Room for improvement.

The staff overall does a good job but sometimes they seem a bit short handed. There are just areas that could be improved on.

Always short staff. Dad has gone 2 weeks with out a bath. Room goes two weeks with no cleaning. They have Dad in Pajamas when I ask them to get him dress to go out to eat. Happen several times. Washer broke twice in a year and we go for several weeks short on clean cloths. Think with the money they bring in that they would have more then one washer. Dyer broke last year and they didn't fix it right away. Some one end up using it and it caught on fire. The fire department came out. Dad has several times sitting in a wet diaper when I have came by. They weren't giving him water to drink. Until I raised coin. Now he has water, but sometimes no straw. There are 3 great nurses and the rest are so so and always short help.

Review for Gardens of Gainesville

Confirm all the details prior to move in day with the office staff. There did not seem to be a lot of communication between sales and the front office. Once you are in and established, things are good.

Stay Involved in loved ones care

Families really need to stay on top of their loved ones care. If a loved one needs a good amount of care and has cognitive issues but not severe enough for memory care then you probably want to find another facility.

Just what we needed!

We visited two others, one larger, and one smaller! This one just seemed right for him. Also it is located 5 minutes from our son, so it is convenient! One thing I can say is we are happy we chose the Gardens and he seems content. We feel blessed that the caregivers and staff are respectful to him, caring and compassionate and he is being provided safety and his needs are being met!

Perfect Place

I recently moved into the Gardens of Gainesville after seeing 5 others. I never have meet so many welcoming neighbors in one place. The staff is wonderful also. I quickly settle into my new home. It has been a wonderful experience for sure.

Review for Gardens of Gainesville

The apt was completely redone and a balcony with a great courtyard view. This was a first time experience for us for 3 months while my wife was recovering from surgery so I don't feel I'm experienced enough to offer that judgement. They fell short when it came to activities, transportation and off-site outings.

Ok

My mother moved to Gardens of Gainesville a few months back. She has adjusted quite nicely and participates as much as possible. Overall, her transition has been quite positive. There have been a couple instances of concern on my end. Although the staff is friendly, communication is often difficult as answers seem to be vague, uncertain, or unanswered. I am not convinced trash is taken out on a regular basis as 2-3 days will go by and when I return, the same trash bag is still in the bathroom trash can and with incontinence issues makes the room a bit less aromatic. Unfortunately, on two occasions some money appeared to go missing from her wallet. When I reluctantly approached staff about this concern, there was no follow through about my report. Mom is happy and she is close to my home which is a huge plus and has to be the bottom line.

Professionalism And True Caring

When a family member becomes I'll, it really can put a lot of stress and worry on the family..But I found with the staff of this hospital I always stayed at ease....they spoke calmly. Kindly, in the most dullcet tones that were calming...and they always spoke on a level that I could understand...no confusing "med" speak. It's a great hospital and even greater staff.

Caring staff.

The staff is very caring. Mom loves the field trip activities and the friends she has made at Gardens of Gainesville. Based on the experience we have had so far, I would recommend this community to other families.

A new home

At first I was turned off by the idea of settling into a retirement community but now my wife and I have adapted very well to it. The staff is most helpful but mostly the other residents have helped make it very good home for us.

Be aware and very diligent!

If I could give 0 for care I would. Went every week and she would be covered in new bruises and scrapes. She had black eyes and the last straw was when I found her on the floor in her room dressed only in a shirt lying in a pool of urine. No depends or slacks in sight and she must have trying to get to the bathroom. As I was coming down the hall I could hear her crying for help. Two aids were sitting less than 30 feet away! Just keep a close eye on everything. Going once a week was not enough but it was almost 2 hours one way. No excuse though, how I wish I would have went more. They informed me since I didn't give 30 days notice I would be charged another month $5,000. I showed them all the pictures of her injuries and they backed down right quick! I should have contacted an attorney but hated to drag it all out.

Safe place for a loved one.

It was between a couple of places judged to be pretty equal. Gardens had an opening and the parents had backed themselves into a corner. Not the staffs fault but they are running the place with the least amount of people they can. We feel lucky that poppa is there. Momma passed away in July and the way they handed it was fantastic.

Review for Gardens of Gainesville

It has progressive care. Independent living, assisted living, memory care. Also, cost was reasonable. I would say the staff and residents are friendly and welcoming. It's not perfect, of course. No place is. But I'm happy with my apartment, the food, amenities, and location to medical and other needs. Coming here was a good decision.

Gardens of Gainesville

Garden's of Gainesville is overall above average and very homey atmosphere. No visiting hours to limit your accessibility to the facility and family members can even stay overnight with their parent which is unusual in my experience with assisted living facilities. The food is about average and good occasionally but better than the other facilities that we've experienced so far. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant. The amenities are nice in the independent living side and can be used by assisted living residents if they are accompanied by an employee or a family member.

My loved one was severely malnourished and dehydrated when he fell. It is very very difficult to get anyone on the phone in the evening or on weekends. They can improve in the memory care area. They let my loved one not eat for 3 weeks before telling us. My loved one ended up falling and breaking a hip and passed away 2 months later. My other loved one is still there. They have improved with some of the activities and things but it is too late for one of my loved one. I would not recommend them unless you stay on top of everything that goes on.
