Review for Azalea Gardens Transitional Assisted Living and Memory Care

The staff were wonderful and caring toward my mom. The facilities were awesome and everyone went out of their way to assist. I would wholeheartedly support Azalea Gardens. They did wonderful work with my mom and we were truly blessed to have been able to go there.

We moved my mom into Azalea Gardens in the middle of May, due to a move, and have not had any regrets with our choice. From day one, the entire staff has gone out of their way to make my mom feel comfortable and welcomed. Each time I visit my mom, she is clean, well dressed and happy. Ideally, she would prefer to live with her family, but her needs have exceeded our abilities to keep her safe and clean. I highly recommend Azalea Gardens to any family who is looking for memory care for their loved one!

disappointed in caregiver turnoff (staff isn't the problem)

Lots of turn over. You find a caregiver you like and they are gone. The ratio is way too high per resident. The caregivers seem to be over worked. The staff is great and try very hard to make up for their lack of help. It's way too expensive for the level of care you get. But that seems the norm for these care facilities.

Great Experience

Azalea Gardens has been a blessing for my mom and our family. Not knowing what to expect when mom became a resident, my family and my mom have been very happy with Azalea Gardens. The staff has been wonderful to work with, and the level of care mom has received has been outstanding. There is a strong sense of community, and we have been very pleased with how the staff encourages family interactions. Mom really has enjoyed the activities, including making crafts, gardening, and social outings such as going to see Ch

Azalea Gardens is Wondderful.

Azalea Gardens has been wonderful for my mother and our family. ALL of the employees show such caring from the heart for the residents. I can walk in unannounced at any time and see the same high level of care, cleanliness and engagement. I love the smaller setting, and believe the caretaker to resident ratio is working well. I am also very impressed at the educational sessions they provide for families. They have been extremely helpful to our family as we travel on this journey together. If your family member ne

A Wonderful Place

Considering memory care for my mom was very difficult, but from the moment we walked in the door for our official “tour", we saw skilled, caring professionals dealing with all levels of care in a beautiful setting. My mom has settled in and is enjoying the wide array of activities and outings. We are so happy we found Azalea Gardens.
