I visited Truewood by Merrill, Bradenton. As soon as you pull up, it has a big circle drive. It looks like an old southern mansion with pillars in the front. The color was nice when it was painted. It was very cheerful inside and out, and had a lot of color inside. It didn't have just cream walls like some of the other places. It had different colors. It was very big. Their staff told me it used to be an old hotel, so the hallways and everything were very large, with high ceilings. It was just very elegant. The rooms were quite nice. I did not see a room that had a separate bedroom, but in the ones they had, even though they had the bed in there and the dresser, there was still plenty of room for a love seat, a couple of chairs, and a big screen TV on a stand. They had big closets and nice bathrooms. They had a little kitchen area and some of them with a refrigerator and a microwave. What I loved is that you can bring your own furniture, bedding, towels, and things. It makes you feel like you haven't lost everything because you've got some of your own personal things. The staff was very nice. She took me inside and out, and where the rooms come out in rows. Outside, it's covered with a screen like a lanai, or a pool cage would be. She said when the weather gets a little cooler, they put tables and umbrellas out there so everybody can go out and sit. They had a lot of activities, a bus, and a beauty shop and barbershop combination. They had a library, a big dining room, and a theater room where at nighttime, the people can go in there and they fix popcorn and watch movies. It has poker tables set up, pool tables, and corn roll or something where they throw the bean bag through a hole, and they play that game. They had a lot of activities for the people. I was quite impressed with them. The place was very well kept.

My mother was a resident of Truewood by Merrill, Bradenton. It looked good at first. When we got there, we found out that the help was totally incapable of performing the jobs because they weren't trained. You would call up, and you'd get a voicemail. Nobody would ever return your call. The medical care was terrible. They didn't have her medicines that she needed. They wouldn't bring it to her on time, or sometimes they ran out. They didn't know what to do sometimes; they would just ask her what she wanted. It was just terrible. They had a library and physical fitness room. They had a bistro. They had things for people to do. They would have little get togethers on the property. She probably had the biggest room. The room was fine. The bathroom was very small. In June there was heavy rain one day. There was one door that was close to her room, where the water just flowed downhill. They had sandbags by the door to keep the water out, and it didn't do any good. It came into the hallway anyhow.

I toured Truewood by Merrill, Bradenton. The woman was very energetic and had a lot of energy. They were updating the place. They were doing all this work. It was clean. The apartments were very nice, but they needed to be updated. The rooms were spacious enough for one bedroom. It's an older building and you can tell the wood is old. They're very friendly people. They had enough areas for the patients to sit and socialize; there were different places. They have a lot of flowers and bushes and sidewalks around the buildings where they could walk. They had a library, a beauty salon, and arts and crafts.

My ex-husband moved into Truewood by Merrill, Bradenton a week ago. It was one of the least expensive.The room was spacious enough. I found the administrative staff especially helpful in making the arrangements, getting the papers done, all of the nitty gritty stuff. He says that every day he is visited by somebody. He's been enjoying some of the activities, and he said that he's doing OK. One of the things that they told me is that they assign someone the first month that he is in that place. That person will check on him every day. He's a little demented, but he told me that he has company every day. Somebody comes in to sit and chat with him, and he likes that. I think that's a very nice service. It is a very nice thing that they are able to go in and talk to them and make them feel welcome. I find the staff very helpful and very friendly. I'm really pleased. They do the housekeeping, and I find them very good. He had been enjoying some of the activities in the afternoon that they have. He seems to be participating. They had a Mardi Gras day with hats, masks, and all that. He had signed up with that. He did bingo. He's been to their cocktail hour.

My mother is in Truewood by Merrill, Bradenton. It's small and it's caring and my mother gets great care there. The rooms are average size and they're kept very clean. When I go and have dinner and lunch with my mom, I always take a bite and it's good. She likes it. She's been eating more than she was eating before. She's in memory care. They have songs, they build puzzles, and they have a bus that takes them out for ice cream once a week.

We loved it but they don't offer Medicaid. I like their assisted living side but their memory care side isn't as nice as the memory care at the community we ended up choosing. But we really liked the place, it was very nice and the staff was also really nice. We actually took our dad with us, and even though he didn't know what it was for he said that it's nice. The staff who assisted us was really good. She handled it well with my dad walking through with us, and she has also called us back. She did a great job.
