    I could not have asked for a better home for my Mom. I only wish she could have stayed longer. She loved the fitness classes and the food. The staff was so friendly as were the other residents. Jonathan, Dion and Nurse Laura were all very helpful when we moved my mom in and also called me immediately whenever anything happened that we may be concerned about. I really cannot give The Gardens at…

    This facility the staff. It's like family. They took amazing care of my mom. She was there for 2 years. Always in awe at the genuine care they provided to my mom. I'm so grateful. Will forever be. We lost our sweet mama today and the staff came in one by one to say goodbye and it was so touching. Thank you all 💞💗

The day was a very big…

    The Gardens is truly a gem! From the moment you walk in, the ambience is one of peace and calm in a lush and lovely setting. The rooms are generous in size and wheelchair-friendly, and many have beautiful views of the courtyard and small private patios for mini gardens. There is a restaurant-style dining room serving up award-winning meals--and ample desserts! The activity and living rooms have a…
