Mom loves her new home

All are a 5 except food. Quality of food has been going down and my mom and others are not happy. We also got hit with a a $700 increase the first of the year. The staff is great and my mom loves it there, other than the food. Mom is in a studio apartment and we have managed to fit a lot in. She is very comfortable

Mom is very happy with her decision to live at Merrill Gardens. She feels well taken care of and everyone, the residents and staff are welcoming and friendly. It is a nice size, large enough to have good activities but not so many people that a person can't get to know or at least recognize most of the other residents.

They continue to be very kind and helpful, remembering her name, daily paper, meal favorites, medicine administration and greeting her family. I would definitely recommend Merrill Gardens at Gilroy to others.

Review for Truewood by Merrill, Modesto

Exemplary community! The environment and well being of the residents is an obvious top priority!The personnel is extremely friendly and helpful, as are each and every resident. Workers as well as residents all speak very highly of Truewood. The community always looks, smells, and is kept very clean. There are multiple activities daily for residents to engage in, should they choose to participate. Games, exercise classes, crafts, singalongs, group outings, all intended to build relationships, and stimulate minds & bodies. Often times there are "special monthly events" which are spectacular - enjoyed equally by employees as well as residents. From the top management, to director, housekeeping, maintenance staff, front desk receptionists, activities director, and salon stylist, all are professional, very responsive, caring, and compassionate. It is a real sense of family at Truewood, a genuine, loving, caring community where residents thrive!

When touring multiple facilities in the area there really was no comparison to Eagleview Landing. For one, the quality of construction stood out as just a level above - exterior and interior. The management team - [name removed] especially were so friendly, knowledgeable and welcome. We were fortunate enough to try a meal and were impressed that the quality was like a luxurious hotel! Overall when we are ready there really is no question where we will send our parents to! So happy to have this in our backyard! Not to mention the town center that they will be able to walk to.

My mother is a resident at Truewood by Merrill Clovis and the experience has been great. My mother really enjoys the food. The staff is very caring and friendly, and they are always cleaning. They send texts about important info, also. Most importantly, my mother has not declined mentally or physically in over a year since she has been there. As for the activities, [name removed] keeps the residents busy and he does activities with them to stimulate their minds, but my mom doesn't always participate.

Our family would definitely recommend Truewood by Merrill Georgetown-because it is a smaller facility and it has a family feel. The common areas are bright and inviting and the dining hall has the feel of a nicer restaurant. The staff treats each resident with dignity and every day there are a variety of activities to participate in. My Dad has had several medical emergencies and the staff was in constant communication with us and extremely helpful.

Experience at Mission Ridge @ Quail Creek

First the reception and greetings received as we were joining the community was great. We are very pleased with our decision. The facility is brand new with modern kitchen appliances including the washer/dryer combination in the apartment. Staff has been very helpful as we settled in after moving. We found the food and service to be of high standards. The variety of entrees and desserts are extensive and the everyday fining menu provides a variety of choices. Rooms are quiet and the HVAC works well and provides consistent comfort. The atmosphere is very peaceful with a feeling of relaxation. A variety of activities are available that permits a blending of the neighborhood based on personal interests. Quality cable tv and Wi-Fi are provided and provides great entertainment. The Independent Living is truly independent and encourages a feeling of neighborhood.
