PositiveGardens Review
Things they do well at: The staff at The Gardens assisted living is very helpful and they will work with you to help provide your love ones with a comfortable environment. Areas for improvements: I think they need more options on the food choices for the residents to choose from.
★★★★★
PositiveI had a good tour at The Gardens. The lady who led the tour was real nice. The facility was still in the middle of construction, so I didn't get a true overall view of how it was going to operate. But they showed me what rooms were going to look like, and it looked like it was going to turn out nicely. The people who run it seem to be very knowledgeable, cordial, and nice. It’s a family operated facility, a mother/daughter team I believe. And everyone there treated me real nice.
