I would recommend...it could be a 5 star place with some changes

Activities ...basic...they hold them weekly. Will celebrate holidays or special events. Usually involves snacks ànd or music. They could do more to encourage resident participation Food... the food is great but they need more servers. It takes awhile for people to be served and food can be cold. Staff..front office, maintenance reception desk are great. Pt and ot are very good. Nurses are good but overworked and pulled in many directions. Med techs are mostly good but there are a few who are not very friendly. The care givers are hit or miss. A few are super great but most are average below ave. They seem to just do what they have to ...if that and are very slow...take there time. They can be hard to understand Cleanliness màin building is very clean ...there is urine smell in residence hallways sometimes...but it is taken care of pretty quickly. The cleaner who does the rooms is thorough and friendly. Maintenance man is superb! Room size is fine...just wish it was more of a square or rectangle hard to furnish on all the angles or closets in middle of the room

Compassionate Care During a Difficult Time

My dad’s time at the assisted living community was difficult because of his health condition. The staff were generally kind, open, and caring, and they made efforts to support him and keep him comfortable during a challenging period. I appreciate the compassion shown to him and our family in his final days.

Great fit

[name removed] is safe and being taken care of. The staff is caring and kind. Dr. [name removed] has been very supportive and is looking out for [name removed]. There are lots of activities that are available and cover different areas of interest. She feels the food sometimes lacks spices.

We are looking for a residence for our mother and the visit to Truwood was very pleasant and informative. The facilities and programs are very impressive. We also appreciated the information provided by our tour guide and more importantly, the clear communication regarding their pricing structure. Truwood is definitely a place to be considered and remains in the top three of those locations on our short list.

Review for Truewood by Merrill, Glen Riddle

I like the home the size of my mother's room is great. All the people that we deal with have been wonderful and easy to talk to the nurses are good. My mother is now in a contained area because of her dementia, but as probably many residence, she still wants to go home.

Our tour of Truewood was pleasant, especially the two people with whom we interacted--- [Name Removed], who led our tour, and the young lady at the front desk. The facility seemed quite nice, perhaps a little darker (less light) than some others we have toured. Each facility has its highs and lows. We continue our search for a place for my aunt, and Truewood is one we would consider.

Everyone at Truewood was very helpful. We were able to look at different sized rooms as well as tour the memory unit. The residents looked engaged and the lunch we saw seemed to please the residents. We have made arrangements for {Name Removed] to move in there as soon as she is discharged from the nursing/rehab facility. Thank you for your help in suggesting Truewood.

Truewood by Merrill

The evenings and weekend there is no nurse. They have med techs on. They basically can check your bp take a temp give you a band aid or your meds Food is great. Not institutional. Although they need more servers sometimes they only have one person handing out food and it takes a long while to get your meal Also you have assigned seats in dining hall..so you always have a place. But my dads table mate is not friendly so he is not engaging in conversation like other tables are I had hoped they would be more encouraging with getting residents to join activities. But my dad is a bit introverted and wont just show up. Figure out a mens related activity for them to join Its a shame but it is a bit cliquey with residents...i think women will have a better time adjusting and meeting people Although the facility is clean..sometimes it smells in the hallways...but they do keep up with it...doesnt last very long The sales people present living there with a bit of rose colored glasses. I do see the manager and the admin stafff engaged on the weekends or with evening activities I think they could do a better job onboarding new residents.. You feel like you are bothering people asking questions .just not clear on who to reach out to The Bayada staff they have on site for nurse and pt/ot are superb. They will text or call you even in the weekend if you have a problem or question

One thing that was very disappointing was no assist with transportation to drs appointments. We looked at another facility that believed did do that. I live in NJ so that has been an issue. My other brother does live in PA so does handle a lot of transportation.

Check on your loved one …. ALOT

You do not get the services you are paying for . They assign levels of care and charge a lot of money for them and your loved one does not receive the service’s . The rooms ( some of them ) do not get cleaned thoroughly , depending on who’s assigned to them. Meds assistance , random times the meds are given . Sometimes at 7:00 am , then the next day you need to track down the med cart in the hallway at 11:00 am! Shower assistance, they stand by and watch , that’s it . Random charges to your credit card, or bank account . Check it every month . Stomach virus going around the facility and family members not told , you show up to visit only to find out from your loved one that there is a contagious virus going around , and they had to ask if there was a virus going around !!!! I’m sure there is more I could write . The only thing is that they are all like this and worse . The care industry is broken , the people who care for our elderly do not care !!!

Small and homey

We chose this facility because it was smaller and has a very homey feel. The Admin., and nursing staff are very friendly and always have time to speak to us when we have questions. The value for the dollar is better than some others we visited before choosing Truewood. They also seemed to be staffed well compared to the facility my mother is in. There are at least 5 daily activities available to the residents and there are always residents gathering in the library or common rooms during the day. So, that means most aren't isolating themselves in their rooms.

Poor poor poor food qualty

Quality of food AWFUL…a feeling shared by most…beef like chewing rubber bands. Chicken dried almost impossible to cut No place to entertain visitors….entertainers not very good Limited activities Corporate ownerships not connected with residents,salaries like most similar facilities can’t attract better help. But compared to similar places,this isn’t a bad place to spend “golden years”….no one ever expected to end our last years in any -laces like this Could be a little more understanding of resident emotions

Accurately assess services offered

Unfortunately, being new to the process of finding living arrangements for mom it was not clear what the limitations and services of assisted-living were. She really did not qualify for it. The nurse who assessed her for entrance into Truewood shouldn't have accepted her. The place was very clean and well kept. Unfortunately, only one elevator was on service which made getting downstairs to a dining room chaotic. Meds were distributed right there in front of the elevator area… don't know if it would've been smoother process if all had been working. Unfortunately, mom was only there for one week before she developed pneumonia and had to go to the hospital. When it was clear she could not return to that facility that same nurse told me some staff said she needed too much care and wasn't a good fit and he told me he agreed but " took a chance" on her and thought she would do well!

Truewood genuinely cares

Most of the staff have been at Truewood a long time, which speaks volumes to me. They genuinely care about their residents! And there are wonderful volunteers who do special events that stand out (like a Mother's Day Tea or Kentucky Derby party). There's a warm and friendly atmosphere about the place! I'm really glad this is where Mom is because she's well cared for!

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Pennsylvania’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Pennsylvania’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
