Things to know before moving a loved one here
Touring and the staff were initially great and we were promised all kinds of things. After the lease was signed, suddenly communication dropped off with administrative staff, there have been staffing shortages, surprise bills, cleanliness declined severely, my dad's fees were increased $[removed]without notice, I've been trying for weeks to get a hold of admin without success, finally had to get the ombudsman involved. Positives: the staff in the memory care - Garden House, is amazing! They love my dad and treat him as family. They are just way understaffed. The activities director is the best! She sends me text pictures of my dad and communicates with me about my dad because I'm 3,000 miles away.

So happy we chose Truewood
Staff is wonderful and very welcoming! A few suggestions however... 1. Would be great if they could arrange for a podiatrist to visit the facility every 6-8 weeks or so for toenail trimming. For residents w mobility and/or memory issues, this would be a godsend. We know of many other facilities with that arrangement. 2. Would be great if visits to the salon for hair cuts could be charged to monthly invoice. That would alleviate the necessity for resident to have cash on hand or give out credit card info. 3. Wish that assisted living facility rooms had small refrigerators available, even if to rent. For elderly family member who may not be living there very long, it would be more convenient to not have to purchase one. Other than that , we are so happy that we chose Truewood for our family member.

Perfect fit for Dad
My dad fought me on moving out of his home into a facility of care. [name removed]sent us a video of an independent living apartment at Truewood. That hooked Dad. He loves the food, especially breakfast, as he is usually the first one at the dining hall. They take him to his doctor’s appointments which are less than a mile away. He goes to Walmart once or twice a week - again about a mile away. He has really perked up since moving to Truewood. Helpful staff and pleasant atmosphere. Thx so much

Staff make Truewood a wonderful community.
Having to find a memory facility for my husband was very difficult. I visited many places. I am so grateful for having been referred to Truewood by A Place For Mom. I can say that Truewood has become not only my husband’s community but mine as well. What makes Truewood the safe happy place it is,is clearly reflected in the caring nature of the staff. Many of the staff have been with Truewood for years. I think that is a reflection of the overall company. If I could have cared for my husband at home I would have. Since I couldn’t, I thank God I found Truewood.

Our Family Experience.
All the staff members were outstanding. They were professional and very helpful. The food was substandard for the high quality of the facility. I thought it would be better. I thought the [fee removed] was too much for the apartment size. The [fee removed] was worth the safety and security that my mother needed.

My parents have mentioned that breakfast is always cold but that for the most part food is satisfactory. They could use a few more activities for more mobile residents,. The cost is much lower than up north. Overall a good, safe community with a wonderful staff. They know all the residents by name. There is room for some improvement, possibly more activities, I know the residents enjoyed playing corn hole.

Review for Truewood by Merrill, New Bern
We lived in the independent living section and getting our aides from another company which I paid separately and was very happy with. I felt that what I was getting for the amount I was paying Truewood wasn't worth it. They were short staffed so the staff was overworked although extremely friendly. The Companion Service was overpriced because I got less than half of the services quoted in the contract for the same price. My husband and I moved out and into a beautiful apartment complex after 11 months saving approximately [fee removed] a month. I did keep the separate company for my aides. We're so much happier now.

Staff is very nice/activities to involve mom/she is safe and cared for. The one thing that a place for mom did have wrong was that they were all inclusive and prices would not change depending on level of care in the memory center. I did find that out on my initial visit and of course price rose by over a thousand within a few months. Overall great place!

Strongly recommend putting Truewood on your list.
The staff there are very friendly and caring and it is a big reason. I chose Truewood over some of the other facilities in our area. The independent living apartments are on the older side however, their well-maintained. The grounds are pretty and they're very accommodating for customizations if desired. If they are still offering the independent plus program that is a fabulous option for people in independent living that need to be checked in on. It provides assistance with meals by bringing them to the apt. if they're not up to going to the dining room laundry, cleaning in case of my mom an occasional dog walk.

Wonderful facility. Would Recommend.
She loves it there except for the food. She says it is so bad, with only a few exceptions. I have to supply her with so many meals. Lots of $ spent on food because she will not eat most of theirs and they do not take requests for substitutes.

I am so Grateful
We have a real chef with nutritious meals. At Atria (since changed name but not staff), the dining director often served food with high salt content. When we talked to her about it, [name removed] answered that "some people like it that way". After several trips to ER at Sentara Hospital with excessively high blood pressure, the head doctor of ER told me that this residence has a reputation for this problem. Also, vegetables were often boiled, soggy and not good quality or quantity. As a result, my diastolic pressure was often near 90 and above. Stomach problems from diarrhea to the point of black liquid. I eat some dessert each day, but carefully. I weigh exactly as directed by my doctor. Since I moved to Truewood, I do not have stomach or BP problems as I did before. [name removed], director of Activities, is excellent. However, because of space and advice of her supervisor, celebrations of birthdays and holidays are held in a small room with everyone seated around a table, served a treat and beverage just talking, no music or fun. Here at Truewood, every area is decorated for events, music, dancing and FUN for Christmas and New Year's. I can't wait till Valentine's Day.

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:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the North Carolina regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about North Carolina regulations for Assisted Living.
