Truewood by Merrill, Fig Garden

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.

We felt comfortable at the Fig Garden. The people were down-to-earth more type of people. It wasn't posh or anything like that. We got to meet a lot of people and had a meal with them. It was just a nice introduction to the place. The food was very nutritious and very well-balanced. It was made for the seniors. The chef came out, spoke with us, and asked us how everything was. So in a lot of ways, it was just very accommodating. My husband found out that there is a veteran's law, which is nice because he's retired military. He met some of the veterans, and it seemed like it was a good fit for him. And it was a good fit for me because one of the ladies came out of her room, and she said, "Oh, I hope you move in.". So it was just kind of nice that people came up, and they were very accommodating. We saw a one-bedroom, and there were two different layouts. The larger one was a little bit too big, but the other one was just right. There was an activity room, a library, a pool table, a sitting area, a movie room, and all kinds of things. It was nice.

We went to Fig Garden yesterday for my friend. It was pretty nice, and we liked it. It was nice and clean, the people were all friendly in there, and they had quite a few different activities and stuff that they offered the clientele. The staff members were all nice and very helpful. The facility was very pretty.

I am in the process of moving in to Fig Garden. They have more to offer as far as the activities. They have a gym, arts and Bingo. I don't know really what all they have besides that, but that's what I can tell so far. They go to church sometimes. There's just more to do. They're very nice and very helpful. The food is delicious. I like just everything about it. I have a large 1-bedroom, and it's bigger than the 1-bedroom at the other two places I took a virtual tour of.

Everybody at Fig Garden has been really helpful and very nice. The apartment is very nice. They have COVID precautions in effect since my mother moved in. No one's dining and no one's allowed out of their apartments. They have activities, transportation, laundry facilities, housekeeping once a week for linens, and they do laundry service for a fee. They have a lot. They also have life alert for every resident. They keep the facility in pretty good shape. They have on-site facilities to do maintenance for the apartments and the grounds. They have nice landscaping. They've been doing room service for everybody since the COVID-19 protocols have taken effect. She gets a couple meal choices for their breakfast, lunch and dinner, and they do snacks twice a day. She has a choice of three different snacks, and she says she likes it. They had a really good schedule of activities before everything was shut down. It's just nobody has been able to participate in several months.

I liked Fig Garden. It was very nice. Everybody that we interacted with was very pleasant and helpful. The place looked good and clean. The rooms were spacious. We saw a two-bedroom and a studio that were both accommodating and nice.

Fig Garden was very lovely, and the rooms were very nice but much smaller. Everyone was very polite. I would recommend them. When I was there, I noticed people playing bridge, and there was a pool table. The food was very good.

My grandma is here and has been for about a month. Right away she was given a mentor that showed her the ropes, schedules, and activities that she can go to. The mentor introduced her to other residents, so gave my grandma an immediate welcoming feeling. The entire place is immaculate and the staff is first rate. I felt like she had moved into a 4 star resort. It was an upsetting move, as she left her home of 42 years, but after accidentally leaving her stove on and not able to see well enough to turn it off herself, she decided it was time. I honestly couldnt be happier with her decision.

My impression of Fig Garden is very favorable. In fact, this is where my mom is currently living. Her only complaint is the food; she would like a little more diversity. Other than that, we’ve been very pleased. She’s in a one-bedroom apartment that's perfect for her. It’s definitely handicapped accessible, so she’s able to exit and enter the shower so much easier. Their handrails are just perfect for her, and there’s enough room in the bedroom and living room that she has room for both of her walkers: the one that she goes out with and the one that she uses in the home. The staff has been friendly and welcoming. The transition to living from home into there has been very easy because the people there are so friendly.

We chose Fig Garden for mom because it gave me a very pleasant feeling. We will be moving her in there. It has a very positive environment and everything was extremely clean. I felt this place would be the most appropriate for my mother's personality. I saw that the people were playing games and being very active and sociable. Everybody looked involved and very alive, which were real factors of why we chose the place for her.

Fig Garden was really nice. I was seriously thinking of going there, but they didn’t have kitchen facilities, and I like to cook once in a while. The food was very good.

I visited Fig Garden. They were excellent. It was a beautiful facility. I would recommend it but for more of a retirement community. Overall, it was nice.

My room at Fig Garden is fine. The food is OK, and the staff is all right. They have dominoes, bingo, and cards.

I am in the Fig Garden now, and it is really good. The staff is very helpful. The food is pretty good. They've got a chef here and everything. It helps me to keep my diabetes under control, and I get three squares a day and all of that cooked. That is probably the biggest advantage for me. I am pretty happy with it.

I went to the Fig Garden and I had a very nice visit there. I was very impressed with this facility. Actually I just like the whole feeling of this place. The sales person who gave me a tour was very pleasant. We had a nice long talk about it. The tour was really wonderful. I have callbacks and I get little notes from them, so I won't forget about them. The staff accommodates me very nicely. I like the fact that there are different sizes of apartments because I'm probably going to want one of the bigger ones. The only thing I would change if I have a choice in the matter is that the kitchen be a little bit more complete.
