facility.

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. \nAs 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. \nSince I moved to Truewood, I do not have stomach or BP problems as I did before. \n[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. \nHere 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.","reviewerDisplayName":"Barb R","experienceTypeId":3,"experienceTypeName":"I live or lived in this community"},{"reviewTitle":"Caring staff ","reviewContent":"The friendliness of the staff and the value for cost gets a 5+.

The actual buildings are a little dated but otherwise it is a fantastic community. The community is really what makes Truewood. There are lots and lots of different activities going on. They also have transportation that drives within a 10 mile radius so that suits her needs perfectly. The companion care package they have where they will bring three meals a day to her if she doesn't like going to the cafeteria has been really nice. She lives in an apartment which is separate from the facility but she still has someone checking on her daily. She's quite busy these days!","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"}],"parentOrgReview":{"name":"Merrill Gardens","slug":"merrill-gardens-61","averageReviewScoreDisplay":8.8,"communityCount":65,"reviewCount":2439}},"communityName":"Truewood by Merrill, New Bern","leadgenCompleted":false}
