Moving to the Gardens at Town Square was a huge step for my parents. As a family, we felt that the Gardens was the right place for them because it had such a homey feel to it. The welcoming spirit created by the staff and residents gives the place a real sense of community. Before long, my parents made friends and found enjoyment in the activities, especially the frequent musical entertainment and great meals in the dining room. Recently, my mother moved to the memory care area. The director, Sarah, and the staff went out of their way to help us with this transition. Due to the skill and attentiveness of the caregivers, my mom feels safe and comfortable while enjoying the daily activities. It has become her home away from home.

When my Mother broke her hip several years ago, we found her a new home at The Gardens at Town Square. What a lucky thing! We love the community she has become a part of. Staff is friendly and caring, knowing my Mother and her friends by name. The wellness team under the direction of Julie provides us a wonderful sense of safety with their expertise and kind, personal attention. The building is well maintained and has a cozy, European grand hotel vibe. Activities are well-planned and creative. We often remark to each other how glad we are to be part of the community of friends at The Gardens.

My husband, Keith, and I have been at the Gardens for just six weeks, but we could not be happier with our choice. From the first time we walked in the door, we have been impressed with the feeling of community. The open and welcoming atmosphere has made our move so much easier, and we have so enjoyed the wide range of activities. It's a lovely place with a great staff, and we are happy to be here.

My mom just moved into the gardens, which was not her choice as her doctor recommended it and us kids knew it was in her best interest. She was not happy about it. But within 1 month of her living there, she is having a great time! The staff is so wonderful and made the move-in smooth and easy! Her apartment is so cute and looks out over the courtyard. She has met so many people and goes to so many activities she never had the chance before. Best thing we could have done for "Mom"!

I have had the pleasure to photograph The Gardens at Town Square and work with Kamryn Wenner on the Community Relations Team. She is phoenomenal! Very kind, detailed, organized and a pleasure to spend time with. This retirement community is beautifully appointed with friendly, helpful team members and lovely residents. The homes are light and bright, open and airy. The courtyard and its pretty gardens are a great place to relax. I would highly recommend Kamryn Wenner and The Gardens at Town Square.

If you ask, we will tell you the amount of the fee for any community we refer you to.

(d) Services: MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps families find senior living. We gather a short intake about the care needed, suggest communities that appear able to meet those needs, and introduce you to the ones you choose. For you specifically, we will introduce you to The Gardens At Town Square and share with it your name, contact details and the care needs you described, nothing more.

(e) We will never ask you to waive any claim for loss of personal property or injury, or any right you have under state or federal law.

(f) We work with both you and the community in the same transaction: the community pays us, and we are introducing you to it.
