Response from Truewood by Merrill, Glen Riddle
December 4, 2024Hi There, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this review! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything.
The staff has been pretty consistent. Many of the staff have worked there a long time. They do not need to contract with agencies to staff shifts, which is great. The staff are all very friendly and responsive to my mother-in-law and our family. Overall, we are very happy with our choice! I also want to thank A Place for Mom with all of your help in our search. You really were so helpful!

We saw other places with lots of activities and events and things going on. It was a little too much at those places for our mom. Truewood is perfect. Enough to do, but not overwhelming. Our Mom has become friends with many other residents too.

After a lot of research and consideration, my sisters and I selected Truewood by Merrill in Glen Riddle for an assisted living facility for our Mom. I has turned out to be a fantastic choice! Mom is very happy with her comfortable apartment, the caring and attentive staff, and the friendly social life that this community has to over. I would give it five stars if they manage to hire more staff for the dining room; it’s the one complaint Mom consistently has that they are very short staffed at meals. Overall, though, this has proven to be a wonderful choice!

It's good as an assisted living facility. When his level of care went up, they couldn't provide as much care as he needed.

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 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.

While prior to choosing True wood , I researched a few other places including Truewood . My husband said why are you looking at all these places , I said because I want the best place possible for my mom … I visited a few places twice. / three times .. including truewood . I will tell you that I Truewood is so special , I still can not believe how every single person in that building is kind , helpful and truly amazing . From the start Fran and Lisa have been nothing but spectacular .. Above and beyond is an understatement.. my mom is comfortable there , always talks about how everyone being so nice there !! …I honestly am so happy that I choose Truewood ,. I honestly could not have gotten through the transition without[Names Removed] . I would recommend Truewood. To everyone… I am blessed that my mom is there with such. Caring staff…

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.

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.
Truewood Glen Riddle is a friendly and caring facility. We are very happy with our choice here. As far as the food goes, they need to serve meals hot!

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.

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.
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.

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.
