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!... Read more

My experience at The Residence of Glen Riddle has been great. I can't choose just one team member. I have to say each and every employee working at The Residence goes above and beyond their duties. From the management staff that goes out of their way to please you as a family member, the workers are always happy and willing to help out with any situation a resident or family member may have. One last thing, the care given to each and every resident there is wonderful.

I can't thank the staff at The Residence enough for what they have done not only for my grandmother, but for our family! Everyone has been awesome! They take care of everything and help with anything requested. I know they are taking care of my grandmother and she is safe, fed, with good company and is enjoying herself! Can't thank you enough!

Excellent!! Choice of shared or private room. Room cost appealing but add-on costs are concerning. Location is very good.

The staff is great. My mom is in the memory care unit and they really try to keep her occupied. From what I have observed, no one goes back to their rooms after lunch. There are games or music, dancing and I'm not sure what else. Their meals are good and everyone congregates into the dining room with all their new friends. So far, this has been a wise decision.

I enjoyed the tour. The community is well managed. The admission staff was excellent. The memory care community was spacious. One conern that I have is that the facility is under new management. Does this mean an increase in costs.
