Went to visit my brother at this place. It’s easy to check in electronically and they print your visitor’s badge right away. It was a Monday morning so everyone was working very hard. There was great fun dance music playing at the entrance and the residents looked very happy. I’m very happy with the care my brother is receiving there. He is making good progress. Thank you to all the fantastic nurses and staff.

Treating my sister like a queen! Give me the $500 dollars and I will absolutely gush over the kindness, professionalism, compassionate care, and awesomeness of all the staff at Camillia Gardens. They have been like a second family to ours but if this is a scam to get a free pitch for your services then shame on you. The career staff deserves any and all the accolades due to those who work tirelessly to improve the lives of the PEOPLE they treat with respect as if they were there own family however if this is just a way to get a star with the hopes of playing on the frayed emotions of the residents/patients passing/healing, and living until god's plans determine the path then leave me, my family, and our loved ones out of your disingenuous pleas. Have a great weekend, and life. We'll see you on the other side🦄🌈
