Overall a very nice and affordable community

The facility is always spotless the apartments are spacious. The meals are well balanced. My father had been in a different Alf that was way more expensive and Venice palms is a much better facility. My father doesn't participate in the activities so I can't speak to much about them but I The administration is very responsive and available anytime I have a question.

Excellent staff - from welcome to new home.

Overall, the staff, especially the weekday care staff are fantastic! They provide very personal and tender care. Things don’t seem to go very well on the weekends, however, and the follow up on certain issues has not always been to our liking. [name removed] and [name removed] were especially helpful in the transition from my mom having to move out of her home into Venice Palms.

Based on the experience we have had, they could improve on the overall communication. However, the staff was great. The administration was fair to poor, but we would recommend this community to other families.

Lacking in medical care.

What they could improve on would be cleaning the apartments more often. The common areas are fine. It would be nice to have a nurse on duty more than just Wednesday. But for the price it is fine. My sister signed mom up for Venice Palms before we had a chance to look around. If I had it to do over, I would not put her in there. She is going to need more care than they offer before long and it will be hard to move her. We found out recently that she has blood clots in her lungs. We have since brought in Hospice to increase her care.

Venice Palms - Caring for our mom

The staff at Venice Palms Memory Care are so kind and loving with my mom. I know she is in good hands with [name removed], Memory Care Coordinator, and all the staff. We could not ask for better care for our mom.

Wonderful experience!

Toured many senior living facilities and liked this one from the start. Set up tours for three places with my MIL and she didn’t want to see the other two! Recently updated, very welcoming and cozy, not sterile like some of the others. Staff have always been very friendly. I cannot judge the actual care or food as my MIL had a sudden decline and unfortunately passed away before moving in. She was so looking forward to living there. My husband and I will keep it on our list for us down the road!

Our families experience

Meals and dining are good except the dining room. People are forced to sit in an assigned seat at each meal. The people dine with the same people every meal and have limited availability during dining to socialize with the others not at their table in the dining room. We spoke to the staff on several occasions and have been told they are working on addressing the issue.

Wouldn't recommend.

The nurse staff was terrible. Forced parents to go through rehab when hospital and doctors said it wasn't necessary. Venice palms would not allow them back to there apartment unless they did rehab for a week costing them money plus still paying rent while they were locked out. A disgrace. I wouldn't recommend

Your family member will be in GOOD hands

This is not a place where residents are placed into a room hence forgotten about. They keep a trained eye upon each resident. This offers peace of mind.

We were in the beginning of transition to new company

There were some initial rough spots when [name removed] first went, some I expect are normal to everyone adjusting to a new living arrangement and some because of the transition to new owners and staff changes.

Overall satisfied

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The price is reasonable and very clean. My mom is very well adjusted there! As far as the food goes, they could have more variety in vegetables. For activities - try to get some good entertainment that the residents would enjoy and can participate in. I would like to see the families of the residents to have a monthly meeting on our concerns and suggestions.

Very disappointing experience

I have a family member in Memory Care and the care is abysmal. No assistance with personal care for residents in a memory care facility... I have to shower my father myself and make daily visits to clean his room and at times even the floors and bathroom myself! Clothing, linen and towels have disappeared from my father's room, even though they're clearly marked with his name. Some caregivers are not even proficient in English, using phones to translate when communicating. How is this appropriate in a Memory Care facility? Very disappointing experience for our family. I'm grateful that we live close to the facility and are able to supervise my father's care.

Knowledgeable and Friendly Staff

The staff was great. Everyone is eager to help, and they are very knowledgeable. They have made some great updates to the facility. My mom had a one bedroom, so the room size was excellent for her needs. She had everything she needed.

Review for Truewood by Merrill, Venice

The single deciding factor was the amount of natural light in the unit. The others were too dark. That is, the units in the other communities did not have as many windows or were positioned as to not let in a lot of sunlight. Friends have asked and I told them it changed my perception of these facilities. A lovely option for seniors who were living alone and without help in cleaning, cooking, meds, etc.

Nice facility. A little old but still secure. Friendly staff - they will go the extra step if needed. [name removed] the director and [name removed] RN very helpful, knowledgeable, and do play by the rules. They offer activities that residents participate in. My Father likes the meals, and the staff likes him.

Tour experience

I had a virtual tour with Truewood by Merrill Venice. It seemed like a great place, but the main reasons I did not choose this facility was because they only had one floor plan for the apartments in independent living. It was smaller than I wanted.
