Holiday The Gardens at Wakefield

My mother is at the Gardens at Wakefield, and after 2.5 years, she's still very pleased. Her apartment with the full sized kitchen lets her continue to enjoy her hobby of baking. Her large 2 bedroom, with washer/dryer, looks over the beautiful garden and gazebo. She has made nice friends, enjoys the activities, and lives close by, so I can visit often. The Gardens at Wakefield was recently renovated and redecorated in a beautiful, modern decor. The kind and compassionate staff gives us all a sense of safety and security. What's not to love?!

The new ownership has and is continuing to create an unpleasant environment for seniors. The new furnishings in the common areas are not suitable for elders and are difficult to manuver. The building now gives a gloomy and cold atomsphere upon entering. Everything is one color which is depressing. Although your meals are included in the flat monthly fee ownership has now decided that should a person wish to pickup and take their meal to their apartment or even outside, in the garden, they will be charged an extra fee. Many, most of the residents really, are very unhappy.

From the moment you walk into the Gardens there is a sense of friendliness and caring from the staff and residents. The daily activities provide a variety of programs to enhance the needs of everyone to ensure not only fun, but education, religion, group outings, entertainment and personal relationships.

Everything at the Garden is wonderful for both moms, the entire staff and management are excellent. Professional, friendly and caring service. The major complaint from our moms and others is the refurbishing was done in a very modern, cold and sterile environment. The population tends to be older and likes warm and cozy atmosphere. The continuing rise in rent causes concern and worry.

The Gardens at Wakefield is not only a beautiful community in a great location but you feel like family when you’re there - the staff engages with the residents and provide many opportunities for connection and involvement.

My mother, almost 92 years old, was a resident at The Gardens for the last 9 years,. She has now move to an assisted living facility because she requires more help in her daily living. My mom thoroughly enjoyed her time at The Gardens. The staff treated her with such love and respect; they became her family. She made so many dear friends! In her first 8 years, she was very active and participated in many of the planned activities. She enjoyed Bingo, the hand bell choir, frequent musical entertainment as well as many off campus activities in her earlier years. I am so grateful that my mother was able to maintain her independence for so many years in such a beautiful, caring facility.

I have been in the process of touring many places for my parents and have come back to the Gardens. Not only is it a great place to live the staff are exceptional. [Name Removed] has giving several tours to us during this process and has always answers all of our questions. Looking forward to my parents living there within the month.

Our experience moving mom into Wakfield Gardens was very seamless. There were minimal issues moving her in and they were all resolved quickly and with kindness. The set up of mom’s account and and her meals and and cleaning services haeve been very good. Mom’s personality type is more of an introvert and she has memory and hearing issues, so she doesn’t reach out to other very much. Therefor, having an ambassador is very helpful for mom. The facility is undergoing renovations which is always disruptive; however, they have tried to minimize the disruptions during meal times. The staff from managers to office staff to dining staff are friendly and go out of their way to be helpful.

I visited several residents here and they really enjoy living at the Gardens. The staff is exceptional and present. There is always something going on to keep the residents engaged.

Overall, I'm happy with this facility. It's clean, staff is friendly, and communication with the family is good. They're very responsive. They have some remodeling plans in the works, which I think will be good when it's done. The only suggestion I have would be easier entrance/exit access. I think they have some push button/automatic doors, but they don't always work. I toured several communities and this was the most friendly and welcoming. I felt at home here. Food quality is good, but I wish they had more variety. That would help those who are on a more restrictive diet like my mom is. I would recommend them to family and friends.

I've had a very good experience here at the Gardens of Wakefield. The employees are all very professional, friendly and especially responsive (same day) to any service requests I've had, from air conditioning issues and repairs to appliances such as dish washer and fridge. I would give them an A+ RATING. The entire facility is well taken care of (inside and out). The food is excellent. I've never had one disappointing meal.

I'd strongly recommend anyone to visit The Gardens of Wakefield if they're considering Independent Living for their loved one.

We chose The Gardens at Wakefield because of the level of activities they have provided. My dad is very active and they offer a lot of outdoor activities as well like cornhole. He is a smoker and they have a beautiful smoking area outside where he hangs out with his friends. He appreciates having his apartment cleaned every week and they change his linens and sheets. My dad would give the food a 10 if he could, he raves about it and he says he has not put a bite in his mouth that is not delicious. They have a GPS that all residents wear around their belt and it runs off of a Verizon tower. So if he presses that button no matter where he is they can send help. I even have an app on my phone so I can track him as well. That is a wonderful feature and it gives our family peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend this facility to others looking.

[name removed] that is the Community Sales Manager at The Gardens of Wakefield was so helpful and made the move in process for my client so smooth. The community offers a lot of activities and engagement which is exactly what my client was looking for. The pricing is very good especially for all the amenities they offer. Would highly recommend this community!

Every month we hold a special event for the residents and staff. The staff members are extremely kind and caring. All of the residents appear to be happy and well-adjusted to their environment. From the moment you enter the lobby you get a sense of peace and joyfulness. It is easy to see why others want to call The Gardens "HOME!"

The Senior Network provides a program monthly at The Gardens. Everything is neat and clean. Staff, especially the sales community manager, is very friendly and helpful. There is a good attendance at the event.
