Great Experience

Azalea Gardens has been a blessing for my mom and our family. Not knowing what to expect when mom became a resident, my family and my mom have been very happy with Azalea Gardens. The staff has been wonderful to work with, and the level of care mom has received has been outstanding. There is a strong sense of community, and we have been very pleased with how the staff encourages family interactions. Mom really has enjoyed the activities, including making crafts, gardening, and social outings such as going to see Christmas lights at Oven Park. This has truly become a home for my mom, and we feel like we are part an extended family at Azalea Gardens.

From the time I walk through the doors, I feel comfortable and at ease. It is obvious that the staff truly cares about their residents. Everyone is very involved with the residents and the residents seem very happy. The Executive Director and the Nurse are always available and visible when I go visit.
