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.

My mom loves life at The Gardens of Sun City. We give it a 5 in all categories. Quality of care, meals, and value for cost are all especially improved over her experience at [community name removed] .We did get in at a reduced rate, though.

Due diligence/visit many facilities

My loved one is currently a resident at The Gardens of Sun City. I'm moving my loved one to a new facility soon. Suggestions: Make sure they are telling the truth. They seem to tell you what you want to hear and that's not the reality. Staffing is always an issue. They try their best, but some are better than others. Also, have more staff on the unit. There is not always enough staff. They also had dirty windows, cob webs hanging from the ceiling, and recessed lights that didn't work. I've had to complain to get these things done. I would not recommend Memory Care at this facility to others.

Tour experience

I LOVED The Gardens of Sun City - it was awesome. The staff were excellent. They were so helpful and helped me get all of my mothers medical records and things that we would need for this process. They gave us a wonderful tour and the price was actually better than the facility we went with. They had quality services provided. The only reason we did not choose this facility was because my mother wanted to be closer to where she lived.

Our families experience

For us 5 definitely but if someone wants a larger property. However, all amenities are great. They take him to Doctors , etc. ?? Me and my daughter love The Gardens of Sun City. It's small, quaint, the people are amazing and everyone knows his name and mine. He loves the nurse care- even though he didn't need all the time and loves the food! We are very happy with the fun activities and the performers they bring in. Every holiday is celebrated and fun for these special folks. I do not have any complaints with Michelle Stevenson, executive director or anything about the Gardens of Sun City!

What we really like about The Gardens of Sun City is it is not a large property, giving more immediate attention to the residents. It's also nice that this community is built in a way that it's residents have to pass by the front desk to leave , reducing the risk of residents of just walking out .
