Merrill Gardens at West Covina

Merrill Gardens at West Covina offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care under one roof, and the building has plenty of light and some natural wood accents, which helps give it a nice feel along with a touch of neighborhood charm and what some call urban chic decor, and if you head up to the rooftop terrace you can look out over the city, maybe chat with friends or just get some sunshine, because there are all sorts of gathering spaces throughout the community for social activities or just a quiet moment, and things like activity rooms and common areas make it easy to spend time with others if you want to. Folks who like pets will be glad to know pets are welcome, and the building is built with handicap access and Wi-Fi, so most needs are covered.
