Place has gone downhill big time. They remolded and it already looks bad. Shame on the Management team. Would rather charge elderly a ton of money and make big profits vs put the money into the actually facility. Which would help the elderly have better lives. Just my thought.

This is the best assisted living facility I have ever seen. I have had numerous family members throughout my life in various facilities throughout the United States, so I have seen plenty of them. My mother came to this facility with some reluctance to give up her solitary life in her home of 40 years, but her health and frailty really required it. The staff at Garden Estates made her feel so welcome and cared for that she came to realize that this was a great place for her but also that she should have come much sooner in her life. The rooms are excellently laid out and equipped where someone with severe arthritis can live fairly independently but also knowing that the staff are so quick and available to give whatever assistance is needed or desired for help with all levels of life activities. Another great aspect of life for a resident here is the attitude of the residents. This is a friendly, caring place. The residents have a genuine interest in each other but also know somehow when just enough interest is needed and when to allow someone their personal space. The food served here is excellent. My son and I ate here numerous times with my mother; I think he enjoyed coming to visit her because he knew he could get a good cheeseburger in the cafeteria as well as seeing his grandmother. I also enjoyed meals with my mother here. I am so glad that I took my mother here.
