From the moment my mother moved in, the staff has gone above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and ease her anxiety from moving from her home after my father died. I am so grateful. Thank you so much!

Heather is the administrator and has been here for 18 years. She is compassionate, a good leader and loves all the residents. Many of the CNA's, med techs and other staff have been here for many years. They get to know every residents needs, likes and dislikes. It has been a great fit for my 92-yr old dad. Highly recommend!

The Courtyards at Johnson City - The Gardens
3.8

When it comes to the meals and dining, this area needs lots of work. There needs to be healthier, fresh food...more vegetables and fruits. And better quality meats. The activities has recently dramatically improved with the hiring of a really good activities director. Previously, there were limited activities for the residents. Overall, we are happy with The Courtyards but there's room for improvement.
