Giving Gratitude

As a company, we believe our impact is all about the relationships we share.  We celebrate the joy of connection every day at our communities and we are grateful for the residents, family members and team members who are part of the Merrill Gardens family. 

As we enter the holiday season, we are focusing on giving gratitude and we had special cards made so team members can easily let others know just how much they appreciate them.  We just love these special moments of gratitude. You can fill out your own gratitude card here
