Amazing community! Had to make the hard decision to move my father-in-law into independent living and he’s now thriving! The staff at Southside Gardens is INCREDIBLE!<br><br>Jeri took us for a tour on a Saturday and gave us all the information we needed to make our decision. She really made us feel welcome and took excellent care of us. She made the decision easy for us to move him in!<br><br>The other staff from kitchen, maintenance, front desk, and management truly care about the residents that live on the property. Thank you so much!

Helpful and polite staff. Facility is clean and updated, but what earns them five stars are the people that work there and also the residents that live there. Family owned and operated and it shows! Great place!

I cannot say enough great things about the staff at Southside Gardens. My Mom has lived there now for nine years both in Independent Living and Assisted Living. I would put the care that she receives up against any in the state. They treat her like family and it allows me to feel totally comfortable to carry on with my other responsibilities. I have complete confidence in their management and caregivers and am grateful to have found the perfect community for Mom to enjoy this season of life.
