Critical

I would recommend...it could be a 5 star place with some changes

Activities ...basic...they hold them weekly. Will celebrate holidays or special events. Usually involves snacks ànd or music. They could do more to encourage resident participation Food... the food is great but they need more servers. It takes awhile for people to be served and food can be cold. Staff..front office, maintenance reception desk are great. Pt and ot are very good. Nurses are good but overworked and pulled in many directions. Med techs are mostly good but there are a few who are not very friendly. T…

I visited this facility

My husband and I found Truewood to be a very appealing senior living area.. The facility appears well maintained , clean, and has several rooms for residents activities. There are 4 suite styles which are well designed for one person.. The dining room , on the lower level, is very nice and spacious. The menu is changed daily and has several choices for each meal. The staff seem to be very friendly and caring . Several group activities are planned each day for residents. The facility is in a beautiful wooded area bu…

Lovely place

The staff has been very helpful and respectful. The apartment size is good, just right for mom's needs. I would recommend them to others who are searching for senior living for their loved one.

Compassionate Care During a Difficult Time

My dad’s time at the assisted living community was difficult because of his health condition. The staff were generally kind, open, and caring, and they made efforts to support him and keep him comfortable during a challenging period. I appreciate the compassion shown to him and our family in his final days.

I visited this facility

I visited the assisted living facility of Truewood by Merrill, Glen Riddle. I was going to put my mom in there, as it's the most affordable place I have found. However, it's a little bit too out of the way, so it wasn't really realistic. It was nice, though. It's small, and the grounds are very nice. It's very beautiful, and there are lots of flowers. It's on top of a hill, so there are really no neighbors. I really liked the property. The staff who gave the tour was very kind and frie…
