Merrill Gardens at Auburn is a senior living facility owned by Merrill Gardens LLC, and the building stands out as beautiful with stone accents and wooden elements, which makes the inside feel fresh and welcoming, and people will notice the bright airy common spaces right away. The apartments come in several layouts like studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom, with two-bedroom units starting at $5,195 if available, and each space lets in lots of natural light, with washer and dryer, ADA bathrooms, and showers, though the apartments don't have garbage disposals or dishwashers, and the flooring is unique compared to typical apartments. Residents live close to Auburn's dining, shopping, and recreation choices like Sun Break Cafe, Spunky Monkey Bar & Grill, and medical care at MultiCare Auburn Medical Center, so it's easy for families and friends to visit or go out without too much fuss.
Merrill Gardens at Auburn supports older adults with independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so people can stay even as their needs change, and the campus offers a type of continuing care retirement setup, making transitions smoother if someone starts out more independent and later needs more help. There are 65 licensed beds for seniors, and the community provides help with things like bathing, dressing, grooming, and taking medicine for residents who want or need extra care, especially in their assisted living and memory care units. Residents also get the benefit of staff doing the cooking, cleaning, and yard work, which gives people more time and energy to join activities-or just enjoy the day-with a packed events calendar and outings, all part of the active living program meant to help people stay busy, social, and engaged. Safety checks are in place for peace of mind.
The dining room offers the Anytime Dining option, where meals are prepared in a restaurant setting, giving people plenty of flexibility for when and what they want to eat, with nutritious choices to go along with it. People living here get a sense of independence and flexibility, but there's support and internal medicine care available if needed, along with features that match most Merrill Gardens communities. The memory care area is designed for adults living with Alzheimer's or other dementias, and services are tailored for those needs. While there's a modern, resort-style feeling, what most notice is how the spaces feel open and comfortable for real daily living, not just for show. For anyone wanting to check the place out first, there's a virtual tour and photo gallery online so families can take a look without visiting right away. With clear choices for independent, assisted, and memory care living, Merrill Gardens at Auburn gives people a way to keep some freedom and dignity, letting them stay active and social while still having help close by if they ever need it.
