This is a very nice nursing home that is filled with a caring staff and a 100% improvement over the home she was in before moving to Garden View. Everyone is always smiling and they always say hello. The administration is very professional and very easy to work with. I highly recommend this facility.

My mother spent her last 5 months at Gardenview. The staff was attentive, provided regular care plans and listened to any of my concerns. My mother in law is also at this facility. I am very pleased with care and care from the staff.

My mother at 96 recently passed. She spent the past 2 years at Garden View and the care and attention she received was outstanding. The quality of the associates and management is responsive to the needs of the residents. Would recommend Garden View highly.
