There's So Much to See and Do Here at The Hampshire

What Our Residents Say

group of seniors enjoying coffee
"I recently had the pleasure of touring the Hampshire. I felt right at home from the minute I walked in the door. I could not have asked for better customer service. The facility is very clean and well maintained. I was impressed with the apartments. The carpet is nicer than the usual "apartment style" carpet. I also had lunch with three wonderful ladies who were residents of the Hampshire. They were delightful. The food was delicious and I left the table feeling full. The Hampshire felt homey and safe. I felt like I had come home."

"My name is Ron. My mom is 85 years old. She has lived alone for 40 years. It was time for her to move and not live alone anymore. My brother and I researched all the senior living facilities in Merced County. We chose the Hampshire. I move my mom in and stayed with her for approximately two weeks. Everyone there was wonderful. They all made my mom and I feel very comfortable. Thank you to everyone who works here at Hampshire."
