PositiveThe staff is wonderful admin, kitchen, reception. My dad needs a little help from time to time, and all of them are so helpful. Maintenance takes care of any matters in a timely manner. I don't really have any negative feedback. Not applicable responses are because dad doesn't participate in the activities and being in independent living, there's no care staff.

PositiveI am exploring Senior Living Options for my 94 year old mother who is currently in Independent living at another Senior Living in Fresno. I want to investigate what will be required if she should need to go to assisted Living arrangements. Truewood offers great dining experience for all 3 meals. Has 2 kitchen areas that can be used for cooking meals if a resident desires. Has a library, game area, movie room, plus worship area. Limited elevators. I only saw 1 but there may be more. Not all apartments have a balcon…
