The staff at Gardens of El Monte made a huge difference in stabilizing the aggressive dementia symptoms of my 95yo mom. She was treated with kindness and compassion and I felt that she was safe. I toured other facilities and Gardens of El Monte was heads above our other options. I’m so thankful to have found them!
