Riverchase Senior Living

My 82 year old mother who had been living an independent lifestyle needed to be in an assisted living facility. It was best that my wife and I move mom from Katy, TX to a facility closer to our home in Birmingham. This whole move came about very quickly so while looking for a facility I was very happy to find Truewood by Merrill Riverchase. Alena the Marketing Director was my initial contact and understood the urgency of placing my mom in their care and was extremely helpful getting everything set up for my mother. She always answered my texts and returned my calls, even while on vacation. I scheduled a tour of the property with Alena and when my wife and I arrived, the General Manager, Eric met us in the lobby and took us on a tour of the property, showing us the various activity areas, the courtyards and dining hall. It was lunchtime and while going through the dining area, I was very pleased to hear all of the talking and laughter, not to mention, the food smelled delicious! Eric took us into a unit that was available, but the unit was not what my mom wanted, so he and his team jumped through hoops to find a suitable unit. They were even willing to clear out the model unit if needed. In the end, a room nearing completion after a renovation could be made ready early and Lawrence, the property maintenance manager promised it would be ready for move in by the time we were planning to arrive from our long drive in from Texas. We arrived late and were greeted by four wonderful staff members; Deena, Gloria, Meisha and Debra who helped my mother from the car to her wheelchair and then on up to her new apartment, which was completely finished as promised. My experience, from initial contact and subsequent conversations with Alena about the property, terms, units, pricing, medical question, etc, along with the property tour with Eric and the review and signing of agreements was very quick, professional and organized. My mother is very happy with the look and feel o

The memory care at Truewood as given amazing care to my mom. The staff has gone above and beyond and has been such support for our family as well. I would highly recommend their memory care to anyone looking for a loving place for their family.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Truewood by Merrill Riverchase! From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed by the beautiful surroundings, the welcoming atmosphere, and the warm, friendly staff. The community is truly top-notch, offering spacious apartments with modern finishes and an abundance of amenities. The grounds are well-kept, with lovely outdoor spaces to enjoy, and the dining experience is excellent, with delicious and varied meals that cater to all tastes. What really stands out is the level of care and attention the staff provides. They’re kind, professional, and genuinely dedicated to the residents' well-being. There are plenty of activities and events to keep everyone engaged, and the sense of community here is so strong. It's easy to make friends, whether through group exercises, art classes, or social events like movie nights. Overall, Truewood by Merrill Riverchase provides a perfect balance of independence and support, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a peaceful, enriching, and well-cared-for living environment. It truly feels like home!
