My husband and I have been here 2 years and we are happy and we have a nice apartment. The people here are very friendly and the food is good. At times our family members even join us for meals. We have made a lot of new friends and I like to join in on the daily group exercises. We like the fact that there is security 24/7 and the doors are locked from the outside. We are very comfortable here at Brenden Gardens.... Read more

The staff are real friendly. I would like to see them have more activities, the dining room is off limits in between meals. Some more space for activities would be nice. There is a lot of isolation, they just eat and go back to their rooms. The food seems to okay. They do have a few activities, but we thought there would be a lot more.

Response from Brenden Gardens
June 10, 2014Mike, thank you so much for your feedback. Is your loved one at Brenden Gardens new to our community? The reason I ask is I want to make sure they are receiving our Activity Calendar each month which is full of fun things to do. Our Activity Director Christine Brimer is always available to sit and discuss current or even new activities for the future with you and your family -- where to sign up for trips, cards, and other fun activities. We look forward to hearing from you! Thanks again, John Balota Executive Director Brenden Gardens
They've done an excellent job here, my loved one really seems to be enjoying it. Her mood and outlook just seem much better since she started staying here, and she has been so much more social. The facility itself is very nice, and always clean, and the staff are all very friendly and helpful!

I really like them! Everything has been great. The two people that run the place, Caroline and John, have been nothing but fantastic! It's only been a short while, but so far, everything has been great!

We were looking a couple of years ago (2/2 and a half) and I think the food was better here than other places. At that point mom did not want to go in but it's cheaper than other places, we had mom ready to move there. When we toured we were very excited and we had an opportunity to go out and have dinner and lunch and the food was excellent, the apartment was a lot cheaper than others. She wouold have paid less for a one bedroom here than a studio at other places. I would have put them euqal to others but we weren't there to see how the maids worked and it's a little bit secluded, they did provide transportation but I didn't get a chance to see it in operation, it was on a promise.

Obviously the price or cost was one issue but we just thought that the facility looked ideal for my wife's mom. The rooms were nice, the meals that they provided looked like the were outstanding. It was indicated and also obvious that they keep the facility well maintained. We tried the food also and it was very good. My wife's mom likes it very much, she said she really likes it and enjoys socializing with the people who are there. Like we did, anybody that's considering that type of care, they need to look at different options and make a choice based on what they see and what will be best for them.

A Place for Mom has scored Brenden Gardens 9.4 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
