Merrill Gardens at Willow Glen has recorded 12 state citations and 12 verified complaints since 2021 across 48 inspections. The most serious recent finding, from August 2025, involved an insulin pen that went missing from the medication room and was later found in a different resident's room, resulting in a serious citation for medication management. In December 2025, the facility received a minor citation for failing to notify the state within 5 working days after a resident began hospice care services. Complaints alleging disrespectful staff conduct, emergency evacuation deficiencies, plumbing disrepair, overnight staff sleeping on duty, and staff consuming drugs or alcohol were investigated and not substantiated. Inspection records reference a former administrator by name, suggesting leadership changed at some point during the review period.
