Our Experience

My loved one was previously a resident at Truewood by Merrill Clovis and everything about the experience was great. However, ultimately she wanted to be near family and they finally pitched in to help her with that move. She moved to a facility closer to kids.

Our families experience at Truewood

Our family is extremely happy with our experience with A Place For Mom as well as with Merrill Gardens. Everyone with whom we've been in touch has been helpful, kind, responsive, and knowledgeable. I'd recommend A Place For Mom/Merrill Gardens to anyone looking for a seamless experience. The service helps you and your loved one to feel looked-after as you go through what is often an emotionally-charged process.

Her stay was as good as could be expected under the circumstances. I would highly recommend Truewood by Merrill West Covina for Assisted Living.

Merrill Gardens of Madison

Mom has been living at Merrill Gardens a little over a month. She is really enjoying all the activities offered and typically gets involved in at least one or two a day. Food choices and the quality of the meals is exceptional. Staff has gone above and beyond to provide a great experience for all their residents. Leaving home is a very difficult decision but Merrill Gardens has made the transition much easier.

All are a 5 except food. Quality of food has been going down and my mom and others are not happy. We also got hit with a a $700 increase the first of the year. The staff is great and my mom loves it there, other than the food. Mom is in a studio apartment and we have managed to fit a lot in. She is very comfortable

Mom is very happy with her decision to live at Merrill Gardens. She feels well taken care of and everyone, the residents and staff are welcoming and friendly. It is a nice size, large enough to have good activities but not so many people that a person can't get to know or at least recognize most of the other residents.

They continue to be very kind and helpful, remembering her name, daily paper, meal favorites, medicine administration and greeting her family.
