TRUEWOOD BY MERRILL, GEORGETOWN

The caregivers in the memory care were so wonderful to my mom during the last months of her life. They were compassionate and caring. Recommending them for anyone’s family member

Although my 95 year old father had been independent, I recently found that he needed to be in a safer place with assistance. I moved him from Illinois, where he lived for 95 years, to Texas to be closer to me and so I could monitor his health and well being. Obviously the whole move was quite the upheaval for him. He was very resistant to move into assisted care, but Caitlin in her kind, caring, and professional manner came to our home and assured him that he would be well taken care of with a huge dose of fun along the way. I had researched Truewood earlier and I felt this would be a good match for him and with Caitlin’s help we were able to smoothly transition him into Truewood. Once he arrived there Evelyn, the LVN on staff, went out of her way to welcome and assure him that he would be well taken care of. It was a hard decision to move my my dad from Illinois, to Texas, and then to assisted living, but I know he is in a safe place and well taken care of. When I go visit him, he is always on his way to one activity or another. I expected a difficult transition, but they keep him so busy I doubt he even thinks much about being bored or sad. Thank you to the administration and caregivers for giving my dad a safe and happy setting to age in place. I will forever be grateful.

My mom recently had some health issues & had to be moved from living independently in SETX, to memory care here in Georgetown. I visited almost all memory facilities within a 10 mile radius…& all had their strengths & weaknesses, but I felt that Truwood (formerly Legacy) would be the best fit for my mom. I don’t think I could have made a better choice - she LOVES it there! Her room is beautiful & spacious, the food is delicious & the staff is caring & kind! They have all sorts of fun daily programs & activities for the residents & try to integrate the memory residents in with the others as much as possible…which is nice. I hear a lot of laughter in the community…which is very telling to me! Both the staff and the residents seem very happy, and I didn’t always find that with the other communities. I also appreciate the frequent communication & updates about my mom. I feel like my mom is getting the best of care, and she is as happy as a clam! Who could ask for anything more?
