Wonderful Staff and Facility
The staff has been pretty consistent. Many of the staff have worked there a long time. They do not need to contract with agencies to staff shifts, which is great. The staff are all very friendly and responsive to my mother-in-law and our family. Overall, we are very happy with our choice! I also want to thank A Place for Mom with all of your help in our search. You really were so helpful!

Perfect for a slower pace person.
We saw other places with lots of activities and events and things going on. It was a little too much at those places for our mom. Truewood is perfect. Enough to do, but not overwhelming. Our Mom has become friends with many other residents too.

Great value and caring staff!
After a lot of research and consideration, my sisters and I selected Truewood by Merrill in Glen Riddle for an assisted living facility for our Mom. I has turned out to be a fantastic choice! Mom is very happy with her comfortable apartment, the caring and attentive staff, and the friendly social life that this community has to over. I would give it five stars if they manage to hire more staff for the dining room; it’s the one complaint Mom consistently has that they are very short staffed at meals. Overall, though, this has proven to be a wonderful choice!

Not recommended
My loved one is currently a resident at Truewood by Merrill Glen Riddle. This is one of the cheapest options close to the city and the quality is bare minimum. If I had more money, I wouldn't have my loved one here. I would not recommend Truewood by Merrill Glen Riddle to others, based on our experience.

Truewood Glen Riddle Review
Truewood did not work out. My mother fell out of her wheelchair chair and broke her hip. While she was in the hospital, Truewood would not take her back. They seemed very nice, but I don't think they were watching her well enough and that's why she fell. She also fell out of bed a few times.

Smooth Transition
While prior to choosing True wood , I researched a few other places including Truewood . My husband said why are you looking at all these places , I said because I want the best place possible for my mom … I visited a few places twice. / three times .. including truewood . I will tell you that I Truewood is so special , I still can not believe how every single person in that building is kind , helpful and truly amazing . From the start Fran and Lisa have been nothing but spectacular .. Above and beyond is an understatement.. my mom is comfortable there , always talks about how everyone being so nice there !! …I honestly am so happy that I choose Truewood ,. I honestly could not have gotten through the transition without[Names Removed] . I would recommend Truewood. To everyone… I am blessed that my mom is there with such. Caring staff…

My experience at finding a good place for my loved one
I was very impressed with the size and cleanliness of the apartment they were very decorated very nice and made my son feel comfortable and safe there. The ground s are very nice too and will be used a lot more when the weather gets warmer. It was a good experience for my son as got therapy and has helped him become stronger, which he really needed and enjoyed. I would recommend Truwood as a good place when you are looking for a place for your loved one.

Disappointed...
We moved her out because she wasn't getting the care she needed there was a time they didn't shower her for over a month...they just put her in her room after meals... and forgot to take her to dinner one time... so many things we moved her.. it looked nice when you went in but ??? If you could walk it was a decent place but if you needed assistance it wasn't good.

Forever Grateful for the personal and loving care provided to my mom
The staff was amazing. Sometimes they sent me photos of her or helped her with her iPhone so she could FaceTime and see me and talk to me. When she went on hospice they were all advising me on what I needed to do and what extras to request for my moms comfort. This was my first time having to go thru this and they were all a big help. The GM was excellent and always made sure my concerns were addressed immediately but having to pay that much money, I expect the room the be cleaned right the first time. As for the food, my mom did not like it. While she was there there had been issues with cooks being out sick or on leave etc. hopefully they have found someone who is committed and good.

Glen Riddle was along the lines or Rose Tree Place. I didn't find it as bright, an overwhelming, or an active community and pleasant staff for my loved one. Truewood Glenn riddle was also a good place but I did not like the feel and darkness of the memory care unit.

What really stood out to us were the staff members we met with an interviewed with - they were extremely friendly and are still extremely friendly. Also the price is really good. Our loved one seems to enjoy the meals and dining service and says there is always something for him to eat. He does not participate in all the activities but what he does participate in he enjoys.

Tips for evaluating your community options

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:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Pennsylvania regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Pennsylvania regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Truewood by Merrill, Glen Riddle 8.8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
