Merrill Gardens

5 for all. I would highly recommend Truewood by Merrill, Boise to other families based on the experience so far.

[name removed] and I have lived here for nine months now. We are still very happy to be here. The quality of the surroundings is still first rate. The best part of Mission Ridge is the staff. Everyone seems happy to be working here, so the treatment we receive is first rate. We cannot imagine a better place to live.

This place was perfect. A few things I really like about it is how extremely kind and caring the management was.

My mother was only there for three months, as she passed away in September. During the three months she was there, the staff took great care of her. Merrill Gardens is beautiful and well maintained. Everyone who works there is caring and communicative with the family.

Overall experience was excellent. The staff were friendly, caring and helpful. Their "bridge" program for people with cognitive issues is a gem.

Overall, my mother-in-law really enjoys living there. She likes the location, which allows her a sidewalk with activity just to people watch or sidewalks for walking. The staff is very pleasant and fun. They offer a wide range of activities. She likes the food, and typically picks it up to go. She has experienced some longer than stated wait times and sometimes does not get what she has ordered, so the dining experience could be improved a bit. Overall, she is very happy living there and we are happy with how she is treated. The facility is very clean as well.

What stood out the most is the friendly staff and it is very clean. My stepmother is in Hospice, so TV is her main activity. The kindness that is shown to her and the care are very nice.

5 for each, they were the best we could have hoped for! When we were there to tour, we actually had time in the lobby with another resident's daughter and she rightly raved about this new home we were considering. They are truly attentive to each individual in their care. They draw each person out of their selves and engage them in activities to their own level of comfort, they are able to engage even the quiet. They are respectful to the residents and use language that causes no shame or embarrassment for situations that arise. They engage their hearts, the residents are loved.

The people that work here seem to like their jobs ! Very friendly, happy, and caring. If you have a question they will find you the answer. Everyone LOVES the food ! Great tasting, nutritious meals. It is clean and well maintained.

We are very happy at Truewood. Everyone has been very nice and welcoming. Yes, I would definitely recommend the community to others

Loved them! Wonderful staff and facility. I would recommend Truewood by Merrill, Boise to other families looking.

My mother and father are very happy there and even though they kept their car, don't leave much at all. They find everything they need at Merrill Gardens. They also enjoy the company of friends and staff. Their apartment is comfortable and spacious

I feel secure here. I’ve met some great friends . I was nervous moving in that I wouldn’t know anyone but I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly the people are here. To top it off I absolutely love my apartment and my screened in porch for my kitties. I love living here

This facility offers all of the activities and benefits I was seeking and is staffed by a caring and empathetic group dedícated to seeing to the wellbeing of everyone here. The facility is well maintained and easy to navigate. It is also close to many conveniences such as groceries, post office,a variety of stores, restaurants, and good medical facilites.plus transportation is available free within a ten mile radious, shopping outings are planned regularly, and full day outings also. Over all a truly plesant place to live.

The staff and residents are so welcoming. Very positive experience from interacting with all the people there. My dad has a studio apt which overlooks the courtyard. Always activities happening and the food in the dining room is so yummy looking. Can’t think of a better place for my dad to live at. He’s 97 and needs help with certain things but can still remain pretty independent with his own apartment. Also, dogs and cats are welcome there which always makes people smile when they come in contact with a resident’s pet. Total win-win.

I would give them a 10 for everything. There are so many activities. There are various room sizes, and the staff is wonderful. I would absolutely recommend them, it is the best one in Santa Cruz.

I visited with my mom and was impressed all around. The staff was friendly. The residents were welcoming. The food was excellent and there were lots of options. Everything was modern and clean. The shared spaces were very nice. There seemed to be lots of activities. The price was reasonable for the amount of amenities included. My mom has since moved in and hasn’t been disappointed.

Mom has adjusted well and is very happy in her new environment. Staff is caring and keeps the family well informed which reinforces our decision to place mom in their facility. Mom is kept occupied with lots of activities and loves it. She has made lots of friends and is now very social and outgoing where before she was very introverted.

I would rate them five on everything. They've been absolute phenomenal with my sister who is permanent resident there now.

It is a great place, we are very happy with it. I think they are a 5 on everything. My mother is very happy there and very well cared for. It is a huge improvement over her previous facility. Most of the staff, an administrative. Personnel have been there long-term, which adds to greater stability for the care of the residents. The place also has just a wonderful feel to it, and it's very welcoming.
