Truewood By Merrill Charlotte Center complaints led to an investigation at this assisted living facility during 2023. This ALF is a for-profit 114 bed facility located at 18400 Cochran Boulevard, Port Charlotte, Florida 33948. Inspectors arrived at the facility on an unannounced basis and conducted an investigation.

The investigation culminated with the finding that the ALF failed to comply with Florida law in several specific areas. The State of Florida issued and cited the facility with a total of five deficiencies. Those deficiencies were related to medication assistance, medication labeling and storage, staffing standards, staff training and the background screening of employees.
