Merrill Gardens at Sheldon Park provides both Assisted Living and a dedicated Memory Care program, enabling residents with varying levels of independence or cognitive change to stay in one community. Clinical capabilities include wound care management, oxygen support, and oversight of residents who control diabetes with oral medications. Staff members are trained to work with individuals experiencing mild dementia, and the care team can arrange transfers for people who use walkers or wheelchairs, need standby supervision, or require a one-person assist.

A licensed nurse is on site and another is on call around the clock, and all personnel have cleared background checks. Overnight staffing is awake, and a pull-cord alert system links each suite to 24-hour responders. The community maintains a secure perimeter and a fenced rear area for residents who may wander. On-site services extend to stroke recovery, hospice coordination, podiatry, dentistry, massage therapy, physical and occupational therapy, incontinence care, and medication management. An activity director coordinates therapeutic programs throughout the day while the nursing team provides scheduled assessments and care plan updates.

Private studio and one-bedroom apartments are available, some with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, individual climate controls, cable service, and options to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided by staff. Not every apartment includes every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a tour.

Daily dining offers a choice between a rotating set menu and made-to-order selections, with snacks available at any time. A private dining room can be reserved for family events, and the culinary team supports physician-ordered diet modifications such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanically altered textures.

Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty salon, exercise room, internet access, and a library. Outdoor space includes communal gardens, and religious services are conducted on campus. A concierge arranges local transportation, supplemented by scheduled medical-only shuttles and proximity to public transit. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
