Review for Truewood by Merrill, Modesto

I'm 100 percent satisfied with every aspect of the Truewood Facility. I'm not only surprised by the quality of the food, the friendliness of the people, and the overall willingness of the staff to help us in any way. I have been in 3 different care homes the past 13 years. Even though I was pretty good, none compare with this facility. I'm more than pleased to be here.

It's a fine, relaxing place to live!

In reference to my experience here at Merrill Gardens at Barkley Place, I'm so glad I selected this place to live. The staff is great, they genuinely care about us, and they publish an activity calendar monthly, which they give to each of us, showing by the hour what's available for each of the respondents. We are served two meals a day, and if we want something else to eat instead, or at a different time, they also offer a list of things available to eat on their "everyday menu." Our room are professionally cleaned each week, along with their changing our bedding and towels. I live in a one bedroom apartment, and there are several different other size rooms to choose from in other sections of our building. One thing's for sure, I made a great selection in where my new apartment should be located.

Our family's experience

Turners rock was exactly what we needed for my father. The staff there everyone has just been amazing and the food is awesome. It is not a cafeteria where you just get whatever they're fixing for the day, but it is an actual restaurant with a menu and specials every day for lunch or dinner. Also, you can purchase a meal for visitors to come and eat with you. The white staff are amazing and so kind to the residence. They call them by name they remember what they like to drink offer any extra help as far as maybe food needing to be cut up and they treat them with dignity and respect. Honest to goodness you walk into that facility and you do not know that you are in an assisted living facility. It feels like a high-end apartment facility and I couldn't be more pleased with the care that my dad is receiving there.

Not Sure
August 20, 2026

My neighbor stayed in a facility that was really grim compared with this place. I wish that she could've stayed here. Our friend stays here now and she declares that it's the best place she ever stayed in. The rooms are very nice and the facilities here are top notch. she invited us for lunch couple of times and breakfast too. The quality of food and preparation is really good. The staff seem to be friendly and competent too. Our friend seems to get along well with everyone and her life is interesting and never (seemingly) boring. That's got to be a good thing.

I can’t say enough about the staff at the Anthem location. We moved my mother in quite quickly and were there every step of the way to help us make it a smooth transition. Everybody has been so welcoming and helpful in making this easier for my mom. From the people in operations to the staff in the restaurant I can’t thank you enough. Everyone seems to really love what they do and have the residents needs as their number one priority.

Our experience

The staff and residents are extremely helpful, kind and friendly. It is a welcoming, inviting community. The activities vary in an effort to reach everyone, but no one is pushy. Your privacy is respected. The facility is clean. We have only been here 2 months but this community feels like home.

Lovely place

The staff has been very helpful and respectful. The apartment size is good, just right for mom's needs. I would recommend them to others who are searching for senior living for their loved one.

Would recommend...

Merrill gardens was reassuring, not pushy, and very professional while my Dad was determining if this would be the right place for him. There is a real sense of community that you see right away. Residents are not tucked away in their rooms, they eat together, visit, and enjoy activities together. The rooms are bright and smartly designed. It's everything a person could need. The facility is neat as a pin, just smells clean. My Dad's housekeeper is wonderful. They come once a week and clean for him, and the best part, put new sheets on his bed if he leaves them out. The flexibility of food is wonderful-no set meals times, residents can eat whenever they want between 7 to 7. After my Mom died my Dad's diet really suffered. Meals were lot enjoyable alone and since he has moved to Merrill Gardens it seems like one of the highlights of his day
