Why we like it

Merrill Gardens at Santa Maria is a 330-bed assisted living community in Santa Maria, making it the largest Merrill Gardens location in California. Situated in the Central Coast's agricultural and wine country, it offers the full breadth of programming and services that only a community of this scale can provide.

  • Largest Merrill in California

    At 330 beds, this is the biggest Merrill Gardens community in the state, with the staffing depth, amenity variety, and activity programming that comes with that scale.

  • Central Coast location

    Santa Maria sits in California's wine country with a mild coastal climate, lower cost of living than LA or the Bay Area, and a relaxed agricultural-town character.

  • National operator backing

    Merrill Gardens operates communities across the western U.S., bringing consistent standards, training programs, and corporate resources.

  • Very large community

    With 330 beds, this is an unusually large facility. Some residents thrive in the bustle and variety; others may find it overwhelming compared to a smaller setting.

  • Smaller-town setting

    Santa Maria is a quieter Central Coast city. Families used to big-city amenities and healthcare networks may find fewer options nearby.
