Review for Truewood by Merrill, Boise

I would say it very homey and the people and staff there are very friendly. The residents seem pretty happy. Obviously every place has its issues, but my mom is safe and happy.I picked it because some of the other places that I visited were either depressing or felt very sterile ( like a hotel). This one really has a more homey feel.

I am so Grateful

We have a real chef with nutritious meals. At Atria (since changed name but not staff), the dining director often served food with high salt content. When we talked to her about it, [name removed] answered that "some people like it that way". After several trips to ER at Sentara Hospital with excessively high blood pressure, the head doctor of ER told me that this residence has a reputation for this problem. Also, vegetables were often boiled, soggy and not good quality or quantity. As a result, my diastolic pressure was often near 90 and above. Stomach problems from diarrhea to the point of black liquid. I eat some dessert each day, but carefully. I weigh exactly as directed by my doctor. Since I moved to Truewood, I do not have stomach or BP problems as I did before. [name removed], director of Activities, is excellent. However, because of space and advice of her supervisor, celebrations of birthdays and holidays are held in a small room with everyone seated around a table, served a treat and beverage just talking, no music or fun. Here at Truewood, every area is decorated for events, music, dancing and FUN for Christmas and New Year's. I can't wait till Valentine's Day.

Would Recommend

Our experience was excellent and continues to be so. [name removed] loves her apartment and the area is very convenient. I would recommend Merrill Gardens to anyone. It's beautiful and didn't feel like you would think of a place with assisted living to look. Also, the sky lounge is stunning.

I am currently a resident at Truewood by Merrill Riverchase and I have no problems with anything. I would recommend this facility to others.

Mom is extremely happy

We chose Merrill Gardens at Barkley Place because of the location and my mother liked the facility best. The staff are very friendly and engaging. New tenant orientation is very good and welcoming. Meals/food is excellent.

When I arrived, I started to smile.....

When I arrived here at MGWP 5 months ago, I started to smile. The location, the inviting atmosphere, the friendly staff. It all felt right and it still does! The friendly staff keep me safe and attend to all of my needs. The comfortable dining room serves the best from-scratch soup in town along with tasty, varied entrees and desserts like my Grandma used to make. The lobby lounges, terraces, game and activity room flank the theater and gym. Parties fill the Sky Lounge and regularly spill out onto the panoramic Rooftop Deck! Meanwhile, the activities team fill the calendar with extraordinary outings as well as great events inside our beautiful community. This is the place for ME!

Happy Mom, Happy Family

Staff have been very welcoming and friendly, including them all knowing her name immediately. We celebrated mom's 80th birthday a month after she moved in and they went out of their way to set up a room for the celebration. The majority of the other residents have also been very friendly and my mom has made friends already. In regards to the facility, although a little older, it is well maintained, clean and maintenance has responded quickly to any requests made.
