I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Garden Terrace Alzheimer's Center of Excellence at Aurora was an older building, but it's well kept up. They have a pretty big staff and a lot of volunteers that help with it. It's designed to care for the people in a really good way. They have close access to all the residents from the nurse's station. Although it's very nursing home-ish, the place was absolutely fine. My mom stayed there and the care was excellent. They had activities for the residents and the food was pretty good and fla…

Check this out before all other places

Go to this place first, the care was wonderful. The caregivers were great to my dad, he looked looked cozy and his skin always had color. They put mats down to protect him when he was falling out of bed. Whenever I called they picked up the phone and put him the phone me to talk to. It doesn't smell unpleasant there. They have an ice cream parlor in the building.. The front sitting area is very pleasant. We ere desperate to get him in and they were accommodating.

I visited this facility

Garden Terrace was nice, and the nurses were very friendly and helpful. It was a nice new building, and they kept the grounds nice. There were flowers and trees, and the rooms are clean and nice. They're very professional and helpful.

I visited this facility

Garden Terrace was certainly clean and well-maintained, but I didn’t get the sense of community there. At the other facility, you’re greeted by every staff member, and they’re very friendly, but I didn’t get that impression over at Garden Terrace. People didn’t greet you. I got the impression that it was more of a job and not perhaps their first choice of what they wanted to do. It just wasn’t as friendly.

I am a friend or relative of resident

Overall, I and my family give Garden Terrace five stars for the services they provide in our community to rehabilitating patients, as well as long-term patients who suffer from Alzheimer’s Disease or other forms of dementia. My rating is not only from my own family’s experiences, but also as a result of talking to other residents’ family members who have compared Garden Terrace to competing facilities, where the consensus seems to be that they stand out above all of the others. My out-of-state relatives have even c…

I am a friend or relative of resident

I was shocked to read the 3 other reviews on this site. My dad has lived at Garden Terrace for 19 months now and we have had a fabulous experience here. He is well cared for, the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, from Ryan in Activities/Recreation to the therapy staff headed up by Jennifer to all of the nurses and CNAs and the social worker Zabrina. Even Nancy in the Business Office is helpful and very sweet. Even the Executive Director, John, will come by and say hello when I'm visiting. He always k…
