The staff is wonderful.

We are very satisfied with all aspects of our experience. We are very pleased thus far with our experience at Memory Care at Riverchase Senior Living (formerly Truewood). The facility is well maintained, newly painted interior and updated furniture n the common areas. There are multiple daily activities for the residents to pick from. Our mom's apartment is large, with lots of natural light. It's always clean and well kept up. The staff is respectful and knowledgeable about her needs and her routine. The residents are well supervised. We Would not hesitate to recommend this facility to others.

Nice rooms

Room size very nice with a kitchenette and walk-in closet. Food was above average. Biggest complaint was communication with residents about activities and changes in policies to residents and families.

A Nice Place to Live.

Needed a better orientation plan for new residents. I would recommend. Parents like it and, while costly, less expensive than some other places that are less nice.

Everyone here is very helpful and the place is bright, clean and cheerful. They need to get a different chef. And as far as activities go, add a couple of new card games.

Truewood by Merrill, Riverchase

I can only speak about the memory care wing. All of the staff assigned to that wing were fantastic! They all are very kind and have an abundance of patience. [name removed] needed more medical care than what Truwood could give her due to another infection in her one remaining foot. They were very good about keeping us informed of any changes to her meds, or if she cut her arm and required bandages, if she was agitated more than usual and needed me to come calm her down...even the most innocuous thing will trigger a phone call from them. The Director was awesome, the head of Nursing was great!! The Marketing Director and the Assistant were also great...very compassionate and empathetic. They understand how difficult it is for the family and they are always there to listen. Her family and I couldn't have been more pleased with the care she received. The only "cons" I have are that I think for the cost, they should provide toilet paper, the bed pads, and either diapers or something like Depends. These places can get much better pricing when buying in bulk as opposed to me just paying regular retail pricing. My other "cons" are mostly aesthetics and efficiency of the bathroom. She was one of just a few that shared a room and the bathroom. They should add some cabinets to keep their personal items...soap, shampoo, deodorant, lotions towels, etc. That's a minor issue but organization is a big quirk for me and I just don't see it happening much with [name removed]. She would have it all in disarray anyway, just like with her clothes. Other than that, I just love Truwood and can highly recommend it for Memory Care! Oh! And the food is delicious!!

Highly recommended

We came in at the transition so it was a learning curve for everyone. We had some questions about what is required for the resident versus what is provided by the facility. The staff is very helpful and I am really happy with the memory care with [name removed] and [name removed] and their staff. [name removed] is fantastic. [name removed] was easy to deal with and was responsive to any concerns. The receptionist staff is always friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend the memory care. The assisted living is more suggestive than actual assistance. The community seems to be a nice group. I think both parents had their ups and downs. I would also like to say that having [name removed] and [name removed] as add-ons is a definite advantage

I didn't like that there was a dirty table in the eating area and the facility smell reminded me of a nursing home. Also the exit roadway has limited visibility due to the curve of the road, I would not feel comfortable having my dad maneuver out that exit. The people were very friendly.

Just about the right size, not too big, not too small. Staff was helpful, and cost was reasonable. Was located in a wooded area and had outdoor sitting areas which would be great for Spring and Fall gatherings.

I discussed my loved one's condition in detail with the representative to whom I spoke on the phone, only to find out when we came for our tour that the facility does not provide the level of care that she needs. We basically wasted a trip.

From the wonderful lady with A place for mom to the coordinator that assisted us to tour and fill out all of the paperwork this was a breath of fresh air. Each person we met was so professional and very helpful. My brother will be living at Truewood very soon and as his sister I feel very confident that he will be taken care of at every turn. Thank you to each and every wonderful person that made him feel he had found his new home.

Accommodating

Environment, cost with levels (currently doesn't need any additional services. I will say they were kind in holding my mom's room when she had a medical set back. My mom feels welcomed and is enjoying her room and the food.

My brother is in memory care. He still has enough of his mental faculties to be a bit bored day-to-day, but overall he seems content. The staff are pleasant and kind. Meals are the highlight of his day, and my brother has become a member of the 'men's table.' There is a library where he can check out books to read.
