There was no designated person that gave tours on the day we visited Truewood by Merrill, Riverchase, but they still accommodated us, which we appreciated. They did not have a single room available. All they had were companion rooms. The windows looked out on the parking lot, so they did not have sunny areas inside, but they had an enclosed courtyard that was sunny, bright, and had benches to sit on. That was open for residents to go out there on their own.

I toured Truewood by Merrill, Riverchase and was very impressed with Chip over there. He's the director and he seems to run a very tight ship. I looked at the memory care and everything was immaculate, very well taken care of and well kept. He knew all the residents and knew everything that was going on. So, he was on top of things. The menu looked good too and we met other people behind the scenes, like those who dispense the medication and stuff and a couple of the lunch ladies, and they all seemed very nice.

The memory care unit of Truewood by Merrill, Riverchase was very clean. The rooms looked very, very nice. The only thing that I was concerned about was the location. It was not convenient to me. The road I have to travel is going to have bad traffic. I also did not think much of the activity center or the area they had. My mom probably won't even go out there anyway. There were a few chairs in it or a couch. It was almost in a large hallway. It wasn't in a room, but it was out in the open; maybe it was what they intended for memory care. However, it was a real secure environment, and I was really impressed with the staff. I wouldn't let that activity center deter me from them. They had a beautiful outdoor area, beautiful rooms, and the residents looked happy. The management also seemed good. Sandra, who was the sales manager, and Chip, who was the director, were both great. They just came right out when I came in, so I only waited a few minutes. They came and spent all the time with me and were very thorough.

It was wonderful. We really loved the facility and the people. The rooms were just very small. The staff was very good, extremely friendly, and very knowledgeable. It was clean and very homey.
