What’s included, and common cost questions
- What does the monthly price include? Usually rent, three meals, housekeeping and activities. Care is often priced separately by level of help.
- Do prices go up? Most communities raise prices once a year. Ask how much the last increase was and how much notice they give.
- Can Medi-Cal pay? Some assisted living communities take the Assisted Living Waiver. Ask Merrill Gardens whether they do and if there’s a waiting list.

Rating & safety How to read thisThese are the state’s own categories. Type A: problems that, if not corrected, put residents’ health, safety or rights at direct and immediate risk. Type B: problems that could become a risk without correction, or record-keeping problems that affect care. Both must be corrected. Complaints the state didn’t confirm are shown but never counted against the community.

Merrill Gardens has been amazing so far for my Mom. It was a huge transition moving in - and she has been thriving at the community. They have lots of activities and the community is very warm and welcoming (staff, and residents). It’s been the best choice for our family!
