Merrill Gardens at Barkley Place

I live here at Merrill Gardens and I love it here everyone is so kind and helpful I love our new activity director Joy Jenkins she goes out her way to make sure we are happy and safe.

My spouse and I have lived at Barkley Place for several years after living at other senior living facilities. We love being here because we feel like we are among family. We don't need "luxury resort style ". We care about the others and know they feel the same. Our staff are like our children and grandchildren, taking care of us when we can't do things for ourselves. We love each and every staff member, from our kitchen crew to our housekeepers, servers, front desk people, maintenance men to the office staff and activities people.

Most of the staff is amazing. The apartments are airy with lots of windows. Makes the area feel bigger and airier Wilma a server on the dining room is the most caring woman. She always listens carefully and does the best possible to accommodate our requests. They are in the process of upgrading with new hurricane windows and removing the popcorn ceilings in the common areas. The choice of carpeting is questionable. Laminate flooring would look much nicer and then eliminate a lot of staining. The women’s bathroom on the first floor needs to be upgraded.
