Truewood by Merrill is a nice place from what I saw. It's an all-inclusive facility and it seems to have everything. The rooms are nice and clean, the laundry is on the same floor. The restaurant could be on the same floor, depending on which floor you choose. The price changes from one floor to the next, and the number of bedrooms changes. The laundry is down the hall, so you have to leave the room to go to the laundry. They also had a game room and an exercise room. I only met one staff member, there were some people in the lobby doing secretarial work. The one girl that took me on the tour was very very nice and informative, she took time, showed me around, answered all my questions and she was nice. I had a pleasant time with her.

It was very nice. They have a large eating facility and what we ate satisfied us. I like the room they have available but they just seemed too small. The staff was really healpful, guided us and the information they gave us was helpful.

It is one of my top 3. It was clean, the vibe was very friendly, and it had good activities. The staff was very friendly, very knowledgeable, and have called me a couple of times since to follow up. It was on a busy street, and I didn't like that.

My sister is very comfortable here. The rooms were very nice and had have multiple options, like a studio, one-bedroom, and something in between the two. They have units with balconies, so she can sit out. It was much better than being in an apartment.

We did go here. It was very nice. The receptionist person was very nice, very accommodating, and polite. I thought the community was very handicapped friendly. It’s very good. I had no complaints about it. They had a very lengthy schedule of activities where you could plug into many different things -- i.e., card clubs, theater, and movie times. There were lots of activities. I only met with one staff, and she seemed very nice. She said that she had been there for a couple of years. That was a plus because a lot of them only say it’s six months or so.

I like it. It’s very clean and the people were very nice. The dining area was quite nice and they serve three meals a day. They also have a menu that you can pick for each meal. They have lot of activities that they plan for their residents. I remember they have exercises in the morning. They also take their residents to shopping on certain days and to doctor’s appointments too. I was kind of impressed with Bay Park.

My dad liked it the best and he moved in there about 6 weeks ago. My brother is just a few minutes away so he sees him 5 times a week. They were welcoming. My dad immediately headed off with the sales director of the place. I think they treat him very well and he’s never complained about that. They seemed to be fond of him and were fairly attentive. He felt very relaxed there and without us prompting, he said he thought he’d like to stay there so that was good. It’s a little homier, a little more lived in. He has a studio which is small. There’s no stove but there are kitchen cabinets, a sink, and a counter so he could have his meals in his room, a nice big bathroom, and a little balcony. It’s comfortable and clean and the cafeteria is nice and big. He said the food is not great but pretty good and more than adequate. He sometimes forgets to go down to his meals and the ambassador there offers to bring his meals to him. She doesn’t have to do that but she does it. There’s a big library which he really likes because he can walk down the hall and just grab books and bring back to his room. They have a piano in the community area, too.

It is an independent living place but just about everybody there has a walker. I’m interested in taking walks. The staff was very nice and helpful. The apartment was a two-bedroom, quite pleasant, roomy, and on the bottom floor, which I liked a bit. The food was adequately good. They did have activities, but none that I would be interested in. There was a movie going on when I was there, and they had bingo.

My sister thought it was too far out to live here, but everything about it was very nice -- the people, the apartment, the food. The facility was beautiful. I was kind of disappointed that she didn't want to live there, but it was too far away.

I really liked it. It's only about 12 or 15 minutes from Albany where my son and his family are. I have two vehicles and I would have room for parking. I had lunch there and I liked most of the food that I had. I also liked all the people in the office. Both the clients and the people working there were all wonderful and very helpful. They had entertainment and they had trips. I am a quilter and I'd like to be able to continue my quilting. They had a quilting group but it sounded very basic although I would not mind spending time with the group at all.
