Golden Garden, a truly compassionate and genuine staff that do all they can to support the residents. We truly appreciate the care and support that the staff at Golden Garden give our mom. We are treated like family and supported on the decisions of care for our mom. I would like to personally say thank you to the management team, nursing staff, cooks, activity director and janitorial staff, for your kindness, laughter and joy that you bring to Golden Garden. May God continue to bless the team and residents. The Davis Family

As a cooperate guardian I work with multiple assisted living facilities across the city of Milwaukee and several other counties. I have had the pleasure of working with the most dedicated and professional managers of any facility that I visit, Paula Gaston has made my life as a guardian easy, I'm always updated on my ward's and if there are any issues that need addressing I'm informed within a timely manner. Not only is Paula a professional but she has genuine love for the patients, clients or residents by what ever name you call them, Paula goes out of her way to make sure the people she serve have what they need to thrive at Golden Gardens and for this reason I continue to place my ward's at Golden Gardens because without someone who cares as much as Paula, Golden Gardens would just be another assisted living just as bad as the rest of them.
