The staff was great. Everyone is eager to help, and they are very knowledgeable. They have made some great updates to the facility. My mom had a one bedroom, so the room size was excellent for her needs. She had everything she needed.

Very disappointing experience
I have a family member in Memory Care and the care is abysmal. No assistance with personal care for residents in a memory care facility... I have to shower my father myself and make daily visits to clean his room and at times even the floors and bathroom myself! Clothing, linen and towels have disappeared from my father's room, even though they're clearly marked with his name. Some caregivers are not even proficient in English, using phones to translate when communicating. How is this appropriate in a Memory Care facility? Very disappointing experience for our family. I'm grateful that we live close to the facility and are able to supervise my father's care.

Review for Truewood by Merrill, Venice
The single deciding factor was the amount of natural light in the unit. The others were too dark. That is, the units in the other communities did not have as many windows or were positioned as to not let in a lot of sunlight. Friends have asked and I told them it changed my perception of these facilities. A lovely option for seniors who were living alone and without help in cleaning, cooking, meds, etc.

Tour experience
I had a virtual tour with Truewood by Merrill Venice. It seemed like a great place, but the main reasons I did not choose this facility was because they only had one floor plan for the apartments in independent living. It was smaller than I wanted.

My review of Truewood by Merrill, Venice
Memory Care has a definite lack of interaction/ activity for the residents. The courtyard is very abandoned with unsafe/ broken furniture and uneven walkway and the door is frequently locked to access the outside area. The residents are cooped up and stuck with/in front of TV for greater part of the day.

Review for Truewood by Merrill
They have been great. They changed chef's, so things have really changed in the kitchen. The woman who is over the activities is great. I picked this community because the reviews talked about it being homey, and it was less expensive othan other places. It feels like family, especially with the smaller group setting in the dining area. They are very understaffed, and it would be nice if they could higher more workers. Also, they could improve on the cleanliness of the grounds, interior( carpet, furnitire, and etc)and more regular housekeeping services.

Entry Into Memory Care Can Be Challenging
I believe the community is short staffed in memory care. However, the staff they have works hard to support the residents in the memory care unit. There are three meals a day served to the residents. The community is able to accommodate dietary restrictions. The staff communication with family and friends is good about our loved one.

Not the place for your loved one to be
I would not recommend this facility. It is overpriced, especially for the quality of care. Some of the staff were good, but others would yell at the residents and even use profanity when yelling at the residents (my sister witnessed it). There were absolutely no activities. Their only entertainment was TV, other than a musician that would come and sing for the residents on Thursdays. They don't even have an activities director. We also had to supply the toilet paper, which was baffling to me. The director of nursing is in charge of housekeeping and the housekeeping is not great. The room never felt truly clean. My parents ended up getting Covid and we were assured several times that after quarantine, their room would be deep cleaned. That never happened and I asked about it several times. The only positives I can add is that the bus driver was nice and the food was good. I would not recommend this facility to anyone.

A Place for Mom has scored Venice Palms Senior Living 9.1 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
