My grandmother was in Truewood by Merrill, Oceanside. She had a more independent senior apartment within the facility. It was just like day-to-day care. She didn't have a lot of needs. It was a pretty good experience. The workers that helped her were always really kind and did a great job. I know there was a little bit of difficulty with the changeover in management a while back, but it was also very expensive for her. That was the hardest part.
The rooms were simple and exactly what she needed. They were cozy. The staff was kind and they did their job. The atmosphere was cheerful, but quiet. I have tried their food and it was very good. They did bingo, pinochle, card games, and music. They had church service every Sunday inside the facility that a friend of hers led. There was plenty of activities. They were always improving the outside.

Merrill Gardens at Oceanside is in the city. It's not like there's a forest or anything to go walk around in. It's nice, and the people there were really friendly. They have all levels of care including assisted living. They gave me a general tour of the common areas and showed me around. They were all telling me to go live there. I wondered if they were getting paid extra because as I walked through an area, they were enthused about the place. So I thought that was kind of funny that they're like advertising for the place. The lady that came and picked me up was very nice. I think it's a great location.

My father is in Merrill Gardens at Oceanside. It was cleaner than the others, and they were able to bring down the price to meet our budget. We thought it was the best place for our budget. The staff is great, they have nurses onsite, 24/7 security, the security people are always there, and they have housekeeping. They're very proactive, especially with the quarantine.

Merrill Gardens was nice. It had a larger building, but I did not care for the layout of the unit. It was a 2-bed, 1-bath, and my parents wanted 2-baths, so it did not fit their need. The place was clean. It was right in the corner of a busy road, but it had everything the rest of them had. It was larger and had more units. The person that assisted was very nice and very informative. They had been following up with me, and they called and said that they had a two-bedroom opening up.

Merrill Gardens was good. It was more affordable than some of the other ones, and they were nicer in general. The rooms were nice and clean. The food was restaurant style. The staff was really nice and very helpful. They offered some activities, and it was up to you if you wanted to partake on them or not. It was a smaller place and not as fancy as the other one that I visited, but it was less expensive.

We went to Merrill Gardens. The staff was very nice. They were patient. The tenants seemed to really love the people that were taking care of things, and they seemed to be happy. The location was great because it was close to shopping areas, restaurants, and grocery stores. We had lunch there, and the food was very good.

I like the friendly attitude of the people at the front desk of Merrill Gardens. I remember that they had a bulletin board displayed where they honor the veterans who live there which would include my husband. It is located in a place with good weather. They were very pleasant. They had walking groups and bible study groups. They also had activities like bingo and crosswords.

Merrill Gardens at Pacific Place seemed to meet my needs better than many of the ones I saw. I am on the waiting list because it is my first choice; I am not ready to move right now. The main thing that made a difference to me was the way it was laid out so that all of the things that were essential to the heart of the whole thing were centrally located, and these are where the activities were, where the dining room was, so you didn't have to walk too far. The facility seemed well kept and nice. It just appealed to me. They showed me where the rec room was, where the TV room was, and where the chapel was. And, when I went through, the ladies were doing floral designing. The layout of all its departments, the living facilities, would fit with me, the convenience of the whole thing, and that is my need. So from that standpoint, I'd give it a high rating because it seemed to meet the needs that I have. I met one lady at reception, and she was very nice. The lady who was my guide through the facility was very friendly and very nice, and we had a good rapport.

I was very impressed with the atmosphere and feeling of the patients and care givers. The cost is a flat fee, so no extra cost for extra care. They also have a retirement side and they have some activities together. I feel my husband will be relatively happy there.
