Would not recommend

0. They did a terrible job. The staff violated HIPPA , didn't repair the sewer smell coming from her bathroom and didn't call me when her room flooded late at night. They seemed nice at first, but after they got her into a room and I started paying the monthly rent, everything changed. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Caring community

The staff knows all residents by name due to the smaller community size. They encourage them to connect with other residents.

The salesperson toured the memory care-she was right

This is what I was looking for in a memory care unit. Caring, compassionate, efficient, friendly staff with activities. I feel like I hit the jackpot! Mom's first day there they did floral arrangements, bingo, listeners to oldies and had a root beer float party complete w/ activity director dancing _much to the happiness of the residents! Very clean facility also! Great value for what you get!

A perfect Place

My husband and I looked at 6 assisted living facilities all located around Sun City AZ to find an new home for his 100 year old mother. The Gardens is the best. The facility is attractive. spotless, clean and the staff extremely kind and accommodating and attentive to her needs. The room is pleasant and looks out the courtyard garden. She has 3 meals a day.

Extra special care

I'm always happy to visit my mom with such great smiles and above and beyond care I observe. My mom is happy living at the Gardens of Sun City. I appreciate the staff and facility for meeting all of our expectations when we made the decision to move mom in.

A nice place for mom

Management, staff, and all the people involved are friendly, helpful and make it easier to leave after a visit, knowing Mom's incontinence good hands. Going through some remodeling and the place is looking fresher and brighter. Nice job done by all.

Friendly staff with quality care

I think the facility was great when my grandma was in their assisted living but over time she started to show signs of dementia and the staff didn't know how to handle it. They had her sent to the locked down unit at the hospital where we were able to get her officially diagnosed and able to move her into a proper memory care. I do wish they had more training for age related stuff like dementia

The Gardens of Sun City review

That they do respite care and Mom was allowed to have her sewing machine there. Based on the experience we have had, we would recommend The Gardens of Sun City to other families.

Feels like home

Everyone has been helpful and caring. We love memory care and that they offer activities to meet the resident needs. They aren’t left out. They can participate in activities with the assisted living residents. The staff even helped bring all the memory care residents down to the main dining room to have Easter lunch with the entire community. We would recommend this community.

A first-rate community in every way, that really cares.

The Gardens gets a 5 on all of these, really no negatives. So I'm afraid I'm not much help. Mom loves it there! The care she gets is first rate, everyone treats her as family. Also, the housekeeping is outstanding. Two issues that were very troubling about the previous place. And mom really enjoys the meals here. Also a problem at previous place.

Small community just right for you

Gardens of Sun City is a good facility. It is smaller and that is exactly what my mom needed. I would recommend them to others looking.
