Two of our Merrill Gardens communities are coming together to support each other during Hurricane Dorian. Following an evacuation order from Governor McMaster of South Carolina, residents and team members from our Carolina Park, SC community (located outside of Charleston) traveled to Woodstock, GA to relocate during the hurricane.

The Carolina Park community booked two charter buses and made the trip Monday afternoon. Meanwhile, our Woodstock team prepared for the guests’ arrival by getting supplies, food, pillows and bedding to ensure guests could be as comfortable as possible. Everyone was happy to arrive safely to Merrill Gardens at Woodstock.
