Calson Management

Truewood has been amazing! My father-in-law is receiving excellent care, loves the activities, and has made lots of new friends. Their communication with us has been great!

My mom has lived here on and off for three and a half years. We returned after trying different places because she is most comfortable at this facility. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, and quick to tell me of any concerns. I feel confident putting her in their care, and trust their judgement in medical emergencies. It is clean, elegant and efficient. Mom is in a remodeled room and it was done well. All in all, I feel confident recommending Riverstone Terrace and have done so with my clients when asked about the facility.

They are very sympathetic to the family and try to make things easier. Their staff is very caring.

My favorite thing is the large courtyard in the center of the facility. Very large, pretty and safe. It's like a small park. Mom is out there walking daily. They have fantastic activities. Something going most of the day.

1. Overall experience. (5+) From the start of this very difficult experience, everyone has been so helpful, understanding and informative. Staff answered all of my questions, often before I could even ask the question! Throughout the process of getting my mother moved in, I was completely comfortable with the decision that I made. 2. Cleanliness of the facility (5). This place is amazing. With the size of the facility and number of occupants its appearance both inside and outside was immaculate. The inside air was, for a lack of a better description “Fresh”. No overpowering fragrances, just clean fresh air. Fragrances lead me to question air quality…What unpleasant smells are they trying to mask and cover up. Not here. 3. Friendliness (5). The entire Staff, Caregivers, Medical personnel, Cooks, restaurant workers, Janitors and handymen always have a smile on their face. Upon seeing or passing them in the hallway you’re greeted with a cheerful “Good Morning” or “Good Evening.” My mother has been there since [date removed] and I’m amazed at the number of Staff that know her name and apartment number. 4. Quality of care. (5). I couldn’t be more pleased. Especially with the medical staff. From [date removed] my mother had 3 medical episodes requiring 911 assistance and transportation to a local hospital. Medical staff responded immediately and began attending to mom. While this was going on, Staff members moved furniture and other items knowing the first responders would need room to work. Very impressive!! Considering I was a law enforcement officer for 44 years and had responded to 100’s of medical incidents throughout my career it was clear to me that ALL staff had an assignment, they immediately responded, knew what their task was and handled. 5. Administrative Staff (5). They were extremely helpful from the get go. In addition to knowing my mothers name, they remembered my name as well! They frequently are seen walking through the hallways talking to residents or popping into activities rooms. They also are very available if I’ve had a question. They expertly guided me through the entire process, told me what to expect and how to organize matters for my mom. 6. Food. (5+). I frequently had lunch or dinner with mom at the beginning, honestly, I was checking up on the quality of the food. The Chef and staff prepare delicious, healthy meals. Not only is the food good, it’s “presentation” on the plate ties it all in. I actually call mom to find out what’s on the menu and go to dinner with her. 7. Activities (5). Numerous random activities throughout the month. When mom moved in she was very recluse which Staff had warned me about saying that new residents frequently exhibit that characteristic. But in keeping with what I’ve touched on above, Staff had a plan. They would daily stop by moms apartment to take her down for meals, activities. Staff would place my mom at certain tables with other residents, knowing that they would engage mom on issues and topics. I refer to these residents as “Closers”!! They knew how to “close the deal” with a new resident and make her feel welcome and at Home. That was very comforting to know that they helped mom adjust to her new environment. 8. Value for the money (5++). You definitely get your moneys worth here. Honestly, when I began touring communities, Atria Park was my first stop. I toured other facilities after. With every tour, I couldn’t help comparing them to Atria Park. This one is too dark….Atria had light everywhere. This one is too Quiet…..from the moment you walked in to Atria Park it sounded “Alive”. There was no contest. I knew where I wanted my mother to live. Please pass on my thanks to all that were helpful in this endeavor.

What we like the most about Cornerstone Assisted Living is that it is family owned, they supported my mom through a complex out of state move after my mom had a health crisis. Very friendly and caring, they were flexible and met us where we're at. I really appreciate the staff and clinical team's support in helping my mom regain her mobility.

Chef and food have been amazing according to my mom. The price if affordable comparatively. They had many activities that seemed appropriate for mom too. Highly recommend Atria Park of San Mateo!

My mom was only under their care for two weeks as she passed just two weeks after moving there.. they freshly painted her room, put in new carpet and fixed some minor repairs before she moved in. The staff were very helpful and available. She had too short of a stay to evaluate the care services, meals, activities and value for cost.

They let my mom bring her cat. Plus they check on her every 2 hours. She is bedbound. They are very patient and understanding

They have been very helpful with my cousin. The staff is very kind and friendly. My cousin really likes it there. The food is good and they will go remind him that it is dinner time if he forgets. I would recommend it to anyone.

Our friend is in the memory care bldg. They have an assisted living bldg for people who need care but don't have dementia, across the street. Great dining room & food variety. Caregivers seem very kind. Honestly, such a relief to have found such a great place where we know she's cared for. And honestly finding a place for our friend wouldn't have been the smooth process it was without the help of A Place for Mom. It helped us narrow our list to an affordable but excellent facilities. And no pressure.

They genuinely care about their residents. What stuck out was {name removed]care coordinator - I followed her from [community removed]

Friendly, attentive and knowledgeable staff. A lot of activities for those who don’t want to stay in their room. Entertainment every week. Several activities every day. Movies in the theater. A lot of choices for meals. Specials daily as well as a set menu. Also a bistro open until 4:00 pm. With snacks and beverages. The facility is clean and well taken care of. Special event for holidays. I’m comfortable with my mother there. She loves it.

I would suggest that they take a tour and also go to one of their open house activities so they get a better feel for the place. I like the friendly staff that treats my mom like family and appreciate that they give necessary updates when they see fit. The memory care staff are caring and patient so I'm grateful for finding them.

Space is great - large rooms and walls half glass so there is plenty of light. The people are a community. So many of the residents volunteer to create experiences for all to share. Newcomers are welcomed into the community.

They are accommodating, friendly and welcoming to the residents and the family. There's plenty of activities to keep busy and pleasant places to just sit and relax. Everyone from the cleaning staff to the administrators are very helpful and go above and beyond. There are quite frequently only meat options for lunch and dinner which my mother doesn't eat. There should always be at least one no meat option. Although there are set things she can order if she doesn't like the choices, she gets tired of having to eat the same thing. That said she is a picky eater but according to her there are quite a few residents who complain also.It's hard to please everyone, but there definitely should be daily non meat choices. One more thing about the chef. He does try and call meetings to hear people's issues and I believe he's trying to accommodate everyone. It's not possible to please everyone. It takes a lot of patience

Very nice facility with good staff. Since they are just starting they are still ramping up services and staff. But overall good.

Truewood by Merrill, Clovis was the first and only facility we toured. There is something special about Beau and the staff that let us know our grandmother would be cared for. Truewood is clean, the staff go above and beyond, the facility communicates effectively with residents and their families, and most importantly there’s transparency. Our grandmother was concerned with making friends. She’s been there only a couple of months. Recently, we went to visit and she shortened our visit (kicked us out, haha!) because it was lunch time and she couldn’t wait to see her friends.

Mostly food needs improvement. Generally all is run well and place is clean. Apt and Clovis rather safe place. Area and inside quiet. I am very glad to be here. Medical response is very good. Most residents are low energy. I'm high energy and independent but I keep a low profile. Lots of walkers. I recommend this place for nice and calm natured gray haired.

[name removed] and [name removed] were quite instrumental in bringing this move to a more than satisfactory conclusion. If it wasn’t for her/them my mother & I might still be searching. Thank you, thank you for all you’ve done.
