Most of staff are friendly. My wife has Alzheimer's, will not let staff help her, and they do not push her as much as they could to shower and change clothes regularly. Unless I ask questions or point out concerns, there is no feedback on how my wife is doing. Housekeeping is not very good. Meals are acceptable. If a resident needed individual attention, I would not recommend the Gardens. Feedback on residents progress or status is poor.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts John. I am the Executive Director and, as we have discussed, when a resident in our Assisted Living neighborhood starts to need additional care it is our responsibility to track those changes and when appropriate help the family to find a suitable placement where that help is available. We will continue to work with you to ensure your wife receives the care she needs, and do not hesitate to reach out to me directly if you ever have any questions or concerns.

The staff was amazing and made me feel at ease putting my husband there. The laundry ladies seemed nice, the few I met though some of course seemed like they didn't really love their job(kinda see that everywhere these days). The floor nurses were super nice friendly and welcoming. My husband only lived there for a short time before he passed away, but in that time communication was good with the staff. The move in was super easy. They loaned us a dolly and gave us all the time in the world to decorate the room. We moved him in 2 days later. All the moving process was easy. Once he passed, they didn't put any pressure on me to move his things out either. He seemed fine with the food, though his appetite decreased as his dementia progressed. I would absolutely recommend The Gardens to anyone looking for Assisted Living or Memory Care!

Review for The Gardens of Virginia Beach
We love it and my parents seem to have a great time socializing - especially my mom! She is very social and it's great that they have tons of activities planned every day. We chose it because the price was very reasonable, and they seemed to have a fun, very social atmosphere. The Gardens has provided exactly what both of my parents have needed - socialization, fun, and activities for my Mom - and hands on, responsive medical care for my Dad. The best of both worlds!

The facility is clean, open and the lighting is great. The staff is generally friendly and helpful. I like the app that they use for activity information and communication. It provides the calendar of activities for the day and reports what activities your family member has participated in during the day. However, I do wonder why no pictures are ever posted of my loved one's participation. I would like there to be more communication between the facility and myself otherwise. Because I'm unable to be there personally, when I call to check on my loved one, I would prefer to speak to the nurse on duty and not to the assistant nurse director, who probably has no contact with my loved one.

Short staffed
My loved one was a resident here and staffing was an issue. They were so short staffed that the Executive Director and other administration were on kitchen duties and they ran out of food. The facility was clean, the staff that they did have was friendly. We'd chosen this facility because it was newer, clean, affordable, and we heard everything that we wanted to hear....but they didn't deliver. They intended to do everything right, but staffing was a disaster. I'd rate them at a 2 until the fix the staffing. Once that is fixed, my rating would probably return to a 4 or 5.

The staff is extremely friendly. They have a new administrator who has come in and is working very hard to make positive changes to the facility, including the dining services. If you have a concern, they work very hard to address it. All things together, there is always room for improvement. And they're taking steps to make those improvements now.

The caring staff makes this a great community. Wendy took her time with the family and answered all of our questions and gave advice to assist with the transition of our loved one in to the community. The staff were supportive of our loved one and worked well with hospice. My loved one passed during their time at the community, and the staff have been supportive of the family even after this fact.

Tour experience
We had a really great tour experience at The Gardens of Virginia Beach, I was impressed with this facility and this would have been my top choice. It was more expensive but it seemed like a step above the other facilities that we were looking into. The staff seemed more professional and they had different doctors and care coming in as well. My loved one did not want to move here because the location was too far away from family.

Thanks for visiting us and sharing your feedback. We're glad to read you liked what you saw and that the team really impressed you. Note that we do have a wide variety of floor plans that accommodate personal preferences and budgets, and offer short term stays at The Gardens. Since our community was at the top of your list, we'd encourage your loved one to consider a short term stay in order to “try out” senior living before making a commitment. They may find they fall in love with the community and that we're closer than they think! Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

Mixed thoughts
My parent has not enjoyed the time at this community. The staff are friendly for the most part but there is a lot of confusion among them. There are a lot of staff that come from agencies and we are not happy with the work. They are trying to help and I have been in contact with them and the issues continue. My mom can be difficult but at the same time there is a lot going on and she has had to wait up to 45 minutes for a response when she calls for help with a page.

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Gardens of Virginia Beach

The Gardens of Virginia Beach offers Studio. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Gardens of Virginia Beach 8.9 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.
