Merrill Gardens

Everyone is very nice. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The activities fit my loved one's lifestyle. Bingo, gardening, and more are some activities available for the residents to choose from.

Just spent two hours with [name removed] touring the facility and looking at rooms. Met a few residents and employees. [name removed] was very helpful and answered all of my questions. I left with floor plans and pricing info.

The community is very neat and clean and my loved on reallyenjoys the food. They have activities available for the residents and the staff is very nice and friendly. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

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.

We chose Truewood of new Bern because my mom had a friend in here so she knew the atmosphere and also the bang for the buck for the care you receive. They do have all types of care here so you can be here until end of life. The staff are really willing to work with families, all of our interactions have been seamless. I would recommend to others looking

I would recommend this community. They are very covid cautious. They are very clean and keeping the residents health first. It is a really good facility from the time that my loved one has been there.

We love Merrill Gardens at Ballard, my parents are very very happy here. The manager is wonderful and all of the staff are on top of everything. I would definitely recommend to others who are looking.

Our experience with Bay Park has been great so far. My dad is really enjoying his stay here and is happy.

The staff members are so caring and patient with my mom, I think they are fantastic.The meals and medication are delivered in a timely manner. I have eaten here a couple of times and I thought it was great. They do have a lot of activities provided for residents, but she does not participate in them. I think overall it is a good facility with good people, you get what you pay for. I would recommend to others looking.

We feel like we are home when we walk through the door. The staff does an amazing job taking care of our loved ones. The food is great and the chef does a great job making sure people are happy with the food. The facility is very modern and has a positive vibe. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

The cleanliness of the community, the friendliness of the staff members and the location played into our decision in choosing this community because those all did stand out to us.

This was actually our first choice. The facility is absolutely beautiful. I really liked the director, she had gone through the same thing with her mother and she just went above and beyond to help us out. All of the staff that we met were so kind and caring. I tell people all the time to check this place out.

The residents are a very nice and diverse group of people. They have lots of amenities and I feel that the community runs very well. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

For what it is worth, the meals and dining service is good and our loved one is enjoying the activities a lot she is very happy. We would recommend the Merrill Gardens at Barkley Place to families.

I visited twice with my parents and we were made to feel like part of the family. Their caring atmosphere is beautiful and wonderful ! My siblings and I have a sense of peace knowing how well our parents will be cared for at Truewood in New Bern.

If you have to be in as assisted care place, this is a wonderful place to be. I value the freedom that I have here. The staff is wonderful. They're always pleasant and helpful. They immediately learn your name and make you feel welcome. They have a lot of patience, which I appreciate. They have a lot of activities. I think all of these types of places are priced pretty highly, but I think Merrill Gardens is as fairly priced as any of them.

The community is wonderful and feels like living on a cruise ship! The are very friendly. There are a lot of activities for the residents to take advantage of. The food is very good. This seems to be one of their main attraction. They cook most of the meal when you order, it seems like it at least.

I chose Merrill Gardens because I checked several other places and it was by far the best. I have a 2 bedroom and it is very large. I have seen the 1 bedrooms and studios and they seem to be a good size as well. There is social hours in Fridays and they have other socials in between, so there is a lot of chance for engagement between residents. I would recommend to others looking.

I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. They had card games as a group, discussion group, and more for the residents to choose from for activities. There are activities available each day. They post menus for the residents to choose from. My loved one enjoyed the food in the dining room.

We're very pleased. The staff is very friendly. They work with us on finding solutions to any problems we may have. The maintenance staff has been bending over backwards to help out our loved one. She's made some friends going down to lunch and dinner. I feel like we got a good deal here.
