Merrill Gardens at Bankers Hill has 2 state citations and 2 verified complaints since 2021 across 12 inspections. The facility operated under new ownership when records began in August 2021. The most significant finding came in June 2025, when the state issued an immediate exclusion order removing a staff member from all contact with residents at all associated facilities following an investigation. A verified complaint investigated through early 2026 involved a non-ambulatory resident with cognitive impairment, high fall risk, and complex care needs; the investigation examined whether a staff member omitted or delayed documentation of changes in the resident's condition and had a private conversation with the resident's physician during a medical appointment. A 2024 case management review identified missing tuberculosis test documentation for a resident at the time of move-in. Annual inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025 found the facility clean, in good repair, and free of deficiencies.
