CARE LEVELS

Independent Living

Whether happily married or recently single, independent living at Merrill Gardens will provide the flexibility and freedom you deserve with the peace of mind you desire. Let us take care of the chores, including cooking, housekeeping, and apartment and yard maintenance, so that you can focus on the things you love in life.

If your needs should change, we will gladly assist you by providing an individualized care plan to suit your needs. Our communities offer private apartments with generous living space, with a choice of floor plans to fit your lifestyle. We also welcome all the personal touches that make a house a home, including your small pet.

Assisted Living

Caring vs. Providing Careimg13.gif Our Assisted Living Service Program is focused on nurturing residents to help them reach their maximum potential. Our staff seeks to foster independence rather than dependence, and to be sensitive to the individuality, privacy and freedom of choice to which our residents are entitled. In short, care is something we do, not simply a service we provide.

    Personal Care Services
    Our program generates an individually tailored service plan that supports the resident's own ability to perform activities of daily living.

Services we can assist with may include:

    • Bathing
    • Dressing
    • Grooming
    • Toileting
    • Medication management
    • Escorting
    • Safety checks
    • Dining
    • Special services

Responding to Change
We meet the changing needs of our residents by offering a fee structure that addresses the degree of need and frequency of interaction. The resident's monthly fee may increase or decrease as their needs change. Our trained staff documents services provided, and notes trends that may demonstrate a higher level of need.

Team Work
It's a team effort that works best. In order to meet our residents' needs, we are in frequent contact with families as well as physicians, counselors or therapists to discuss any challenges we may encounter.

Alzheimer's and Dementia Care

Home-Like Setting
Merrill Gardens calls our dementia care area the Garden House. At the Garden House, we are committed to providing your loved ones with Alzheimer's Disease, or related memory impairment, care in a home-like atmosphere. Garden House residents can enjoy:

    • Private and semi-private suites
    • Three nutritious meals served daily with snacks between
    • Intimate, familiar, secured environment
    • Secured outdoor courtyards
    • Outdoor walking paths
    • 24-hour staff
    • A variety of activities and social outings
    • Housekeeping and linen service

Personal Pathways Activity Program

    The journey along a pathway is often more important than the destination, especially in dementia care. Personal Pathways is Merrill Gardens' program for the Garden House that focuses on meaningful activities. Our goal is to help maintain independence and quality of life during the progression of Alzheimer's and related dementias. Personal Pathways offers activity choices that allow each resident to spend time in ways that can be meaningful and enjoyable to them. Each resident has a Personal Life History completed upon move-in to let us know of individual activities that may be of interest to them. Specially trained caregivers incorporate meaningful activities into daily life in the Garden House. Caregivers are encouraged to facilitate creative activities respecting the uniqueness of each community and individual. The Personal Pathways component allows individual differences in locale, culture, needs and interests to be accommodated. Family participation is encouraged.

Family Support

    It is important to help each resident continue to be involved with their family. Family members are encouraged to participate in the life of their loved one at Merrill Gardens. We want you to take advantage of support groups and participate in service planning meetings to increase your understanding of dementia, and to help us shape how it impacts your loved one and family.

Community Connection

    At Merrill Gardens' Garden House, we often participate in events and social activities that reflect local community culture. Although activities and social outings may vary by location, we hope to help your loved one feel actively involved in the community.
