Garden Way

Anita

We chose Garden Way. It just felt comfortable there. We liked the amenities and the apartment. We're going to get a bright and sunny 2-bedroom, 2-bath, and it would probably accommodate most of our things. The place is very comfortable, cozy, and the people are always very friendly there. The food was very good and we really enjoyed it. They have an exercise program, trips, and card rooms. They also have pool tables, and all kinds of things going on. The staff is very nice and helpful. The apartments are very nice and not gloomy. We certainly liked them. The facility is very up to date, modern, clean, and very nice-looking.

Garden Way is very nice and the staff overall is excellent. The concierge is also excellent because when I informed her I was looking, she called me immediately and bought me cookies and banana bread. The apartments were nice, but they have no outside doors, and they have full kitchens even though they provide three meals a day. They were having a buffet during Memorial Day. I noted that the waitresses had little pads in their pockets so they could take your order. It's a newer place and the most modern among the places I have visited.

We liked South Garden Way. It was done nicely. It's a very comfortable place. It's also in a nice situation. We enjoy the makeup. It was a 5-star location. The person that was running the facility took one of the other members who lived there and all four of us toured the facility.

Garden Way has a lot of things available that appeal to me like gardening and trips. The cost is fixed including food and transportation; I think that might be doable. The rooms are apartments. They have various sizes of rooms. Also, I know the area. It is in a nice place to go walking. It is almost downtown. I would rate it as a 5 because they seem to be very happy people.

Garden Way is much better than where my parents were. We have limited access because of the virus, but my parents seem happy. The living quarters are a little bit smaller than the apartment they had at another facility, but they seem more comfortable at Garden Way. They can make more choices for themselves, even during this pandemic. They feel like they're treated with respect and more like adults than children. A lot of the amenities are shut down because of the pandemic. They think the breakfast is very good. They're not as enamored of the dinner, but they are also thinking that food is probably a little bit different during the pandemic. They don't have salad bars and fresh selections right now. They're hoping it will improve when the vaccine becomes available and we all get back to a little more normal life. When my parents moved there, a couple more residents from where they were also chose to go there. I was really impressed with how Garden Way handled their interview and the accommodations they made for them to move during this pandemic. They were really professional and very helpful. They have a spacious living room and a large master bedroom, but a really tiny second bedroom and less storage options. Two of us can now and visit at a time. My husband and I, or my brother and I can go together, but we can't eat in the dining room. The staff was very helpful when I was helping my parents move. It's outrageously expensive. It's just nice to know they're safe.

My sister-in-law moved into Garden Way, and so far, so good. Everything is good, except for the COVID-19, because everything is not fully accessible, but it's a good place though, and we like it. The food is OK, not bad, the food is very good. I've met a few of the staff. They're all very nice, very helpful, and very professional.
