We love Merrill Gardens at Rancho Cucamonga! My mother-in-law is so happy here. The staff is so loving and helpful. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The care services, activities and food are also great. In fact, I now have my mother moving into Merrill Gardens at Rancho Cucamonga this week. We will now have both moms in the area, one in a studio apartment and one in a one bedroom apartment, just a two minute drive away from me. I would recommend this facility to others.

Peace of mind for the entire family

My loved one is currently a resident at Merrill Gardens at Auburn. The staff is incredibly helpful, super nice and very knowledgeable. The logistics were well coordinated for the move in process. I recommend bringing an extra hand truck. All of the hallways are wide. Communication with the family is excellent! The staff is very proactive and responsive. The entire staff is over the top nice. The food is fantastic; fine dining. The chef does a wonderful job with the menu and there's many options to choose from for all meals. I personally enjoy the wine selections. They have daily activities (Mom especially enjoys the daily movies, bingo and a visit every couple months or so to get her hair and nails done). There's always something to do and plenty of companionship. This facility is a fantastic place and is the perfect home for mom! I would recommend this facility to others.

Very happy & secure with her living there

They keep the family involved. They put out a month of activity & outings. I would say, I would live there. The food is awesome. You have multiple options every meal. Their turkey sandwich is so good. Spaghetti is good. You can get vegetable choices. Side options with every meal. Family can eat with you for $10. They do your laundry every week. Clean your room every week. I love the fact that they provide you with an emergency button. Also 1 in the bedroom, 1 in the bathroom & 1 in the living area.

My mother is currently a resident at Truewood by Merrill Charlotte Center and overall things have been great. However, personally I don't think they have good communication with me. I'm there every other day usually and some things I've had to call and ask several times before getting the answer that I need. I would recommend this facility, but I do think that you have to keep on top of things there.

I've been living here for 13 month's; and basically it's been a new experience for me! Most of the staff here are friendly and very helpful! Sometimes they are not on the same page but most of the time it is runned very smoothly! The food is good most of the time; and the activities are plenty with lots of choices! So far in the month's I've been here it's been a pleasant place to Live!

Excellent

Although I am a fairly new resident, I have had many personal experiences with retirement facilities through the care of my own parents and in-laws. Truewood by Merrill, Roseville, is one of the best retirement communities I have met. The management personnel and staff members are a very informed and supportive group. The servers in our restaurant style dining room are eager to please with their friendly smiles and helpful personalities. Menu choices are varied, meals very appealing and portions are generous. Activities and special events fill each day of the month. With our dedicated bus service, we can schedule medical appointments, shopping, church services and special scenic trips. Our activities director is another great asset to Truewood; being very talented and energetic we enjoy creative craft projects, Happy Hours, live music and many celebrations on special holidays. Truewood is, needless to say, highly recommended.

MY HOME!!!

I HAVE LIVED AT TRUEWOOD FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS. I LOVE MY APARTMENT, THE BALCONY AND WINDOWS AND THE SPACIOUSNESS. I LOVE THE STAFF, EVERYONE OF THEM, WHO WORK HARD TO MEET MY NEEDS AND DESIRES. ARE THEY ALWAYS ABLE TO MEET MY EXPECTATIONS, OF COURSE NOT BUT PRETTY DARNED CLOSE. THE ATMOSPHERE IS WARM AND FRIENDLY WITH A VARIETY OF RESIDENTS WITH SOME AMAZING EXPERIENCES. THE FOOD IS NUTRITIOUS WITH A VARIETY OF MEALS AND DISHES THAT WE CAN ALL FIND SOMETHING THAT WE ENJOY. IS IT EXACTLY LIKE I MADE AT HOME, WELL, NO BUT I DON'T HAVE TO SHOP FOR IT OR COOK IT AND VERY OFTEN IT IS EVEN BETTER THAN I WOULD COOK AT HOME - WINN/WINN! THERE IS A GREAT VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES FROM WHICH TO CHOOSE TO MEET OUR INDIVIDUAL INTERESTS. TRIPS AROUND THE AREA ARE INTERESTING AND CREATIVE. I AM GLAD I AM HERE!!!

Retirement at Truewood

I am enjoying my life at Truewood with the beautiful surroundings and helpful, amiable staff. Updated decor would be appreciated and would greatly enhance the appeal of this independent living facility.

A wonderful caring facility

Turners Rock Senior Living Community is a great place, you just have to be able to afford it. You get what you pay for. The main reasons we chose this facility over others that we had looked into initially was because of the cleanliness of the facility, the beauty, the restaurant-style food and the activities provided for the residents. I would recommend Turners Rock to others looking for independent living.

A friendly community of people with a caring staff.

What our family likes the most about the Merrill Gardens community is the people. They get it and aren't just there to "work" but they understanding the whole thing.

Tour experience

Out of all of the independent and assisted living communities, Truewood by Merrill Henderson was my favorite. When the time comes to move Mom to a location where she will need some of the assistance provided, I would move here there. Truewood was very clean, friendly, it seemed to be the most active and felt the most like an apartment community with assistance capabilities, while still being within a reasonable price range.

A hidden gem of a community tucked away in New Bern.

The friendliness of the staff members and the value for cost receive 5+. Truewood by Merrill, New Bern has been an absolutely fabulous experience all the way around. When it comes to the activities they have Ice cream socials, Resident led specialty groups, Happy Hour, Singers, Musicians, Bridge, Holiday themed , special events, Daily events are announced in the dining room. Amenities are within minutes for easy access for residents and guests. A very welcoming place with NC southern charm.
