A nice place for mom

Management, staff, and all the people involved are friendly, helpful and make it easier to leave after a visit, knowing Mom's incontinence good hands. Going through some remodeling and the place is looking fresher and brighter. Nice job done by all.

Friendly staff with quality care

I think the facility was great when my grandma was in their assisted living but over time she started to show signs of dementia and the staff didn't know how to handle it. They had her sent to the locked down unit at the hospital where we were able to get her officially diagnosed and able to move her into a proper memory care. I do wish they had more training for age related stuff like dementia

That they do respite care and Mom was allowed to have her sewing machine there. Based on the experience we have had, we would recommend The Gardens of Sun City to other families.

Feels like home

Everyone has been helpful and caring. We love memory care and that they offer activities to meet the resident needs. They aren’t left out. They can participate in activities with the assisted living residents. The staff even helped bring all the memory care residents down to the main dining room to have Easter lunch with the entire community. We would recommend this community.

A first-rate community in every way, that really cares.

The Gardens gets a 5 on all of these, really no negatives. So I'm afraid I'm not much help. Mom loves it there! The care she gets is first rate, everyone treats her as family. Also, the housekeeping is outstanding. Two issues that were very troubling about the previous place. And mom really enjoys the meals here. Also a problem at previous place.

Outstanding, Caring, the Very Best

Beautiful community & wonderful staff! Thru the difficult times when families must make decisions, we were treated with kindness, professionalism, and honesty. It made us feel comfortable in seeing and knowing that everything dad would be needing would be addressed in the best, caring manner. Also, the "little things" they do to be sure he feels at home make such a difference! Rooms are very clean, accommodating, comfortable. The choice to have him at The Gardens was a wise one! Nothing else we'd looked into compared to the peace of mind that they presented. Thank you for the opportunity to present our experience! Recommend highly!!

Gardens of Sun City Review

They were very good about taking out all the decorative things so we could bring Mom's sewing machine. The shower was tough for Mom. We said she needed help showering but didn't get it. The hand held shower was too far away from the built in bench.

Kind and caring

I moved my family member in to the community a few months ago. I chose The Gardens because of my first impression with the staff. They were kind and looked happy. They were interacting with the residents and making them feel like their own family. The building may be older but it is off set by how happy the staff are, how caring and kind they treat my family. Activities are great. Everyone is out and taking care of residents or helping in other areas, including the front office people. We love [name removed] at the desk, Hillary the marketing person and Michelle the executive director. Meals are wonderful and we enjoy coming in to have lunch with our family. Our favorite care staff is [names removed]. We would recommend.
