What families are saying

We’ve gathered and summarized real family reviews from across the internet for you. Contact a Seniorly representative for details.
Reviews of The Ackerly/Merrill Gardens at Sherwood are highly mixed, with many more positive comments about the independent and assisted-living areas than about memory care. Positive reviewers consistently praise the beautiful, modern, clean, and well-maintained building, describing it as bright, open, welcoming, and comparable to a five-star hotel. Families and residents often commend the friendly, caring, professional staff, responsive management, helpful sales and onboarding teams, and strong communication. Activities, outings, exercise programs, happy hours, live music, transportation, and social opportunities are frequently highlighted. Several reviewers say their loved ones feel welcomed, engaged, and happy, and they appreciate the spacious apartments, housekeeping, amenities, and convenient location. Many report that the food is good, varied, and attractively served, although experiences differ significantly. The main criticisms concern staffing levels, turnover, and care consistency, particularly in The Opal memory-care unit. Some families report inadequate supervision, limited nursing coverage, poorly trained or inattentive caregivers, delayed responses, hygiene problems, insufficient supplies, residents left in soiled clothing or briefs, limited showers, and poor assistance with oral care. These reviewers describe management as unresponsive and characterize the care as neglectful, advising families to investigate carefully before placement. Other families strongly dispute those accounts, reporting attentive staff, clean rooms, good meals, meaningful activities, and open communication. Food is another recurring concern. Several families describe memory-care meals as poor-quality, unappetizing, or inadequately prepared, including an example of an allegedly hard baked potato and disappointing Salisbury steak. Conversely, numerous residents and families praise the dining service, menu variety, restaurant-style setting, and staff kindness. Overall, the community appears attractive and socially active, but prospective residents should evaluate staffing, care practices, and dining separately for each level of care.
