MerryWood on Park offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to choose the level of daily support they prefer while remaining in the same community. The care team can manage oxygen therapy, serve residents under 60, and oversee diabetic care whether residents use oral medications or injections. Staff members are also trained to support individuals with mild dementia, providing steady routines and gentle redirection when needed. Because a licensed nurse is always on call, any change in a resident’s health status can be evaluated promptly and escalated to physicians or family members if required.
Around-the-clock staffing includes RNs or LPNs, a full-time activity director, and security personnel who monitor the community 24 hours a day. Background checks are completed for all employees, and safety measures such as fenced outdoor areas, alarmed exterior doors, pull-cord alerts, and personal emergency response systems help reduce wandering risks and speed staff response times. Residents can see an on-site podiatrist, and a dedicated therapy room supports rehabilitation goals without leaving the property. For personal care, team members provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while residents who can manage eating independently are encouraged to do so. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision to one-person assists for walkers or wheelchairs.
Apartments vary in size and features, but many include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable hookups, and the option to paint or decorate. Some units also contain in-suite laundry; housekeeping and linen service are provided community-wide. Residents choosing Independent Living can add medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan, blending autonomy with the reassurance of professional oversight. Not every apartment includes every feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to confirm specific layouts during a tour.
Dining is structured but flexible. Meals can be ordered restaurant-style, and snacks are available throughout the day. When desired, residents may have trays delivered to their rooms, or they can reserve the private dining room for family gatherings. The culinary staff coordinates menus with physicians or dietitians to align with diabetic or other specialized dietary requirements.
Amenities and services round out the lifestyle at MerryWood on Park. Residents have access to parking, an exercise room, a wellness center, a pool, communal gardens, and paved walkways that are wheelchair accessible. On-site conveniences include a barber/beauty shop, library, movie room, concierge desk, and scheduled religious services. Internet access is available throughout the campus, and a shuttle provides medical transportation while the property’s location near public transit offers additional travel options. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
