Merrill Gardens at West Covina offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care in one campus, allowing residents to move between levels of support without changing communities. Memory Care residents live in a secured environment designed to reduce wandering risk and support orientation, while Assisted Living residents receive help with daily activities as needed and Independent Living residents maintain greater autonomy with the option to add services over time.
The community is a secured property and provides clinical oversight for diabetes care, incontinence care, ambulatory support, medication management, and programs specifically created for individuals with memory loss. Staff can assist with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting when some physical help is required. Transfer support is available for residents who use walkers or wheelchairs or who need standby supervision, helping reduce fall risk during movement throughout the building.
Apartments and suites are maintained by a housekeeping team, and scheduled laundry services are part of the standard package, though not every unit includes every feature. Residents can choose floor plans that best match their space and budget preferences.
Meals are served from a set menu three times a day in the main dining room, and a bistro café is open for lighter fare and beverages throughout the day. Special dietary needs can be accommodated within the planned menus to support individual health requirements.
Residents have access to a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a wellness center, a library, landscaped outdoor spaces, a media room, and an emergency call system in each residence. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments, shopping, and local outings.
