Truewood by Merrill, Taylorsville offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to select the level of day-to-day help they need. For those in Assisted Living, licensed nurses oversee medication management, oxygen use, and physician-ordered special diets, and the community is equipped to support residents with moderate dementia conditions. A registered nurse or LPN is on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock, ensuring timely clinical oversight. On-site medical services include visiting podiatry, audiology, dental providers, and a therapy room for rehabilitation exercises. The community also accepts residents with certain psychiatric conditions after assessment, helping families avoid outside appointments for many routine healthcare needs.
Daily care tasks can be provided at the full-assistance level for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and staff are trained to help with transfers whether a resident uses a walker, wheelchair, or only requires standby supervision. All employees undergo background checks, an awake night shift monitors safety, and additional asleep staff remain on standby. Emergency pull cords in apartments alert the 24-hour security team, while an activity director coordinates cognitively and physically engaging programs.
Apartment layouts vary, so not every accommodation has every feature, but many residences may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, individual climate controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided, while Independent Living residents can opt for housekeeping, laundry, and a predictable monthly meal plan as needed.
Meals are prepared by the culinary team and offered through a set menu with daily specials, or residents can order from an on-request menu. Snacks are stocked throughout the day, and meals can be delivered to apartments or enjoyed in a private dining room for family gatherings. The kitchen can accommodate gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, puree, and thickened-liquid diets, matching physician orders and personal preference.
Residents have access to on-site amenities such as a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, internet access, communal gardens, special-interest clubs, and scheduled religious services. Concierge services help with appointments and activity sign-ups, while resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and designated outdoor smoking spaces are available. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Transportation options include a community shuttle for medical appointments, Townecar service, and proximity to public transit for residents who prefer independent travel.
