I'm a new resident at the gardens. The food it's excellent, always quick service and friendly staff. The caregivers take good care of me even though I'm very independent. The activities are great, we have different one everyday. The transportation it's good but there's always room for improvement.

I would like to say the service it's excellent! The servers are very friendly and helpful. For every meal be have two options the special of the day and the menu. However the special of the day it's usually faster than choosing from the menu. But, it's worth the wait, because it's always fresh!

I would tell others that the director here is very responsive to any concerns or issues you may have and seems to be very on top of things with her residents. I would recommend this facility to others looking.

My loved one requires a level of care that is higher than the general population, and sometimes it can be a challenge for the community. The residents that have low care levels seem happy here. They have activities for the residents to partake in. [Name removed] is an incredible person. My loved one loves it here. The food variety is good.

You have to have a negative test each week to visit, The communication could be better, They are good to let us know if there was an incident but if we call it to take way too long for them to respond.. They do have a newsletter they send out. The community has a nice vibe too. The community is very nice, and if everything was back to normal I would recommend this community to others

It's like a hotel. Bright and airy. It is however, slightly above my budget... but do-able, maybe... still looking

This was my favorite so far. The people were so nice, the residents seemed happy. It was really clean, even though the outside of building was fairly old looking. I would like to discuss pricing with someone - the person giving us the tour didn't know anything about that.

I toured the Gardens while looking at living options for my mother. I did like it, and I thought it was a nice place, but it was more expensive than other places I looked, I ultimately liked some of the other places better. Comparatively, it seemed to me that while this was a nice community, more was offered at a better price elsewhere.

Love this place but out of our price range and not super costly compared to most but they are pretty non-negotiable. Medication management is an extra charge which is a major reason we need assisted living so counts this one out.

My mom is FINALLY on a schedule. Something that couldn't be accomplished at home. She and her quarters are always neat and clean when we visit at any hour of the day. She loves the food and her new roommate. The med staff is on point with her meds and the care staff is attentive.

The community is very clean and the grounds are nice. I would recommend this community. The only complaint I have is dealing with one person and the insurance paperwork. The staff is nice and helpful. The food is good and she likes to participate in the numerous outings offered.
