This is a great facility for senior citizens to live! The atmosphere is warm with loving staff that are always interacting and doing activities with the seniors. From all the times I have visited, the residents seem to enjoy living at the facility!

Having a great time! Good yummy food, great music, wonderful fellowship! Plus cotton candy, fried Oreos popcorn and more! The day has been great, even the weather has cooperated! My mom has thoroughly enjoyed everything! She has tapped along with the guitarist Gram Rea to every song he has played. He’s a great entertainer!

We needed to find a senior living facility for a family member. Timing was an issue for us since we live in another state. The management and other staff went above and beyond in their efforts to assure our family member would be able to move in quickly. They even helped us by donating a bed for her room so she would be comfortable on the first night, while we worked on relocating the rest of her belongings. She has settled in and is quite content. Great customer service!

My father really enjoys living at Truewood in OS. The people (both residents and staff) are friendly and caring. He was recently hospitalized and couldn’t wait to get back. Thanks Truewood for making my dad feel so welcomed.
