave. The kitchens were much smaller, and with smaller appliances and not to much counter space. It was also much more expensive.

Incredible facility, incredible management team.
A "must-see" for anyone seeking a new residence for a loved one (or themselves!). The facilities are immaculate and well maintained. The food is incredible, and the F&B staff friendly and always accommodating. In fact, the entire staff is exceptional. They've managed the COVID era expertly, adapting food service and housekeeping to the times, organizing vaccinations for all residents and staff (100% of whom have received shots). Activities are varied and frequent. Apartments are spacious, up-to-date, and well-designed. Healthcare on-site allows for reliable "aging in place". My father is extremely happy here.

Thank you for such a strong endorsement, Brooks, and your kind words about many of our services and staff. As we’re hopeful for a return to a more normal summer and fall, the health and well-being of those who live and work here continues to be a top priority. It’s a privilege to have your father with us, and we hope you both continue to be satisfied and reassured about life at The Merion. We wish you all the best, and look forward to seeing you again soon.

Terrible Managment
The building staff is nice. But don't be fooled by that. The company that own the property is terrible, bad at resolving issues, and quick to engage in unethical/illegal practices to make a few extra bucks. Save yourself some grief and look elsewhere.

Since we were moving in without personally seeing the facility, [name removed] was excellent in touring my daughter and allowing my grandson to video tape the available apartment's so we could make an informed choice. [name removed] also was excellent in responding to any queries and guiding us through the process. [name removed] was very helpful with helping our daughter get the room set up for our arrival as well as when the shipped items arrived.We were without our shipped items for two weeks. Without [name removed] help we would have been totally lost. Since moving in, all the staff have very helpful and gracious. [name removed] has checked on us several times to be sure we have settled in comfortably. The food has been excellent and the help [name removed] gave us hanging our art work made the apartment feel like home.

Recent Move to the Merion
My mom recently moved into the Merion from her condo in nearby downtown Evanston. As we were going through the evaluation and visiting process, we found the Merion team to be personally engaging, empathetic, and prepared to answer all of our questions. Jayne and Maria made us feel welcome from the very beginning. The Merion's moving team was efficient and easy to work with. By choosing the Merion, my mother is able to maintain her relationships with her friends in the area and her interaction with the community as downtown Evanston is right outside the door. The Merions's activities and amenities are excellent and the food nutritious and good tasting. This type of transition is innately stressful, but we now have greater peace of mind at the Merion.

Your comments really speak to why we do what we do – to provide residents and their loved ones with greater peace of mind. Moving is stressful for nearly everyone, particularly older adults who may be leaving a family home that holds years of sentimental value. We understand how challenging this transition can be, which is why our team tries to be as informative and transparent as possible. We love that your mother has found comfort at The Merion, and that she’s able to maintain many of her connections to Evanston as a result. Thank you for your feedback and please let us know if you or your mother have any additional questions.

poor customer service
I was researching independent living facilities for my elderly father. One of them was the [Removed] as it was positively rated on various sites. Unfortunately, my experience was just the opposite. It definitely left a bad after taste. It started out typically enough. Upon calling in, I was connected with their marketing guy, [Removed]. Initially, he seemed eager to help (without being too cynical, I assume partly because he is on commission). In the first phone conversation, he provided some introductory remarks, gave his marketing spiel, described the facility, the services offered, etc., etc. And as would be expected, after the initial conversation and reviewing the information he gave, questions popped up which I proceeded to ask via email. We traded emails a couple of times including discussing a possible visit, and then, incommunicado - no response. I followed up with phone calls and left messages. Still no response. Given that jobs of this ilk have high turnover rates, I thought it's possible that he may have left for greener pastures. So, I called and asked to speak with the general manager. I was connected to one "[Removed]" (if memory serves) and left a voice mail. That was about 1 1/2 weeks ago. To this date, have not heard back. If this is the way they treat potential customers, I wonder how they would treat them once they become customers?

The food is the Best!
I would say my father-in-law is very happy at The Merion he is starting to socialize and likes joining in the activities that they offer to the residents. In fact, he is on an architectural "cruise" field trip today. The staff at The Merion are pleasant, friendly and caring, the place is clean and my father-in-law likes his room. It is a bit small but he is adjusting. The dining and food here are the BEST, my wife and I enjoy eating here as well when we come to visit. They do take the residents to doctor appointments, grocery stores and other types of shopping. I would certainly recommend the Merion to my friends and family. In fact, I would go there myself.

Thank you for taking the time to share your family’s experience at The Merion. It sounds like your father-in-law is settling in well. I know the first few months can be challenging, but I’m glad to hear he’s taking advantage of the variety of activities and social opportunities we have on and off campus. I hope you’ll stop by next time you’re visiting, and if you have any questions for us, just let me know. Vicki Botefuhr, General Manager, The Merion

The Merion offers Studio and 1 Bedroom. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Merion 9.4 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.
