Overall, we are pretty happy here. Most of the time, things are good, and we are quite comfortable where we are. Most of the staff are great and very friendly. The food can sometimes leave a little to be desired, but our biggest concern has been the maintenance. There are things that need to be taken care of, but they are not always addressed in a timely manner. My husband is very independent, so there have been several things we’ve wanted done that he has eventually just taken care of himself. I know the price was recently increased, and quite a few people have moved out because of it. I’m not sure if other places are any more affordable, though. Despite these concerns, we are still pretty happy here and feel comfortable with where we are.

Overall would recommend

The staff seem caring and helpful. Her apartment is the perfect size for her. It's a studio so it has enough space to have a dining table and chairs. There's also enough room for a television and a couple of easy chairs. Her room is clean once a week and they do a very good job. They also change and wash her bedding at the same time.

Top notch

The staff care is excellent. The med techs are very good at delivering medications. The activities are varied and creative. Our apartment is large and bright. It is cleaned once a week. The chef routinely asks for feedback from the residents about food, which is good.

Remember you are family's advocate

Their refund of funds for remaining days left in the month is very poor ( only used 4 days of the month and truewood kept 20% of monthly fee, charging residents for renters insurance is wrong. We would only recommend this community to others if the family is very hands on and vocal for their family members. Garden House has very loving invested care givers. They are about their guests. Management doesn't have the same attitude.

Review for Truewood by Merrill, Boise

I rate it a zero. Memory care unit does not have enough caregivers. My husband is in a Brightstar Care Home group home now and is receiving wonderful care. He had many falls at Truewood. I saw many issues there with the patients. Also most of the people are not friendly. Food was terrible. I definitely do not recommend.

Review for Truewood by Merrill, Boise

The staff were fabulous. The food is not great, but I highly recommend. My brother really did not participate in the group activities, so I don't have any feedback on that. His room was nice...studio but with a separate sleeping area. Kitchen was a bit small for his needs...decided to add a table for his back prep. Again... cannot say enough about the staff - they are fabulous.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Idaho’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Idaho’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
