Being on record means the state or Alexander Gardens lists it. It doesn’t mean they’ve accepted your senior or have a room.

Rating & safety How to read thisThese are the state’s own categories. Type A: problems that, if not corrected, put residents’ health, safety or rights at direct and immediate risk. Type B: problems that could become a risk without correction, or record-keeping problems that affect care. Both must be corrected. Complaints the state didn’t confirm are shown but never counted against the community.

    I am deeply grateful that my mother spent her final year in the exceptional care of Alexander Gardens. Navigating her Parkinson’s and dementia was difficult, but the staff’s kindness, patience, and dignity-first approach provided immense comfort to both of us. The beautiful, fragrant gardens, engaging community activities, and in house entertainment (movies, live music, guest speakers) offered…

    What a lovely setting with its 1.5 acres of gardens. Most importantly, the staff is outstanding, many having worked there for years. They are attentive and care! There are plenty of places for residents to sit outside under an umbrella. My husband likes the gentle ramp in back with its sides and railing to hold onto for his twice daily walk. His room is lovely with its real hardwood floor in the…

Our Client was thrilled to know about Alexander…
