My dad has been living at Bel marin gardens since 11/2022, it is now 2/24. My dad who turned 99 in December is happy, healthy and well cared for. Because he is not as disabled as the other residents I'm able to take him out when weather is good and out to lunch. The people here run a cozy and clean home. Someone is always cooking and they are very gentle and compassionate with the care the residents receive. Great location and spacious single story house. A big thank you to Laarni and other caregivers at this residence.

We are so thankful and appreciative to the Bel Marin Gardens Staff for their kindness and support over a 9 month period last year. Laarnie and her team stepped in at the 11th hour and provided a high level of support to our sister who was coming out of surgery and a complex health crisis. The Bel Marin Gardens facility is located in a beautiful physical environment with true “home like” surroundings. Bel Marin Keys is simply beautiful. We will always remember and value the incredible support our sister received while she was under their care - We highly recommend Bel Marin Gardens to any family that wants the best for their loved one. Respectfully, Bob G ~

Our Mom, who is 94, and our family are tremendously grateful to have found Bel Marin Gardens. When we first visited, we found a lovely, family home - light, clean and cozy, with beautiful waterfront views of Marin. The caregivers have years of experience, and they’re also kind, compassionate, patient and cheerful. At Bel Marin Gardens, our Mom is safe and well-cared for. And, we love to see how the caregivers dote over her. She’s not only healthy, but she’s positive and engaged. On a recent visit, we were in her room, chatting, and I said “Mom, they take good care of you here”, and she immediately and enthusiastically replied “yes, yes they do!” We’re so glad that our Mom is at Bel Marin Gardens, and we greatly appreciate the care that she receives there. Thank you, Laarni and the caregivers of Bel Marin Gardens! -Jim C.

Bel Marin Gardens was a blessing to our family in a desperate time. It was right in the midst of the Covid crisis when we realized that our mom needed more help than we were able to provide. L’Arnie and her wonderful staff came to the rescue. The transition was seamless. The staff followed all the Covid protocols very carefully. They were very attentive and kept us informed every day of mom’s health issues. They were always available to talk no matter what time of day. The facility is very clean, the staff competent and the food was wonderful. We believe that our mom received best care available and we are beyond grateful. We highly recommend Bel Marin Gardens.

What a safe haven Bel Marin Gardens have been. Was helping my neighbor through a very difficult situation and she stayed their during transitions. We both thought the place was “NOT” a hospital; feeling but more of a HOME. Individual room, super clean, food was good and staff was fabulous. Very peaceful view. My husband & i wish we would have met Laarni when my father in-law was alive! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
