Truewood by Merrill, Taylorsville sits in a spot that's close to shopping, restaurants, and plenty of outdoor places right in Taylorsville, and the community offers several different living options, including assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and independent living for more active folks, plus home care for those who want to stay at home but still need help now and then. People who move in need to be at least 55, and the facility has studio apartments, some of which are pet-friendly, that come with private patios or balconies, plush carpets, kitchenettes, and their own heating and air conditioning controls, and each apartment has emergency call buttons and a 24-hour emergency response system for added safety, which a lot of people seem to feel good about as it helps everyone feel secure, especially with staff available around the clock. There's a big focus on comfort, so folks can enjoy on-site haircut and barber services, a beauty salon, and community dining areas with meals made from dietician-approved menus, and there's also convenient meal delivery if someone prefers to eat in their room. The staff offers housekeeping, laundry, and linen services, and scheduled transportation comes as part of the package-handy for doctor appointments, grocery runs, and activities around town.
Residents often gather in the large lounge for social and entertainment activities, with movies, games, church services, group exercise classes in the fitness center, and weekly health programs that try to keep everybody active and engaged, and people can check their email or read in the computer center or the library, which stays well-stocked with books and magazines. The community keeps safety in mind, following strict safety protocols and making sure everyone can get help when needed. Medication administration, in-house nursing evaluations, therapy and wellness services, physical and massage therapy, and even hospice care are part of what's offered for those who need extra support, and care plans are personalized for each resident by a team that works with families, doctors, and pharmacists to make sure everyone's needs are met. There are outdoor patios and gardens for fresh air, parking for residents and their guests, indoor common spaces for visiting, and a nice mix of fun, educational, social, and spiritual activities on the calendar. Residents can expect simple comforts, friendly staff, and options for privacy or social time, all in a secure environment that feels welcoming without being overwhelming.
