Review for The Gardens of Riverside

The staff of The Gardens of Riverside are friendly & caring. I wish there were a higher ratio of caregivers to residents. The caregivers are unable to promptly attend to every residents' needs. Often I had to wait for a caregiver to return from a lunch break in order to help my mother to the bathroom. The other 1 or 2 caregivers there, had to stay watching the main floor area. The caring staff does their best.

Review for The Gardens of Riverside

I know there is probably no way to make the cleanliness and meal issues any better without charging twice the price, so I feel a little guilty about those numbers. Bottom line, the Gardens took good care of my stepdad in a very bad situation. We had to move him and mom to different facilities (they both lied to us about the situation for so long that we then had to make an emergency move and there was no room in the memory care facility at her place), and the staff was very kind to my mom when she visited him, even though we all knew that her presence made their job much harder.

Stay far away

I would tell anyone looking into this place to stay FAR FAR FAR FAR away. The residents walk around like zombies. They aren't supervised well enough. Specialized needs aren't taken care of. Residents can easily escape. There are too many residents for how many staff members there are. It is just a sad, hopeless, depressing facility. Residents of The Gardens are locked out of their rooms for the entire day and thus forced to find a worker to take them to an always locked restroom or their room to use. Since the facility is understaffed and the residents all have memory issues, this is just ridiculous. My dad went from never having had an accident to wearing an adult diaper in a matter of days. It's was so degrading We moved my dad out of there after six weeks. It would've been sooner but it took time to find a new facility.

Highly recommend.

Staff is attentive and has responded to any concerns I have. They keep me updated on any needs my family member has. Gardens are very pretty and they have many activities to involve the family. I would highly recommend.

No picnic at The Gardens

My loved one was previously a resident at The Gardens of Riverside and overall the experience at this facility was terrible. Some of the staff were nice and helpful. However, there were too many residents and not enough staff to monitor them. Most importantly, the residents are locked out of their rooms for the entire day. I would not recommend The Gardens of Riverside to others.

A great place for loved ones!

I would rate everything 5 stars! This place has been amazing! My dad is doing great there! What we really like about The Gardens is just how friendly the staff members are, how helpful they are, as well as knowledgeable. They genuinely care about my dad and his well-being. Based on our experience with The Gardens of Riverside we would absolutely recommend them to other families.

My personal observation

What we really like about The Gardens is one individual will be assigned to your loved one to care for them, but if your loved one ever needs help any staff members from the director to the maintenance team will assist. They are all so attentive and helpful. Even in the most difficult situations they seem to really be able to handle things in a very professional way. There is musical entertainment there and church services and we would recommend this community to other families.

My review of The Gardens of Riverside

They have taken such great care of our loved one, and taught us many different ways to handle our loved ones health. The personale there could not be more nicer and they are genuine and follow through. We feel so safe in knowing that our loved one is at those beautiful gardens with the other residents and staff members. During covid their jobs have been made so difficult, but they have handle these conditions magnificently. It was a miracle to have found this place for our loved one. They really have done all they can to make these residents feel so loved.

The best facility in Riverside

It is the best facility in Riverside. We looked at so many places, and this was one of the first places we visited. We liked the cleanliness, the staff members, and this place is the closest the residents will get to individual apartment living.

The feel of the room was more like an apartment. Very cozy and feels like a little neighborhood. We loved the living accommodations. We did not like the common areas. There are only 2 indoor common areas. Found them to be dated and not very well kept. There were lots of cameras but didn't seem like there was a lot of staff that walk around to monitor and help residents. During the tour we were not asked questions about our loved ones likes or personality. Other places seem much more interested in individualized care and finding ways to help integrate him into the environment. This place wasn't bad but seemed great for Alzheimer's patients who are much more independent.

Great care

My father in law has been at the gardens for 2 months. He has been very well taken care of there. They have been working hard with us and his doctors to get him on a good regimen of medications due to behavioral issues. We appreciate their love and care for him!

Brookdale is a nice and friendly environment but needs updating so I gave the 4 star rating instead of 5. It may be a bit too spread out with too many rooms and hallways for my mom to navigate. On the other hand, for higher functioning residents that can be a plus. The staff seem caring, knowledgeable and invested in their residents well-being.

Review of Meridian Gardens of Riverside - Riverside, CA

Meridian Gardens provides its residents with a service of community and freedom that I have not seen at other memory care communities. Whenever I visit, I see residents interacting with each other in the television room, doing crafts or puzzles in the dining room, relaxing in the central courtyard or just sitting in the chairs surrounding the courtyard. Meridian Gardens provides independence to their residents while keeping them safe.
