Merrill Gardens

Truewood is in a great location with ample parking. We like the cleanliness, and that it is well organized. The location is accommodating for visits.

My friend chose this community because she liked the style and location. And just the overall feel of being there. It doesn't feel like an "old folks home." (Her words) She is doing great and enjoying her life at Turners Rock.

Merrill Gardens has been more than we could have ever imagined for my mom's new forever home . My mother didn’t want to sell her home and move from California , but she had given up her drivers license a couple of years ago , her circle of friends , due do their age was growing smaller and all of her children lived in Washington now . I secretly met with [name removed] on multiple occasions, expressing my concerns with telling my mom about Merrill gardens . I had toured four other homes and kept coming back . [name removed] was patience and kind , even offering his phone number should I have any questions . Once I finally took my mom on her first tour , my third she surprised me and signed a lease that same day! She’s been there about six weeks and is loving meeting new people , has access to transportation for events , doctors appointments, church , shopping and so much more . She no longer feels alone . I’m happy that not only [name removed] but the entire staff is like an extended family , genuine and warm.

Mom loved it here! They are very helpful from start to finish. Mom has made friends and is comfortable there. I feel better knowing she is safe. They have safety measures in place for all. Couldn't be happier.

They are very helpful and knowledgeable. Great for families that are walking through this for the first time. Great dinners for residents, but very basic cafeteria lunch. Usually hotdogs. I would absolutely recommend Truewood Riverchase to those looking.

I think it's a vibrant Assisted Living community. I found the management staff exceptional, specifically the GM and Business Office Mgr. The facility, while older, has beautifully maintained common spaces. Nice apartment options. The meals were fine, not awesome, but definitely good. Lots of celebration activities for seasonal holidays. If your loved one likes card games, board games and puzzle socials, this is the place. The memory care is not as awesome. I toured that section and it was very small and seemed to have mainly very impaired residents and it smelled like pee.

[name removed] was very personable and friendly during the tour of Turner's Rock. The facility seemed very clean and the residents seemed engaged in the activities they were involved in. It seems to be a lovely place for a loved one to live. I am unable to review care services and meals and dining for I did not have an experience with those two areas. The dining room is beautiful.

What we like the most about Turners Rock and we would recommend them to other families - 1. Flexible times for visiting. Convenient location. 2. Dad likes the dining 3. He likes to be independent. At 98, this sometimes gets precarious. 4. Activities are suited for him. bingo & exercise.

Having to find a memory facility for my husband was very difficult. I visited many places. I am so grateful for having been referred to Truewood by A Place For Mom. I can say that Truewood has become not only my husband’s community but mine as well. What makes Truewood the safe happy place it is,is clearly reflected in the caring nature of the staff. Many of the staff have been with Truewood for years. I think that is a reflection of the overall company. If I could have cared for my husband at home I would have. Since I couldn’t, I thank God I found Truewood.

I’ve found a place that feels like home. The rooms are spacious and the staff is very nice and accommodating. This is a place where I can enjoy my life. Keep busy with activities and be happy. The staff here enjoy working here.

A 3 year old facility with light bright decor . Very attractive dining room Though they don't normally do respite care I was in a studio apartment recovering from hip surgery. I left after 6 weeks and came back to my home. I will let others know that you must bring your own furniture.

It has been a rewarding and happy year, since the move to Merrill Gardens for my Mom! We have seen the turnaround in health and well-being! She is active, happy, and loves her community and staff! Yes, we would recommend Merrill Gardens to other families, we are truly HAPPY with our decision! Professional and caring staff at Rancho Cucamonga site! A great place to live!

The common area was very open, airy and beautiful, and the unit was fully refurbished, clean and light. They were independent living so no lock downs, but had extra care available with bathing and cleaning, which she needs.

Staff is very professional and extremely responsive to needs/requests. Meals and meal times are flexible as dining room is open from 7:00am to 7:00pm. You may also take meals to your apartment. A large variety of activities from yoga to daily movies in our comfortable movie Theatre! Location is outstanding with some apartments offering views of Commencement Bay, Mt. Rainier, Cascade and Olympic Mountains as well as beautiful Wright Park!

It was a bigger facility with many programs. Lots of different things to do. Very clean with helpful, friendly staff.

When we went on initial visit the people/staff were friendly. We spoke with residents who were very complimentary about facility. It was very clean and was not depressing like some places we had visited

I chalked it up to my naivety, but it's important for people to realize the costs continue to increase. I thought there might be some rent increases eventually, but many other costs continue to be added. In hindsight it makes sense, but it was never pointed out to me and it would have been nice to have more awareness.

We picked this community because of the appearance. Friendly and knowledgeable staff size of the rooms. private baths. Good food. Park across the street. Location

Living here for almost 3 years, I find it supportive, accepting, and stimulating as needed. There are activities to chose from but also privacy when needed. The rood service is good. As a vegetarian I always have a good option. The staff is available and supportive. The weekly housekeeping is a boon. Come and see for yourself.

Cannot find a negative thing to say. We picked this community because of the appearance and price.
