Merrill Gardens

I'm very pleased with every aspect of Truewood. Mom loves the interior courtyard. It's large and beautiful with trees, flowers, benches and a nice path for walking. The staff is wonderful and the food good. There are plenty of activities during the day to keep mom busy. I couldn't have picked a better place. I'm happy and above all, mom is happy!

I love everything about this place. Mostly because my Mom is happy there. They go above and beyond to make it special for their residents.. I love that my Mom can eat when she wants to and order off of a 3 page menu. I love her apartment, it is so cute with a lot of light and a balcony. The activities are so fun for her. I llove how the staff makes a special attempt to talk to her and make her feel special. The facility is so clean and new with a modern decor!

The staff help develop a family based network with residents. Administration is slow to respond sometimes. The food could use more variety in the rotation. Some dishes are over cooked and MANY dishes have too much salt.

Merrill Gardens best of Brentwood is well deserved. Their emergency responses are text book. I like the high degree of social interaction between residents and between residents and staff/management

It’s been a great place for my parents to live. They have a kind and caring staff the food is pretty great, and the location along the creek is phenomenal. When I visit my parents there are many things to do that are close by. Shops, restaurants, Wal Mart right across the street, etc. but you wouldn’t know it when you are there, it’s in a private, quiet, peaceful enclave with a beautiful view of the Wasatch mountains.

Our mother has been in MG for about 4 months. She was in another community for about a year, and that experience was absolutely awful. MG has been everything we hoped for. The staff is incredibly responsive and caring. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

My older sister has been at the MG / University for 10 years. She had been living on her own but suddenly found herself needing a little more community support. The staff at MG is amazing - providing support and encouragement and all the while respecting the need for independence. MG offers a wide variety of actvities for their residents - open to everyone including family but no pressure to join in. Come and take a tour - you won't be disappointed!

Everyone extremely helpful, above and beyond what was expected! Impressed by the communication between the team. Everyone knows what’s happening with resident. Extremely clean and dining room food is very good. Early contact with residents already there, all seem very happy and speak highly of the facility.

The Pines is a perfect fit for my Mom. The staff are are kind, courteous & friendly & very nice to mom. There are a lot of fun things for me to do when she feels up to. For the value for cost, I can't answer this as my brother & sister handle this part. As far as I can tell, the staff always looks out for & will call my sister asap if there are any issues. I would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had.

The staff and residents are very nice. Apartment sizes and amenities offered are great.

The staff there are really great, and turnover has been relatively low, which means the people who care for mom on a daily basis are very familiar with her needs. Also, she has friendly people dropping in to check on her frequently throughout the day. In addition to three meals a day, someone also comes by with snacks (fruit, granola, cookies, sandwich bites, etc) twice a day.

I am there twice a week. I talk to my father every day at 10:00 AM. I interact with all the people that live there. It is a very great place. They are so helpful and friendly really great with their activities. There's always live music. They go on trips. It's a really great place. The people that work there from the present all the way down are awesome.

My mom has been at the Pines for 9 mos. now...I know that she is well taken care of and all her needs are met. The staff is wonderful and caring and I can't say enough good things about them. They are quick to respond to any questions/concerns we might have..The food is terrific. The administration plans some fun nights for the residents at least on a monthly basis on top of the daily activities...

I feel good having my daddy there and not have to check on him every single day because I know they're taking good care of him. We would definitely recommend this community to other families.

My name is Bonnie I love to live here at Merrill Gardens / Glen. Mills , I am very comfortable and feel very supported and loved by everyone . I have made so many friends here and hope to make more Our bingo and all the games are so fun in our pub !!! Come join us we have a lot of fun here ! I have lived here for 16 months and I wouldn’t change a thing .

Price increase was fair after a discussion. Staff is VERY attentive. Even the weekend staff. Everyone there cares. They ask how the family is doing and are very genuine. The facility could use an update and a deep clean. Fresh paint would help.

What I like the most about this community is that it is friendly and based on the experience I would recommend Truewood by Merrill, Port Charlotte to other families

I've been incredibly impressed with Truewood by Merrill in Pinole. The community has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, largely due to the amazing staff who have become like family. Many of them have been with the community for over a decade, demonstrating a true commitment to the residents. The location is absolutely fantastic! It offers a peaceful and serene environment while still being conveniently located near amenities. I've noticed that the community is undergoing some wonderful renovations, including fresh paint, new lighting, and upgraded carpeting. The attention to detail is evident, and it's clear that the community is dedicated to providing the best possible living experience for its residents. The new outdoor railings are a great addition and enhance the overall appeal of the community. I wholeheartedly recommend Truewood by Merrill to anyone considering independent living. It's more than just a place to reside; it's a place to thrive and build lasting friendships.

I was helping a friend and he moved into Truewood. He is still there and happy. It is a very nice facility with updated apartments and lots of activities. Welcoming, friendly and where I would live if I were old enough.

They seem to have a lot of activities for the residents and all the staff seem very nice and caring. Room sizes in the memory care unit are just fine. Not too small. I would recommend to others looking.
