The tour I had at Truewood by Merrill, Fig Garden was wonderful. They showed us three apartments, which was terrific. We were able to have lunch there, and the food was good. The residents that I was able to communicate with were all very positive and were happy to be there. I only looked at one-bedroom apartments and they were spacious and clean. You can furnish them to your taste. The staff was wonderful.

My mother has moved into Truewood by Merrill Fig Garden. She really likes it there. It is nice. It is a good fit for her. She likes the independence, and she likes that she can socialize with others in her age group. The activities are really good and helpful for her to get more involved. Everyone is super friendly. Everything is provided for her, like the transportation and the meals. The food is really, really good. She hasn't complained about any of the food. There is the independence of her having her own unit and the camaraderie of talking with others in her age group. There is the shuttle that gets her to Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, or wherever she needs to go. It is a really, really a good fit for her. My mother is in a studio. It's spacious, and it has a little kitchenette. It has a living room area and her bedroom area. Even though it's all open, it still feels big enough. It's not cramped, and it feels like separate rooms. There is just enough space for her. They have studios. My mother is in a larger studio. They have one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. The only thing that I can say is that the furniture is really outdated, and the carpets need to be cleaned. The place is clean, but it seems outdated. The staff is really, really nice. They give them a menu every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's like two-options that they can select from. For lunch and dinner, it's salad or soup, the main entree, and the dessert. The desserts they often have listed on the menu are normally not the desserts that they bring out. That is a room for improvement, but it's really, really good. We have been there and ate with Mom, too. There's no stove in any of the units. There is a small refrigerator, a sink, and a microwave that you need to bring in yourself. It's a little on the high side. Considering what they provide, they were the most affordable (even though their private pay is still on the higher end). My mom is in a studio. For what she is paying and what she is getting, it's a benefit to her. If she was to go into a one-bedroom, she probably couldn't afford it.

I toured Truewood by Merrill, Fig Garden. I had lunch there with Brian, their sales guy. It's a friendly crowd. The only problem there is they don't have any two-bedroom apartments available. They have not had a two-bedroom apartment available for two or three years, so they're kind of very well-established. That one isn't even a possibility. He was offering a one-bedroom next door to a small studio, and he said, "We could probably cut a door through that," and I was like, "No, no, no." Because we'd be paying for two apartments and we don't want to do that, and the food there was not very good. At any rate, I was glad that the vacancy issue settled it because he was so nice. That's often what sells the place is the person who you talked to. He seemed so pleasant. He was full of information. I know they have just recently changed hands and it's an older building, so they're in the process of doing some remodeling, but it wasn't done yet. So it was old looking. It just was not some place I thought, "Oh, wow, I really want to live there." They had nice grounds and an outdoor area.

The in-person tour at Fig Garden was very nice. We had one person who took us around to any area of the complex that we wanted to see, answered all our questions, and was attentive to us. Our first impression was that it is an aging complex. The dining area seemed very nice. But when we got into the other locations, you could tell that not all the rooms were up to date. Everything was clean. They were getting ready to do bingo at the time. There was evidence of other activities around that had happened, like painting classes. They had arts that the residents had done around the room. All of the facilities had very limited exercise rooms. So it was apparent to us that even in independent living, these were not for active people. It was definitely for people who were compromised on some level. The dining area was beautiful. Some upgrading of carpeting would be nice to freshen it up a bit. We didn't see any rooms of actual residents. We only saw empty rooms that were in the process of being refurbished for the next guest.

We toured Fig Garden and that was my favorite. We were looking for independent living at that time. I liked it a lot because it was very friendly, it' s homey, and the building itself just had a lot of character in it. The activities seemed well-attended and parking was available. Some of it is covered parking so you could still keep your car. The administration was very pleasant and very good about showing us all around. There was a call for bingo and people just flocked there. There was an area where people could go in and cook their favorite meal and dish, like cookies or whatever, and share it with everybody. There was a nice private spot for reading, like a little library. There was a nice outdoor walk and the residents just seemed very happy there. I was just not ready yet for that type of living but when I am, that is where I will go.

My father-in-law has been living in Fig Garden for three years now. It is a clean facility. They try to be very interactive with the adults. They do provide food service. It's a nice place to go if the individuals can be self-sufficient. It's a great place to go. They will bring meals to you, we provide someone to come in and help out at the place. It is a senior living facility. He's requiring more and more assistance and we're paying for people to come in and assist him and being this far away, it's kind of hard. They have a full calendar of activities, from painting, to dancing, to movie nights, to the rest. So he doesn't participate much in that, because he's getting older, and he's just not there. The food is good.
