Madonna Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care in Salinas, CA
4.9

My loved one is currently a resident at Madonna Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care. The staff have always been very friendly and helpful. [Name removed] pays attention to my loved one's medical supplies and lets me know immediately if something runs low or if anything is needed for her care. The move in process was easy and the staff assisted when needed. My loved one's room is always kept clean and organized. My only suggestion would be more attention to the meals regarding diabetic diets/needs. Otherwise, the food is good. I would definitely recommend Madonna Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care to others to assist in the care of their loved ones.

5.0

Whispering Pines Inn has devotedly served the San Benito County for over 26 years. The management & staffs are caring & very responsive to their elderly residents. Being a caregiver is not an easy task. You have to have the heary & compassion which I have seen with the employees as well ad the owners who are there even on weekends. They are hands on in all they do!
