January 26, 2023Aren't those bathrooms AMAZING!! We are so happy to hear that your mother is loving her new residence. There is no bigger compliment than to hear that a new resident is happy and thriving!
I visited the Gardens of Pelhem where we recently moved my mom into and it’s beautiful. The staff is awesome and very attentive. The rooms and common areas are very nice and laid out well. They have activities planned for the residents and a van for local trips. I had a pleasant visit at this very nice community. If you’re considering moving a family member into an assistant living facility you should visit the Gardens of Pelham.

The Gardens has been a wonderful place for my Mother. She has had wonderful care from the staff. She has made lots of new friends and completely enjoys the company and conversations. The activities, dining area and outdoor sitting areas are a big part of her day. She is happy and that's what matters the most to me as a daughter.

We were searching for an assisted-living facility for my MIL who had been in rehab after surgery for a femur fracture. We found a lot of assisted-living places did not provide enough assistance for her. Our only alternative was skilled nursing. But, we found exactly what we needed at the Gardens of Pelham. It is a smaller facility that provides individualized care to every resident. They have wonderful outdoor areas where residents can sit outside and socialize. All the staff are friendly and responsive. The meals are served hot and are delicious (according to my MIL). The administrator is on-site. She checks in with us when we visit to be sure there are no issues or concerns. I give the Gardens of Pelham a 5 star recommendation without hesitation.

I did really like Gardens of Pelham but it was EXTREMELY expensive to have both of my parents here and we just could not afford it. The pricing is all inclusive but it was just a lot.

Gardens of Pelham has been a great place for my mom. The staff takes good care of her daily by providing help when needed, balanced meals and activities for all the residents. Cost is reasonable and since it is a smaller facility, residents get more individual attention.

My mother -in-law has been living at the Gardens of Pelham for the past several years. The staff has been great. They not only provide meals, laundry, and activities they also a beautician service available. The director has always been available and has gone out of her way to be helpful when needed. But most importantly, mom loves staying at the Gardens.
