Overview of Truewood by Merrill, Clovis

Truewood by Merrill, Clovis is a senior living community in Clovis, California, offering assisted living, independent living, and memory care under one roof. That full range means a resident can move in for one level of support and shift to another as needs change, without leaving a familiar setting. The community sits on West Alluvial Avenue, roughly a couple of miles from the center of Clovis, and has been in operation for 41 years, one of the longer track records in the area.

The two-story community offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, each wheelchair accessible with a private bath and kitchenette. A care team is on hand around the clock, and daily support covers medication management along with specialized services such as diabetic care and incontinence care. Meals are prepared to accommodate prescribed diets, which matters for residents managing specific health conditions.

Everyday life is rounded out by grooming services, on-site housekeeping and laundry, and transportation, so residents have help with the practical parts of the week. The community also runs fitness and recreation programming aimed at keeping residents active and engaged, and it welcomes pets. Eric Schuk serves as Executive Director. With a Walk Score of 60, the surrounding neighborhood is moderately walkable, so some errands can be handled on foot while others call for a short drive. Families weighing the three levels of care here may want to ask how the community handles a move between them.
