Truewood by Merrill, Venice

My husband recently moved into Truewood, and so far I’m very pleased with the care he’s receiving.

Our mom moved into the Venice community a week ago today, and the level of care, staff attitude and resident contentedness is phenomenal.

We moved mom from a lesser facility in town, and the newer neighborhood concept and smaller groups of people have helped our 98 year old mom feel like part of the community quickly. She will need a few more weeks before we have a good rhythm, but all initial signs are extremely positive. From the leadership to every level of caretaker, the focus on caring and personal respect is palpable.

Thank goodness we found this facility, and while this is a very difficult decision, all the staff and the procedures at Truewood in Venice made it an easy choice.

Our Mom moved in at the beginning of October (2 & 1/2 weeks ago). She is adjusting really well and everyone at the community from the Executive Director, Sales person, Reception Desk, Nursing staff, Activities and Maintenance, and food & beverage staff have been just GREAT.
Everyone has gone out of their way to help my mom get adjusted and feel at home

Everyone of the staff is wonderful and always very helpful! Sunset Lake Village is a very family orientated facility. The staff takes great care of the residents and their families!

During such a difficult time of quarantine I have the greatest respect for the management and staff whose spirit and care shines through daily. Their dedication and commitment to keeping everyone safe, healthy and happy are amazing. The building, common area and residences are kept spotless and extremely clean. The only suggestion would be to have a daily variety of fresh fruits and vegetables for both enjoyment and nutrition.

My dad was their for 3 years. My sister and I got to know the staff and nurse very well. They really care, and love the people that live their. When the hurricane came through in 2017, they were so well prepared. We felt our dad was safer their, than where we were at. Dad also loved living their. My sister and I would take dad to her house for the holidays and afterwards he'd say, I want to go home now. That's how much he loved living their! Dad had to go into the hospital and when he came back home he was so happy! When he saw the nurse he lit up! Held out his arms for a hug! He did pass away. Everyone was so helpful to my sister and me afterwards. If your thinking of bringing your loved 1 here, you've found their home! Itll also be your 2nd home!

We have so appreciated the leadership team and their dedication to the residents. They have made my folks feel at home and well cared for. I would highly recommend this facility to others

The Lord blessed me with a job here at sunset Lake village and I am so grateful. Thank you Lord.
