Really Good Choice for My Siblings

I have had both a sister and a brother at Garden Estates. My sister was there for eight years and my brother for only eight months. We were well pleased both times. The administration and staff are exceptionally kind and thoughtful, as well as helpful in all ways possible. My siblings had very different personalities, but both were treated with the utmost respect and kindness.

Definitely Recommended

I would not hesitate to recommend Garden Estates to everyone. It is an exceptional place to live for those who need a little or even a lot of help. They are a wonderful administrative group with whom to work. It is active and social even with people in their 90's as my brother was. It is a good home, and we would go there if our family were closer to Temple. They are very busy with long work hours (engineers and estimators in administrative positions) and beginning to age themselves--and grandkids with little ones
