Why we like it

Merrill Gardens at Lafayette is a 100-bed assisted living community in Lafayette, nestled in the Lamorinda corridor of the East Bay. Part of the well-established Merrill Gardens chain, it combines the resources of a national operator with the charm of a smaller, residential-scale community in one of the East Bay's most desirable neighborhoods.

Excellent safety record
Holds a 9.7 FYI Safety Score, reflecting a near-spotless inspection history with California's licensing authority.
Desirable Lamorinda location
Lafayette is a quiet, affluent community in the East Bay hills with easy BART access, walkable downtown shops, and a strong sense of neighborhood.
National operator backing
Merrill Gardens operates communities across the western U.S., bringing standardized training, staffing depth, and corporate oversight.
Right-sized community
At 100 beds, large enough for robust programming and staffing but small enough that residents aren't lost in the crowd.
East Bay premium pricing
Lamorinda is one of the pricier pockets of the East Bay, and costs here reflect the neighborhood.
