My family was looking for an assisted living place for our dad. Today, we met with Janice for a tour of Sakura Gardens. She was compassionate, personable, and patient. Romeo shared a wealth of knowledge and information in an understanding and thoughtful way. We walked away feeling immensely relieved. We look forward to moving our dad into Sakura Gardens.

Did a tour with Janice with my mom. I wanted to visited here because my mother is Japanese, and was looking for a place that would make her feel comfortable being in an environment with people of similar backgrounds. From the moment we walked in, you can hear a lot of people speaking Japanese. We were able to have lunch, which had the taste of a home cooked meal. Janice did a great job with the tour, engaging my mom and answering any questions I had. It is an older facility, but is kept up. From what I observed, the staff is attentive and friendly to the residents. No decision was made today but it is on the top of our list.
