Overview of Merrill Gardens at Willow Glen

Located at 1420 Curci Drive in San Jose, California, Merrill Gardens at Willow Glen operates a 150-bed assisted living, independent living, and memory care community in a mid-rise building 3.6 miles from San Jose city center and 1.95 miles from O’Connor Hospital. Licensed since November 3, 2021, the facility is managed by Ida Gemignani under Mg At Willow Glen, LP; Shi-IV Merrill GP, LLC. Current census is 94 residents (63% occupancy, below California’s 72.8% average). Housing includes studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments (433–957 sq. ft).

Services and Amenities include resident call systems, anytime dining, weekly housekeeping, on-site maintenance, fitness center, wellness programs, transportation, and pets permitted. Licensed nurses and CNAs provide 24-hour staffing. Private-pay only; starting rate $4,900/month. Walk Score: 73 (very walkable).

Inspection Score 62/100 (D-), below California benchmark 76/100 (C). Since 2021: 51 total visits (219% above state average); 35 complaint visits (169% above average); 21 complaint investigations (110% above average). Total 12 citations: 3 Type A (at average), 9 Type B (125% above average).

There was a cockroach infestation in resident bedrooms documented from December 2023–August 2025 despite pest control contract, creating immediate health/safety risk.

Medication errors have been substantiated; an insulin pen was improperly stored in staff member’s pocket, found in another resident’s room (Type A deficiency for immediate risk). Medication documentation deficiencies detailed how 5 of 8 residents’ centrally stored medication logs had incorrect prescription numbers (potential health risk).

Insufficient staffing resulted in call button response delays: there were 71 documented instances in 2023 with maximum wait of 2 hours 41 minutes; deficiency reoccurred March 2026 citing slow call button response. The facility failed to provide 90 days’ notice of fee increases (Type B, May 2025). Hospice notification failure: facility did not notify Department within 5 days of resident admission to hospice care (December 2025).

Recent inspections (October–December 2025) found zero deficiencies, indicating remediation progress. However, many other allegations investigated were unsubstantiated, and complaint-driven visit frequency remains exceptional.

Merrill Gardens at Willow Glen serves private-pay residents across care continuum in a facility with documented substantiated violations in pest control, medication safety/documentation, staffing adequacy, and regulatory notification, accompanied by extensive complaint-driven oversight and demonstrated recent compliance improvement.
