Exceptional Home for Mom & Dad

It's all about the leadership. Shane runs the place and he is so full of love for everyone, residents, staff and families. It's rare to fine someone this gentle, caring, and thoughtful. That transcends your all the staff, who work hard, sometimes to exhaustion, to help one another and the residents. I've never seen or heard an unkind or thoughtless word or deed. I can only hope to find such a place when it's my time to choose.

My loved one was a resident at Merrill Gardens at Rolling Hills Estates in Memory Care. The staff on the Memory Care floor were exceptional! Everything about the experience was great. I do have one suggestion: that the office staff be more knowledgeable about the tiers of service and how much things cost/how they are calculated.

Review for Merrill Gardens at West Chester

The place is great! We are so grateful for Merrill Gardens at West Chester. It's absolutely the best place for my father. The staff and GM are unbelievable, attuned to my Father's Day, his comings and goings and are so kind. I was looking for a facility where he could age in place and we found it. I enthusiastically recommend it but most importantly the biggest critic, my dad, gives MG a big thumbs up. Before MG my father was at a huge senior community which no longer worked for him. I wish I would have known about MG earlier. If you're looking for a senior living place for a loved one, make sure you visit Merrill Gardens at West Chester.

I would recommend this facility to others. Friendly and attentive staff. Move in smooth. Keep in touch with family. Food good, but not gourmet. But can order whatever they want. Plus can pre order and eat in room. Always clean. Hubby bed made daily and helps with shower. Laundry done. Pub parties often and fun. I join often. Nurses come often to room and redress wounds. Lots of daily activities. They just had rate increase, but still less than most other places I have seen.

Review for Holden Southcenter Assisted Living and Memory Care

Staff is extremely helpful The facility is old but they are doing a good job at keeping it safe The food needs to be better quality. Also it would be great to have different types of eggs in the morning They raised my rent to $225. I am on a fixed income so with this raise it doesn't leave me with much money I live in a studio apartment with no view just a view of the rooftops

Compassionate Care

It is with great pleasure I tell you how pleased I am with the excellent care my boyfriend's mother is given at The Pines of Newmarket. During the several times I have accompanied him there to visit his mother, I have seen the loving, compassionate care she consistently receives from the outstanding caregivers employed there as well as from management personnel. The thing I love best about the Pines is that the care being provided is genuine and never rings a false note. I would recommend the Pines to anyone looking for an excellent place for a loved one.

A Plus Care for Mom, Great Staff!

My mother has been at The Pines of Newmarket for 2-1/2 years. From the beginning, I knew it was the right place for her. The nursing and care staff all take the time to get to know her, they know what she likes, or doesn't like, and they respect her preferences. If she doesn't like what's on the menu, they provide something else. [names removed] of the administration are always pleasant and ready to help the family with any needs. The nursing and care staff are very kind to Mom and the family. [names removed] and others whose names I'm unsure of, usually stop to speak to Mom and the family. The facility is clean and well-maintained. There are bulletin boards with information about the day, and upcoming activities. We arrive to visit mid-morning, and there is always something going on such as live music, a game of Bingo, reading aloud about history or current events, or a craft activity. I highly recommend The Pines of Newmarket to anyone in need of care.
