Nice community for the golden years

I liked having a receptionist and sign in/out. Layout of the gardens from entry to dining area is very inviting, clean, food wasn't bad, liked being able to "run a tab" so we could eat w/mom. Didn't like the pharmacy used-take advantage of convenience of delivery etc and prices were crazy. Mom enjoy daily excercise class and staff was pleasant. I loved being able to ring the dog for visits too! Other residents enjoyed as well!!

Resident attentive.

I have had no negative interactions and observed no negligent actions to date. Everyone I have encountered has been courteous and committed to the residents. They contact me often with care needs and medical concerns of my father. I have no major complaints.

Feels like home.

It's a lot of money but I think it's probably average for what assisted living costs. Staff are very friendly and nice, good care. My mom enjoys the activities and meals. I feel good with her being there. She has the 1 bedroom with a little living room and it's just right for her.

Understaffed

They seem to be understaffed in memory care, necessitating that everyone pretty much receive the same medication on the same schedule regardless of individual circumstances. Same with activity. Activities are geared to the least cognitive resident so that they can be done across the board.

Friendly, warm

We liked The Gardens immediately, layout of asst living area dining area as well as rooms is perfect for mom. Don't like the one time activity fee and admin fee for long term care insurance but she loves being there, quickly made friends and enjoys sittercise.

The Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care review

They need to improve their admission policies and procedures. They said they would do X and then not do. They also had said she could live there before they reviewed all the documentation and denied her last minute. We had only a few days to find a new place to go due to termination notice we had already provided to the current facility. Beyond stressful for us, the family and my mom, and extremely disappointing.

Overall satisfied. with room for improvment in regards to communication and follow up

Overall not bad. But i am a little disappointed. With physical therapy we had to request 4 or 5 times to get it started. Only 2 weeks did they start and still no schedule of upcoming therapy as requested

Not happy with memory care

If your loved one has any behavior issues this is not the place for them. They are definitely way understaffed in my opinion. We explained my parents issues before they took them but they assured us they could handle those issues. 2 months later they told us they could not care for them after all and we had 30 days to find a new place. Most of the staff is really nice but some were unkind and kinda mean to the residents. I am sure the assisted living is nice but the memory care is only for those alzheimers patients that will follow rules....unfortunately my parent was not wanting to be a rule follower.

Nice tour

We were familiar with this community as my parents had been here before my father passed. Our tour was done very well and they took their time showing us around both the assisted living and the memory care for my mom. We felt that another community offered a better fit for the secured assisted living that way my mom would not have to go into the memory care just yet.

My visit

This was a very nice community when I visited. The people I met were nice. The community allows pets and seems to offer some nice activities. This community was a little more expensive than what we were looking for.

This is a wonderful place to live in deciding a place for your dear loved one. Not only do they care about the residents, they show it. It's beautifully decorated, clean, and it has such a homey feel. It's truly a home away from home. I highly recommend this facility for any family members that is looking.

Excellent Place!

The staff at The Gardens Assisted Living are great. The place is always clean and the meals they provide are very good. We like that her apartment has a full kitchen and separate bedroom. The place is very open and we are happy with our choice.

The Gardens gets my recommendation!!

My one minor complaint is that there is not a physician that comes to the community. The residents have to have their own physicians come in. The food is good and they offer some activities. The staff are very good, competent and seem on top of things. The community is clean and well taken care of.

Respite care at the Gardens

My parents were at the Gardens for respite care for only a week but I couldn't have had a better experience dealing with the Gardens. All the staff (Connie, Cara, Danielle, Jan) and others went above and beyond their expected duties. They made the experience so much easier than expected. The facility was super clean, the food was delicious too! I felt like I was in a restaurant with the quality and service.
