Who Is
Merrill Gardens

Merrill Gardens is a company dedicated to making a difference in the lives of residents, families and team members - this is our mission, to provide an inspiring environment where every life is defined by the possibilities.  Through various efforts put forth by our DEIA committee, our Kindness initiatives, excellent team member benefits, and an overall drive to do the right thing, Merrill Gardens is proud to be a wonderful place for people to live and work. 

As a company, we have been focusing on "Unreasonable Hospitality". This theme comes from a book by the same name by Will Guidara. We are challenging ourselves to show up for one another and for the people we serve with even more intention. We are asking how we can 'wow' someone each and every day.

A Place For Everyone

Giving Back

Giving back is in our company DNA and an ongoing committment to be part of the communities we serve. 

One example is our annual Day of Service where our General Manager and Regional Team Members partner with local organizations to make a difference.

DEIA Committee Welcome

At Merrill, we believe our strength is in our people – our customers, our team members, and our family. We are committed to creating an environment that promotes diversity and celebrates all people in an inclusive and welcoming environment.

"

"DEIA is important to me because as an Afghan American Muslim woman I know how important a true sense of belonging and equity is within the workplace and in the broader community.

Having had the opportunity to work overseas with many diverse teams, I saw firsthand how companies can benefit from creating an inclusive culture and I would like to help create that kind of environment here. 

I am honored to work for a company that is committed to DEIA initiatives and proud of what has been accomplished by this committe so far."
