Truewood by Merrill, Clovis sits among trees and gardens, offering a range of living choices for people aged 55 and over, like independent living, assisted living, memory care-including Illuminations Memory Care-and skilled nursing under license #107209035. The community's been providing senior care since 1990 and allows pets, so some residents have animal companions for comfort. Apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom layouts, with options for single, semi-private, and wheelchair-accessible units, each having private baths and kitchenettes. Assisted living helps with daily activities, medication, or mobility like walking and wheelchair use, while specialized care supports those with diabetes, incontinence, or memory challenges, using custom care routines, cognitive programs, and a protected environment for people living with dementia or Alzheimer's.
There's a strong person-centered approach that keeps the environment warm and supports independence, letting people decide how much help they want with meals, cleaning, and personal care, making sure privacy stays important. Residents find both indoor and outdoor common areas, with spots for gardening, patios, and walking paths, and have access to a recreation room, a model kitchen, and a dining room serving nutritious, diet-approved meals, with room service, vegetarian options, and a dining program called Truewood Dining. Onsite amenities cover housekeeping, laundry for linens, dry cleaning, and grooming like barbers or beauty services, with 24/7 staff always around to help quickly if needed and personal aides for extra support.
Social and wellness activities draw many people together, from Tai Chi, chair yoga, Wii bowling, game nights, story time, and a cooking club to a gardening group and book club, and even a resident musical group. There are arts and crafts stations, TV rooms, and common rooms wired for cable and fast WiFi, so it's easy to relax or join in. Faith services happen onsite and offsite, and the community often holds events, with guests welcome at meals and sometimes for overnight stays. Transportation is free for shopping or appointments, and outings in the area are common. For those needing temporary help after a hospital visit or caregiver break, respite care is available. Skilled nursing and medication administration stay in-house, and the team helps with VA benefits or financial advice too. People can choose different floor plans to fit what feels most comfortable, and planning help's available for future needs. This family-owned place works hard to make everyone feel at home right away, with a small-town atmosphere and staff focused on confidence, comfort, and daily enrichment, treating each person as an individual with respect for their life choices.
