Garden estates is a fairly good place for people needing modest help with living. It's not for people needing a lot of care. Housekeeping could be improved but is adequate. Food is not necessarily consistently good or healthy. Transportation is limited. However the atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is kind and involved personally with the residents, and the rooms are larger than many I viewed. It takes most of my friend's pension to live there.

We were blessed to find Garden Estates
My family and loved one have had a great experience with the community. The staff are kind, caring, and knowledgeable. Everyone is friendly. There are wonderful activities for the residents to participate in. Overall, this is a community we would recommend to others for their loved ones. Two things in particular stood out to me: the place was spotless, it was obvious that sanitation was a priority; the other thing was the residence themselves; they were genuinely happy to be there, and it followed that they were extremely friendly.

Garden Estates…my home!!
I am a resident of Garden Estates Assisted Living Center in Temple, Texas. I have lived here for about eleven months, and truly think of it as home. There are many activities offered here, from games to talent brought in for performances. Just this week we had a “senior prom” with live entertainment, and which residents seem to enjoy. Once a week we have a Bible study led by a resident, which I enjoy. I don’t participate in everything offered, but many residents do. I enjoy the live performances of musicians. Garden Estates is an overall wonderful place, and I’m grateful to be able to live here.

Garden estates has been a good experience. They were very helpful in adjusting fees and in helping my friend get moved in and settled. Great that they had a handyman on premises who installed things. Food is not the best but otherwise no complaints. The staff is helpful I like that there are no levels of care tacked on to his rent. As long as he is pretty much able to navigate by himself he can stay there. If he requires more hands or attention then we will have to move him.

Great place for your loved ones
We had toured a few other communities and ultimately chose this one, and so far it has been a good experience. The staff members are extremely friendly and our loved one really loves the meals they serve. This community looks a lot nicer out of the others and it seems like it would be the most expensive but in reality, it was less then the others. Her apartment is much bigger, the common areas and dining room area is super nice. Based on our experience we would definitely recommend Garden Estates of Temple to other families.

Happy with our choice
As soon as I was interested I reached out to the person I worked with and she answered every question I ever had. Even to this day she is great if I ever have any questions she welcomes me into her office to help. We are very happy and have just gotten through the adjustment period. She is doing very well and I think it is a great facility. I would definitely recommend Garden Estates of Temple, but so so others know, there is limited space available.

Nice place, HORRIBLE MEALS
My mother is a resident and the staff are lovely people. It is very clean & updated decor with nice activities. The food has become a joke. Chicken nuggets one day, a greasy slice of pizza the next, green peas 5 out of 7 days. Not healthy at all. People are healthier and happier when served well balanced and fresh food options. I didn't want to give a poor review, but the management refuses to acknowledge the issue.

Great place
When Sophia on the TV program Golden Girls moved to Shady Pines, the characters referred to it as "the home". When I first came to Garden Estates in Temple, Texas, my son and I jokingly referred to it as "the home". Now, after three months living here, I simply refer to it as "home" because that's the way I feel about Garden Estates. The staff is wonderful. All my needs are met, and even though I'm not as old as some of the other residents, I feel like it is a great place for me to live in this season of my life. I'm grateful that I found Garden Estates.

The fact that we get so bogged down, they need to go in and actually speak with the facility for the residents needs. That way you can make sure are covered for the correct care for the resident. They will definitely listen to those needs and concerns and ensure that any and all of those requested are completely taken care of to ease your mind. Fantastic job all around.

highly recommend a great community
The Garden Estates community gets nothing but 5 stars across the board, their main purpose here is to keep us comfortable and happy and they do their absolutely best. These people are awesome, the executive director even spent days in our apartment getting our computer and printer working and the staff helped us hang up all the things we wanted on our walls. They do have a lot of activities going on - bingo a few times during the week, other games like dominoes. They will even bring in outside entertainment once or month or even sometimes more. Based on our overall experience so far I would definitely recommend this community to other families
