Merrill Gardens at Greenville is an independent living community that provides residents with targeted medical support. The staff can coordinate oxygen management and assist residents who control diabetes with oral medications. While the community is designed for independent seniors, team members are also trained to recognize and respond to mild dementia conditions, adding an extra layer of oversight for residents who need it.

The building is staffed around the clock, and every employee undergoes background checks. Residents have access to assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when self-care needs arise, and staff can help with transfers for people who use walkers or wheelchairs. Security personnel are on-site 24 hours a day, giving families an additional measure of reassurance.

Residences vary in layout and amenities, but many feature private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, basic cable, and full kitchens. Housekeeping and linen services are included, and some apartments incorporate walk-in showers or installed shower seats for safer bathing. Because configurations differ, not every unit offers every feature.

Dining is flexible. The kitchen prepares on-order meals, offers unlimited meal service, and maintains an anytime-dining policy so residents can eat on their own schedule. Snacks are available throughout the day, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings.

Community amenities include resident parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, a pool, exercise room, movie room, game and recreation room, barber and beauty shop, concierge services, and communal gardens with courtyards and a rooftop deck. There is a bistro with a wine bar, a fireplace lounge, a fire pit, a baby grand piano, special interest clubs, a massage room with a masseur, and a dedicated transportation program that provides shuttle service for medical appointments only. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
