Merrill Gardens at Green Valley Ranch offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to adjust services as needs change without leaving the community. Short-term Respite stays are available, and residents can move through established levels of care that address routine health monitoring, diabetes management, and access to on-site speech therapy.
Care delivery is backed by an emergency call system that connects residents to staff at any hour. On-site professionals include occupational and physical therapists, a podiatrist, and specialists who oversee medication management, ambulatory support, incontinence care, and hospice care. Full assistance with bathing is available, and staff can provide some physical help with eating, dressing, and toileting. The community does not admit residents with dementia-related conditions requiring memory care programming despite having clinical resources that consult on memory issues.
Apartments are designed for aging-in-place, offering layouts that may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and scheduled laundry service; specific features vary by unit, so interested families should confirm availability during a tour. Wheelchair-accessible designs and emergency response pull cords are standard throughout the residential areas.
Meals follow a set menu that can be modified for individual dietary needs, and snacks are available between scheduled dining times. Nutrition staff coordinate closely with medical personnel to ensure diet plans align with diabetes care and other clinical directives.
Residents can make use of on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and wellness rooms, a movie theater, library, pool, communal gardens, and organized special-interest clubs. Scheduled transportation connects residents to local appointments and outings. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Internet access is provided throughout the building so residents can stay connected.
