Great place for me and my husband

I enjoy just about everything about this place. The people here are always so happy and fun to be around. We have really great activities to participate in. I love the servers and how kind they are. They are exceptionally good at their jobs and remember all of our names. I have even seen them take more than enough time to make sure we have what we needed, they are so compassionate an kind. I really love my apartment and the long hallways so I can get my daily walks in. Overall, great place.

I just love it here

We have come to love all the residents here and feel like we are a true family. MY wife and I moved here 3 years ago and it was the best decision we had when we needed a place to help take care of us. I could cry if I wanted to when I think about all the friendships. The atmosphere here promotes relaxation. I really love all the activities and the activity director. The building is very clean and smells good. I love our apartment and we couldn't ask for a better place to call home. I just love all the staff here and they are the best and most friendly people. I am so impressed how they remember all of our names and treat us with respect.

Review for Merrill Gardens at West Chester

It was a bit rocky at first but my dad seems very content. Everyone is pleasant and helpful. Nursing staff has been responsive to my dad's needs. My only complaint is with the doctor who visits the facility. Changed to that group since they are at the facility weekly. Not great with communication with family members.

Definitely recommend.

The staff are amazing. They have been extremely responsive to all of our needs and concerns. Every place could use a full time doctor and 3 nurses that are "hospice care" level humans. (Think Angels) You are not going to find that at any reasonable price point. I think in general they have been great. Truly. For the money the activities and food are better than most. The bottom line is my dad loves it there and he hated the idea of leaving his house. They coddle him and the fact is he can be... well, difficult. They have impressed me.

Mission Ridge is Marvelous!

Mission Ridge is a delightful facility for seniors. All amenities are easy to access and there is a large list of activities to participate in. Their check in/out procedures for guests and residents ensures a high level of safety and accountability. Each apartment is cleaned weekly and maintenance is available quickly for any issues that arise. The staff is caring, friendly and takes time to get to know each individual and their family. Systems are in place to address any concerns and they have a high level of communication. My dad has been welcomed into this community and enjoys meal times and the interaction he has with other Mission Ridge residents and staff members. The experience of transitioning a loved one to senior living has exceeded my expectations and I believe that is because of the heartfelt commitment of the leadership at Mission Ridge.

Small and homey

We chose this facility because it was smaller and has a very homey feel. The Admin., and nursing staff are very friendly and always have time to speak to us when we have questions. The value for the dollar is better than some others we visited before choosing Truewood. They also seemed to be staffed well compared to the facility my mother is in. There are at least 5 daily activities available to the residents and there are always residents gathering in the library or common rooms during the day. So, that means most aren't isolating themselves in their rooms.

Our families experience

The people are great. The food has gotten good reviews generally from mom. She really likes the flexibility of the dining times. Her mobility is bad right now so she's not interacting as much as she would like, but the PT and OT folks come in and help her with therapy. Yes, we would recommend Merrill Gardens at Greenville to other families.

Merrill Gardens is absolutely beautiful, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. We were immediately greeted when we entered the building, then again by the Community Relations Director who gave us a wonderful tour of the facility, answering all of our questions. Everything is very clean and spacious, and the amenities go on and on including a heated walk-in pool! We were also able to stay and enjoy a delicious meal and were very impressed with the variety, the service and the food itself. I can't say enough good things about this place. I would highly recommend Merrill Gardens to anyone looking for an Independent Living facility for themself or a loved one.

Review for Truewood by Merrill, Modesto

I chose it for myself, primarily because it fits all my needs, living space, yard and meals. I feel very comfortable living here. I get along with and respect the management and all staff that work at Truewood by Merrill in Modesto.

WE LOVE IT

On our first ( and only) tour of the brand new units, the Villas were very cleaned, well designed and had a feel of comfort. We have been here for about 3 months now and feel at home. The general manager and the property manager, both answered all of our questions. We signed up to move after just our first visit. If we need anything repaired it is handled quickly. The restaurant food is and we appreciate the daily selection. The restaurant staff is always very accommodating and attentive to our needs. We feel blessed to have found these Villas as we were needing to downsize. The move and adjustment to life at Turners Rock has been smooth.

Senior Living at Truewood

I have been at Truewood for six years, and I have found it to be a comfortable, convenient, and safe place to live. The staff is warm and friendly. They concentrate on serving the Truewood residents and making their living experience a good one. They provide interesting and healthy daily programming for independent seniors that is available but not mandatory, respecting the privacy of the residents. Truewood is an “all-inclusive experience” with food, lodging, and housekeeping provided. The attractive apartments are suited to senior requirements. I feel grateful and fortunate to live at Truewood.
