View full state recordMerrill Gardens at Brentwood is a 150-bed assisted living community in Brentwood, in eastern Contra Costa County. Part of the Merrill Gardens chain, it brings corporate-level resources to a growing suburban area.
However, its safety record falls below what families should expect from a national operator.
Merrill Gardens brand
Part of a well-known national chain with standardized operations, staff training, and corporate oversight. Merrill Gardens communities are generally well-maintained.
Large community
At 150 beds, has the scale for diverse programming, dining options, and dedicated care staff.
Growing suburban area
Brentwood is one of the East Bay's newer suburbs with modern shopping, medical facilities, and a family-oriented community feel.
Below-average safety record
FYI Safety Score of 5.0 out of 9.9 is notably low for a Merrill Gardens location. This is an outlier within the chain — families should ask specifically about this community's inspection history and what corrective steps have been taken.
East Contra Costa remoteness
Brentwood is relatively far from the Bay Area core. Families commuting from Oakland, San Francisco, or the Peninsula should factor in drive time for regular visits.
