Review for Sungarden Terrace Assisted Living and Memory Care

Staff is friendly warm helpful with residents, family and friends and among themselves. They treat one another and residents/family/friends that way. Responsive responsible follow through on requests, tasks and good answers on questions or find out for you. They smile and like working there. Food is good. My husband likes it. They communicate well with specialists and professionals with VA over the phone e.g. Good with 911 and follow up. Place is clean. Great entertainment daily for residents, great and fun with good food special celebrations as well next to holidays. Director is wonderful easy accessible and available.

People come first here!

5 across the board! They were the only facility to ask first about my father in law as a person instead of showing us the cost. When he died, they sent a note with multiple people's personal messages of condolences. My father in law loved the food, and the people . His girlfriend who had visited both facilities (Sungarden and [community name removed]) chose the move into Sungarden because she liked it so much. They really felt like family .

Review for Sungarden Terrace Assisted Living and Memory Care

The majority of the staff is very accommodating and pleasant. Anyway, I toured several independent living with assistance places and I did not put Sunshine on my list. However Last minute circumstances took me there and I was pleasantly surprised. First of all, it smelled very clean when we first walked in. That was big for me as many of them have an assisted living smell to them. Compared to others, their cost was very reasonable and straight forward- NOT the nonsense of vague ADLs or "points" which is "hard to break down" but they can be added to the monthly cost with or without approval. The director,[name removed] is very nice, easy to talk with, easy to get hold of.

Home away from Home

My husband and I had to find a new place for his father because he was requiring more care. We toured several places and knew we found the right place with Sungarden Terrace. This was the first place where they asked us about our loved one first, what he was like etc instead of the price. That told us that residents were important to this community. The food is incredible, and it’s hard to please my father in law! When I wanted to move my mom over, the director pointed out they couldn’t use the lift in their facility for her wheelchair and she would have to be in bed the whole time. She told me it looked like my mom was still enjoying her day being out with others and said she wouldn’t move her if it was her mom. SHE put my mom above getting herself another resident, another paying customer. Now that is truly a family feel! It’s clean, has fun activities and the people there are loving! What more could you want?

Grandma is happy

This place is well kept and has the friendliest staff! My husband’s grandma has lived here for over a decade and she’s well cared for and participates in the community. We enjoy the events and the food with her, it’s a peaceful environment, predictable and safe.

A Loving Community where my mother thrived for 12 years

I cannot express enough gratitude for the wonderful experience my mother had at Subgarden Terrace over her 12 years there. From the moment she arrived, she flourished in an environment that felt like home. The staff treated her like family, always going above and beyond to ensure she felt loved and supported. She made lasting friendships and created beautiful memories that truly enriched her life until the end. The community fostered an atmosphere of warmth and compassion, making it a place where residents could thrive. We are forever thankful for the exceptional care and support provided by the staff. They became an extension of our family, and we will always cherish the time my mother spent there. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a nurturing and vibrant environment for their loved ones.

Nice facility

We were enthralled by the welcoming atmosphere of Sungarden Terrace Assisted Living and Memory Care from the minute we entered. The building has been meticulously maintained and is constructed to make occupants feel at home. A true testimony to the'sungarden' in its name, it is a vast, sunny sanctuary that skillfully combines inside comfort with lush, outdoor splendor. Mom was going to be transferred from [removed] shortly, as we planned.

Would recommend

Mom is happy, smiling and engaged in activities with the staff and other residents. The staff asks questions about mom's likes and dislikes and they tailor her care with those things in mind. The staff also shows interest in the entire family. We are so happy with everything at this facility and more importantly, Mom is too. Very much so. It is cozy, warm and welcoming. She is always doing something fun when we visit her now at Sungarden. The Sungarden staff remembers our names and details about our family. They make us feel like they care about all of us, not just mom.

Tour experience

The staff there and the management were so friendly and helpful. I really wish that I could have gone with this facility. When I got my mom placed it was an emergency situation and another facility had called us back first. That is the only reason we did not go with them. I wish that mom would have gone here because I think her experience would have been much better.

Involved daughter

This facility is very clean and well-maintained. The elevator seems to break down fairly often, which strands many of the upstairs residents. Nearly everyone who works there is amazing, friendly, helpful. However, the previous administrator arranged for my mom to move into Memory Care and for my dad to move into a single room. She broke down all the costs, and because they had a special for Memory Care (trying to get filled back up after COVID), the cost of both ended up being $500 less than when they were sharing a room in the more independent section. She said the cost of both rooms would not go up for a year, and at that time, both would only go up the regular 10% for cost of living. She did not give this to us in writing or have us sign anything. Our mistake. As soon as that administrator left, the interim administrator notified us about an error in what we were paying and that both rooms' costs would increase in a couple of months! The increase would be $700/month! I tried to fight it, but since we didn't have anything in writing, we had no leg to stand on. The increase became effective yesterday. Both of my parents are happy with their level of care, although I don't know what's happened to many of my mom's clothing. With the exception of the night desk clerk, everyone is extremely friendly. The new administrator is friendly (she was the marketing director), but seems disingenuous. My dad raves about the food, but neither of them eat much. I've eaten there quite often and most of the food is very good. The activities are not varied, but they've had trouble with staff turnover. In Memory Care, the activities are more limited due to the residents' abilities. We are hoping this will improve as covid lessens. Since my parents are still paying less than they were paying up in Washington State, and they're both happy, I believe they're getting good Value for their money, even with the recent increase.

Great care!

This place has been great. My mom has dementia and has been difficult to deal with, but the wonderful people at Sungarden have been diligent in trying to make things better and have been very patient. Everyone is friendly. They keep families updated on events going on there. I wish my mom could enjoy those events because they sound awesome! Unfortunately she is too far gone to appreciate it. I highly recommend this place.

Happy with Sungarden

They have a really good staff in memory care. The food is excellent and they have a gourmet chef. Their events for families are amazing. Their outdoor space is excellent. It is an older building. They have the halls nicely lit and painted and are decorated beautifully. I have recommended Sungarden Terrace to other people. We are really happy at Sungarden Terrace.
