Merrill Gardens

I'm a current resident at Truewood by Merrill, Pinole and most everything is great. Except for the food, the food is just not good. The staff is fine, they're very friendly. The cleanliness is great. I would definitely recommend this facility to family and friends.

The size of the facility is comfortable for me… Not too big… I feel like I know most of the other residents who live here just after being here for two months. The room sizes are sufficient. The only thing missing is the pool. I would recommend Merrill Gardens at Glen Mills.

Murano Senior Living was actually my top choice. I was very impressed with the director [name removed]. She explained the "Swedish" model that they use. The lighting was very soft in there. no bright overhead lights. She explained this caused less manic episodes for seniors. The facility almost had a ski lodge feel to it, very homey and comfortable. I highly recommend others check this facility out and talk with [name removed].

The experience with the community has been very good. They seem to have a lot of activities and a very friendly Activities Director. My mom doesn't want to participate in much. The staff gets to know the families and are helpful and patient. We moved my mom to a different room from her original assignment and the staff was pretty good about working with us. The rooms have nice views with patios or balconies in all rooms.

We moved two sisters in together 6 months ago. The staff has been very accommodating helping them adjust to their new living conditions. The ladies like the meals and activities. The staff has also been very good at watching over them and suggesting changes in the care plans.

We have had a great experience at Holden Southcenter Assisted Living and Memory Care. The staff have been wonderful to work with. My loved ones enjoy living in the community, and the staff are quick to respond to any questions the family has. Overall, this is a community I would recommend to others for their loved ones. The food is delicious and there are many food options. The Management Team truly cares about the residents, you can feel and see the kindness they have for all the residents. It really is special to witness this!

We are very happy with everything at Truewood. My mother in law is very comfortable there. Her only complaint is the food is always cold. But the friendliness of the staff and residents really stands out to me. It's a very homey atmosphere.

Merrill Gardens is a community. It's easy to make friends, get out on field trips, great food, endless activities to enjoy, a movie theatre, beautiful gardens to walk in, a park across the street to enjoy, library and a staff that cares about each individual that lives there. There are mid age people there to 90 plus!

Excellent atmosphere at Merrill Gardens. 5+ stars for the food!. My father was advanced in his needs, however, and had difficulty with new care givers and attending activities.

They do a great job of keeping the facility clean. My mom says it's like living in a nice hotel. Nice, great responsive staff. They try very hard to make everyone happy. They are very proactive with the care. They learn and remember what each person wants. They customize food for individual needs. They offer a great variety of activities. Occasionally I have to schedule a time to visit my mom because she is too busy some days to see me. We shopped around a lot and Merrill Gardens at Huntington Beach was the best value.

Truewood by Merrill, Roseville was exceptional in every aspect. My loved one was not the easiest person to adapt, but they stepped in and made sure my loved one felt welcomed. I highly recommend Truewood.

I toured this facility and I was impressed with it. [name removed] was also very welcoming, no hype, just a down to Earth practical guy who believes in the quality of care.....and food there.

The Merrill Gardens at Wright's Park was wonderful; however, they were not open yet and they were more than we wanted to spend per month for the care for our loved one.

Merrill Gardens was lovely. Seemed to be a larger community than another community in the area. The staff person doing the tour was good about answering questions. I didn't see too much of the activities when I was there briefly--the residents that I saw were on their way to the dining room for breakfast.

We are very happy at Merrill Gardens at West Chester. Both the staff and the facilities are excellent.

They have been very helpful, open and friendly. They work really hard. We are very happy with the value for the money. We picked this community, because I went through A Place for Mom, and I was impressed with the tour. I would recommend to other families.

My mom is doing great. She loves it there. The transition was smooth.

We like the friendliness of the staff and residents. We like how accessible, bright and clean the facility is as well as the diverse activities.

At Truewood, everyone knows everyone's name. It's really just a warm, almost family-like environment. The staff have been super welcoming and very supportive. The care has been great. It takes a little bit of adjustment in the beginning, but now that my person is settled in, it has been great. They're very attentive to her, and they reach out to me when they have questions. It's a great value as well --unbeatable compared to the other places I looked into in the area.

I absolutely love Merrill Gardens at Glen Mills. The transition was wonderful. Everybody was great in providing as much information as possible upfront. Move-in was easy. Right from the beginning, everybody was reaching out and being inclusive. They went out of their way to find people my dad's age interested in similar activities for him to be engaged with other residents. The food is wonderful, and he's actually gained a little bit of weight. They have an assortment of activities throughout the day that are not only social but also good for your physical and mental health. He has options to try things he hasn't experienced before. And if you're interested in things they don't offer, they go out of their way to try to find others interested in the same thing and get that set up. The grounds are beautiful. The entryway is very welcoming and friendly. There's always a group of people there saying hello to you. The front desk people know everybody. They are friendly and helpful. And the room is great. They had lots of options for different room layouts. I couldn't ask for a more safe, secure place for him to be at this stage in his life without feeling like somebody is looking over his shoulder and limiting his experience. If it were available for me at my age, I would be there in a heartbeat!
