My Tour Experience at Truewood by Merrill, Glen Riddle

Glen Riddle was along the lines or Rose Tree Place. I didn't find it as bright, an overwhelming, or an active community and pleasant staff for my loved one. Truewood Glenn riddle was also a good place but I did not like the feel and darkness of the memory care unit.

family experience

What really stood out to us were the staff members we met with an interviewed with - they were extremely friendly and are still extremely friendly. Also the price is really good. Our loved one seems to enjoy the meals and dining service and says there is always something for him to eat. He does not participate in all the activities but what he does participate in he enjoys. Based on our experience we would recommend Truewood by Merrill to other families.

Very happy with our choice

We are very pleased. We would like to see, a more variety of activities. They are fully staffed, and there is no contract with outside agencies, which is vey important. We picked this community because, it's a very nice facility, nicely decorated, close to home, best value and it was beautiful. They are very receptive,and open to meet the needs of the residents. They also have, a bus that takes the residents to church once per week.

Review for Truewood by Merrill, Glen Riddle

Excellent, except you need money to afford it. But if you have a good, healthy monthly income, it's a fantastic place. I'd live there if I could afford it. I really did think the grounds and buildings were immaculate. Lovely all around

The perfect fit for my loved one

I would tell others about how friendly everyone is at Truewood and how much they care about the patients. They've demonstrated this by informing me about everything, interacting with all of the residents, and in the way they take care of the patients in a very caring way. In regards to activities, I'm not saying it's bad, but they maybe they could modify them for those who have dementia. Right now it isn't as engaging as it could be for memory care residents. Communication between the community and myself is good. They contact me if there's a problem, but I'm there often so we do have that in-person communication as well. Overall I would recommend Truewood by Merrill, Glen Riddle to others.

Fabulous at a Value Price

The staff is very personable. The community does a good job at keeping the residents active. The staff are great at keeping the family involved and updated about our loved one. The responsiveness to our questions is fabulous, and if they don't know an answer they find it and get back to us quickly. My loved one enjoys the meals, and the residents have choices to choose from.

Our experience so far

The facility is very clean and everyone is super friendly. They all seem to love my mom. Mom really likes the activities director and she enjoys the outings that they go on. She said the food is ok, but she wishes that they had normal table wear instead of plastic forks and spoons. Nurses are also giving medications in the dining room during meals. They are looking for a new director of nursing so we hope that happens soon and things get figured out. For the amount of money that we pay, I do think that internet should be included. Overall I would definitely recommend Truewood by Merrill to others looking compared to the others that we saw.

I would recommend

We went with Truewood by Merrill because of the pricing and the individual care in sense of community. The quality of the food is good and she really likes it, however my family member has a restricted sodium diet and sometimes there is more salt in the food than there should be. The activities are great but my family member has vision problems so that is not a lot that is engaging for her. A lot of the staff members have been here a long time and that really makes an impact. I would recommend them to others looking.

Pleasant Surprise

I think it's very good as an overall place to be. Compared to other places I visited, It's right in the middle as far as being updated, meals, and activities. The affordability is still there based on all the updates. The staff have been very good. My loved one can be a tough egg, and they've actually been able to get him to go do some activities, which I didn't think would happen.

Our family had a partial virtual tour and in person tour so it was a little odd. We met with the staff in person but then virtual toured the community. We were able to see the rooms, but the community overall just seemed a little to dark.

Good experience

We chose Truewood by Merrill because of the value for the money as well as the convenience for me so I can be there quickly if need be. The layout of the facility is nice, it is 2 floors and the lower level has the dining room but then the activities and the residents rooms are all on the second floor which is nice. Overall, I would recommend to others looking.

Truewood is everything I was looking for. I would recommend it to anyone.

I had originally entered my loved one into a different place that had about 14 people in memory care. Most of them were completely uncommunicative. He needed a place where he could talk to people and be involved. And being at Truewood has given him that opportunity. It's a much brighter place, with lots of sunshine and outdoor spaces. The staff seem to be very good as well.

Mediocre Community

I would tell others that don't expect everything you hear from the sales calls and meetings. My loved one was a different community and we are finding the same things that we found there. The meals are inconsistent, you may have one good meal and several bad meals. The nursing staff is unorganized, and there is a lack of follow up from the leadership;.
