The staff care about what they do and who they are doing it for. The food is outstanding. The facility is not too big and overwhelming. The rooms are a very good size. It is an older facility, but they know that and are upfront about it. All of the other positives made it feel like it was the right place.

Very Disappointed
My loved one moved out. The memory care unit is full, and they put people who who should be in the memory care unit in the regular rooms. There were physical altercations in the dining room on more than one occasion between staff and residents. We had repeated issues with access to get into the building after 7:45 PM.

There's a good community of people for social butterflies, there's almost always a friendly group hanging out in the lobby. The staff is friendly too. Housekeeping is good, the room isn't usually too messy but she is a messy person so it's hard to keep up. The meals are good quality, sometimes she says they're not good or too tough but usually she likes them

Most of staff are friendly. My wife has Alzheimer's, will not let staff help her, and they do not push her as much as they could to shower and change clothes regularly. Unless I ask questions or point out concerns, there is no feedback on how my wife is doing. Housekeeping is not very good. Meals are acceptable. If a resident needed individual attention, I would not recommend the Gardens. Feedback on residents progress or status is poor.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts John. I am the Executive Director and, as we have discussed, when a resident in our Assisted Living neighborhood starts to need additional care it is our responsibility to track those changes and when appropriate help the family to find a suitable placement where that help is available. We will continue to work with you to ensure your wife receives the care she needs, and do not hesitate to reach out to me directly if you ever have any questions or concerns.

The staff was amazing and made me feel at ease putting my husband there. The laundry ladies seemed nice, the few I met though some of course seemed like they didn't really love their job(kinda see that everywhere these days). The floor nurses were super nice friendly and welcoming. My husband only lived there for a short time before he passed away, but in that time communication was good with the staff. The move in was super easy. They loaned us a dolly and gave us all the time in the world to decorate the room. We moved him in 2 days later. All the moving process was easy. Once he passed, they didn't put any pressure on me to move his things out either. He seemed fine with the food, though his appetite decreased as his dementia progressed. I would absolutely recommend The Gardens to anyone looking for Assisted Living or Memory Care!

Review for The Gardens of Virginia Beach
We love it and my parents seem to have a great time socializing - especially my mom! She is very social and it's great that they have tons of activities planned every day. We chose it because the price was very reasonable, and they seemed to have a fun, very social atmosphere. The Gardens has provided exactly what both of my parents have needed - socialization, fun, and activities for my Mom - and hands on, responsive medical care for my Dad. The best of both worlds!

The facility is clean, open and the lighting is great. The staff is generally friendly and helpful. I like the app that they use for activity information and communication. It provides the calendar of activities for the day and reports what activities your family member has participated in during the day. However, I do wonder why no pictures are ever posted of my loved one's participation. I would like there to be more communication between the facility and myself otherwise. Because I'm unable to be there personally, when I call to check on my loved one, I would prefer to speak to the nurse on duty and not to the assistant nurse director, who probably has no contact with my loved one.

Short staffed
My loved one was a resident here and staffing was an issue. They were so short staffed that the Executive Director and other administration were on kitchen duties and they ran out of food. The facility was clean, the staff that they did have was friendly. We'd chosen this facility because it was newer, clean, affordable, and we heard everything that we wanted to hear....but they didn't deliver. They intended to do everything right, but staffing was a disaster. I'd rate them at a 2 until the fix the staffing. Once that is fixed, my rating would probably return to a 4 or 5.

I have nothing but good things to say about The Gardens of Virginia Beach. The director of sales [name removed] is fantastic. I love her style of management and transparency, especially with the pricing. They have so much activity planned for the residents each day. I get emails of the events calendar and there is lots going on. They work with us as the family very well. It has been a perfect fit for my dad, he does great with the home like environment here.

The staff is extremely friendly. They have a new administrator who has come in and is working very hard to make positive changes to the facility, including the dining services. If you have a concern, they work very hard to address it. All things together, there is always room for improvement. And they're taking steps to make those improvements now.

The caring staff makes this a great community. Wendy took her time with the family and answered all of our questions and gave advice to assist with the transition of our loved one in to the community. The staff were supportive of our loved one and worked well with hospice. My loved one passed during their time at the community, and the staff have been supportive of the family even after this fact.

Review for The Gardens of Virginia Beach
It was a nice facility but we were looking for an option, with the open concept of the structure which was important for us.
Response from The Gardens of Virginia Beach
October 13, 2022
Thanks for visiting, and we're glad you liked the community. Note that our residents enjoy the beautiful open courtyard, spacious dining room and foyer along with plenty of smaller cozy spaces to enjoy a quiet conversation with friends. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance and best wishes as you explore senior living options.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Virginia regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Virginia regulations for Assisted Living.
