Not recommended

My loved one is currently a resident at Truewood by Merrill Glen Riddle. This is one of the cheapest options close to the city and the quality is bare minimum. If I had more money, I wouldn't have my loved one here. I would not recommend Truewood by Merrill Glen Riddle to others, based on our experience.

Truewood Glen Riddle Review

Truewood did not work out. My mother fell out of her wheelchair chair and broke her hip. While she was in the hospital, Truewood would not take her back. They seemed very nice, but I don't think they were watching her well enough and that's why she fell. She also fell out of bed a few times.

My experience at finding a good place for my loved one

I was very impressed with the size and cleanliness of the apartment they were very decorated very nice and made my son feel comfortable and safe there. The ground s are very nice too and will be used a lot more when the weather gets warmer. It was a good experience for my son as got therapy and has helped him become stronger, which he really needed and enjoyed. I would recommend Truwood as a good place when you are looking for a place for your loved one.

Disappointed...

We moved her out because she wasn't getting the care she needed there was a time they didn't shower her for over a month...they just put her in her room after meals... and forgot to take her to dinner one time... so many things we moved her.. it looked nice when you went in but ??? If you could walk it was a decent place but if you needed assistance it wasn't good.

Forever Grateful for the personal and loving care provided to my mom

The staff was amazing. Sometimes they sent me photos of her or helped her with her iPhone so she could FaceTime and see me and talk to me. When she went on hospice they were all advising me on what I needed to do and what extras to request for my moms comfort. This was my first time having to go thru this and they were all a big help. The GM was excellent and always made sure my concerns were addressed immediately but having to pay that much money, I expect the room the be cleaned right the first time. As for the food, my mom did not like it. While she was there there had been issues with cooks being out sick or on leave etc. hopefully they have found someone who is committed and good.

We picked this community, because prior to my mother moving in my step father was there. I would recommend that others, visit and make an educated choice. It's okay, no other experience to compare to.

My Tour Experience at Truewood by Merrill, Glen Riddle

Glen Riddle was along the lines or Rose Tree Place. I didn't find it as bright, an overwhelming, or an active community and pleasant staff for my loved one. Truewood Glenn riddle was also a good place but I did not like the feel and darkness of the memory care unit.

Comfortable home for our loved one.

We are very happy with everything at Truewood. My mother in law is very comfortable there. Her only complaint is the food is always cold. But the friendliness of the staff and residents really stands out to me. It's a very homey atmosphere.

family experience

What really stood out to us were the staff members we met with an interviewed with - they were extremely friendly and are still extremely friendly. Also the price is really good. Our loved one seems to enjoy the meals and dining service and says there is always something for him to eat. He does not participate in all the activities but what he does participate in he enjoys. Based on our experience we would recommend Truewood by Merrill to other families.

Very happy with our choice

We are very pleased. We would like to see, a more variety of activities. They are fully staffed, and there is no contract with outside agencies, which is vey important. We picked this community because, it's a very nice facility, nicely decorated, close to home, best value and it was beautiful. They are very receptive,and open to meet the needs of the residents. They also have, a bus that takes the residents to church once per week.

Excellent, except you need money to afford it. But if you have a good, healthy monthly income, it's a fantastic place. I'd live there if I could afford it. I really did think the grounds and buildings were immaculate. Lovely all around

The perfect fit for my loved one

I would tell others about how friendly everyone is at Truewood and how much they care about the patients. They've demonstrated this by informing me about everything, interacting with all of the residents, and in the way they take care of the patients in a very caring way. In regards to activities, I'm not saying it's bad, but they maybe they could modify them for those who have dementia. Right now it isn't as engaging as it could be for memory care residents. Communication between the community and myself is good. They contact me if there's a problem, but I'm there often so we do have that in-person communication as well. Overall I would recommend Truewood by Merrill, Glen Riddle to others.
