Overview of Truewood by Merrill

Truewood by Merrill provides assisted living and memory care in Cottonwood Heights, UT. Assisted living offers help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private apartment, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision. The memory care setting may be a good fit for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia who needs that environment.

Housing options include studios, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom apartments, with the two-bedroom option able to suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. Pets are allowed, so residents may bring a pet when moving into the community. A Walk Score of 74 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.
