Based on personal visits to assisted living facilities, information was compiled and an extensive survey was prepared and mailed to more than five thousand Manatee County senior citizens to determine their needs and desires. The overwhelming response revealed a strong desire for elegant as well as comfortable surroundings in a residential setting. With these goals in mind, Summerfield became a reality.

Community Reviews
Above the rest!
reviewed on: 08/18/2016 by AnonymousThe community was very nice and clean. The staff are very nice and pleasant. My mom stayed here for respite care and they took good care of her. They offer medical transportation twice a week. Summerfield Retirement is a beautiful community!
Has A Great Nature Preserve
reviewed on: 09/14/2017 by AnonymousAfter touring this community we were really leaning towards this one but then my mom had a stroke and that changed things a little. This community is much larger than others we had looked at and I felt that it might be too much for her to get used to. It has a great nature preserve which I loved but I didn't think that mom would get the same appreciation that I did out of it. The staff was extremely friendly and nice and the community was very well cared for and very clean.
My experience with Truewood
reviewed on: 10/15/2021 by anonymousI chose Truewood by Merrill because they had an apartment that had 2 bathrooms in it and that made all the difference, especially if I had guests stay over. They have a great system, once a week they test the residents for covid, it is very safe here. A lot of the residents here seem to need more assistance. If you need more care, you don't have to immediately move and can get the extra care you need which I thought was attractive.
Needs Improvement!!
reviewed on: 08/23/2016 by AnonymousMy love one has not been receiving the one on one care i was hoping for her to receive. There has been some lack of communication from the staff towards the family. We had to hire an additional caregiver to help my love one out in the community. She has to stay on top of the staff and the housekeeping, so that they maintain everything in place. The staff wasn't putting an effort to help my loved one interact with activities. I am disappointed in the community at the moment i hope for some improvement.
Nice place and services sporadic(but they are fixing it)
reviewed on: 05/20/2015 by AnonymousFood is great. Place is clean. Only issue is one wing has aids on the weekend that are not responsive and doing their job. New management knows this and does seem to be making the right changes to fix it. I would recommend them. Both my parents are they and I feel good about that.
