MY DAD WAS FOUND BLEEDING, BATTERED AND BRUISED SOME 20 TIMES IN 8 MONTHS. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED. MERRILL GARDENS CHARGED $6,000/MONTH FOR THIS AND THE "UNWITNESSED INJURIES" COST OVER $300,000, YET THEY ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER AND SAY HE RECEIVED GOOD CARE. I WOULD NEVER EVER RECOMMEND ANYONE GO TO ANY MERRILL GARDENS FACILITY...THESE PEOPLE JUST DO NOT CARE ABOUT RESIDENTS...ONLY ABOUT MONEY. SEE MY BLOG FOR MORE
