History

The Merriman House opened in 1978 as a 21-bed Intermediate Care Facility in the original hospital, and moved to a newly built 45-bed residence in 1992. It is named for Helen Bigelow Merriman, a woman who helped make The Memorial Hospital a reality in 1911. The facility's design takes advantage of our naturally wooded surroundings, and includes the ongoing addition of gardens and other outdoor areas.
