Review for The Gardens Independent Living
I always tell people this: The size of her apartment is perfect for one person. The building is super clean and I love how the folks get to personalize their shelves outside. The special touches, like the cloth napkins, in the dining area make it feel "homey". The activity schedule is full

I always tell people this: The size of her apartment is perfect for one person. The building is super clean and I love how the folks get to personalize their shelves outside. The special touches, like the cloth napkins, in the dining area make it feel "homey". The activity schedule is full with a variety of things ~ something for everyone. If they don't stay busy, or if they feel lonely, it's on them.

Review for The Gardens Independent Living
It's a great place. She loves it there. It was sooo clean, had a lot to do everyday, dining room was set up with real napkins plus good food/lots of choices, indoor pool with classes, newly renovated apartment that had balcony and faced the interior yard, and was middle of the road priced. The staff is super friendly and helpful and their are so many activities to choose from. I would recommend to others.

After 3 months I still love it here. No cooking, no cleaning, no maintenance, no property taxes, etc.
I have been very happy here. The food is great. Every month there is a Menu Meeting where you can discuss likes, dislikes, things you would like to see. Place looks and smells great at all times. Our apartment is cleaned once a week with "deep cleanings" twice a year. Staff is friendly and helpful. Nice not to worry if there's a drip in the kitchen faucet...just call Maintenance. Phoenix provides nursing type care if needed for an extra cost which I think is very reasonable. Lots of activities. The facility has an indoor swimming pool as well as a pool table. There is a movie theater room with theater seats and sound system. In fact there is too much to mention it all. Including rides to the local Symphony when they are playing. Includes rides to/from doctor appointments. Bus trips to local stores. It is a bit pricey to live here but if you make use of everything that is offered it's a good deal.

It's been wonderful, they are wonderful there and very helpful. My loved one's apartment is comfortable and maintained well. They're very sweet about watching out for him and communicating with us as well as getting back to us. He has friends that he has meals and the neighbors keep an eye out for him for us. What we liked the most about The Gardens was that they have continuing care.

A Place for Mom has scored The Gardens Independent Living 9.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
