Review for Cadence at Garner by Cogir

It was a HORRIBLE experience. They should be sued for the way they treated my mom. I'm still contemplating whether to report them to the state unfortunately. Choose ANOTHER COMMUNITY!

Overall Recommend this Memory Care Community

I believe a process change needs to take place for every new resident to the Community. I can only speak for Garner location as that is where my loved one was. Change I suggest is: Every new Memory Care resident needs to be assigned a staff member for day and night to be with that resident all the time for at least a week. I recommend this process change so the Dementia resident gets more familiar with the community and the staff. Dementia residents new to community don’t understand when staff says stay here I w

Welcoming and friendly staff

Staff members are very welcoming and friendly. Look out for the residents. Room size is adequate for a single person and bed. It would be better if a double bed could be accommodated but right now a twin bed works. Meals are ok just need more selection for breakfast.

Kind and communicative. Lots of patience

I think this memory care facility realize the true behaviors of patients. Unlike the last one I had mom with. I like them and would highly recommend this facility. The staff is great with all the patients whatever their behavior is.
