Do not consider this facility. This building is poorly maintained, not cleaned properly, and is managed by a group of very unprofessional staff / nurses. They do not check on the residents that reside here and when families come to visit they are hassled by the staff and are even locked out at times. Even during visiting hours they want you to call and schedule a time to visit your relative. Restrooms are not cleaned properly and at times there are bugs in the facility. There are also no activities for the resident…

I would not recommend this facility. Multiple reasons. The facility is not inviting to the residents nor visiting family members. The area outside which should be a place for residents to gather and socialize is not maintained. On multiple occasions there was no staff to admit me into the facility after hours and I visited my family member.

We put my aunt in Camellia Gardens. She’s in a shared room, so she has a roommate, but it's a nice sizable room with a full bath and a nice-sized closet. When I went, the staff was very responsive, very helpful, and very nice. They took all the time that was necessary to answer our questions. I have nothing but good remarks for the staff. They worked with my aunt’s budget and her needs.
