This place is just wonderful. Great food, entertainment, and can easily speak with staff.
We are very happy with Truewood by Merrill, Fig Garden. We really like the facility itself as well as the friendliness of the staff members. Based on the experience we have had so far we would absolutely recommend this community to other families.
I would tell others looking into Truewood by Merrill, Fig Garden that the staff members here are wonderful. I gave the food and the activities a lower score, But I believe that they are in the middle of working on improving both of those things.

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 The only thing that I can say is that the furniture is really outdated, and the carpets need to be cleaned. The place is clean, but it seems outdated.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.
