My stay from January 2024 through May 2024

It's been a year since I was a resident there and I understand things have gotten better. When I was there construction needed to be done due to a major flood so the activities were very limited and I understand that has been taken care of. My biggest complaint was the food. I do not know if that's gotten any better. The unit I was staying in was quite nice. It had a full kitchen

Looking elsewhere

We were happy with Garden Plaza at first. The workers are great but the management company is poor. The facility had water issues in January and the place is still torn up. A normal business would have completed the work long ago. To add to the insult, they are raising the rent at the same time that many of the services are not available due to construction. We are looking to move our parents out of Garden Plaza into a place with better management.

Garden Plaza has been a great fit for my Mom!

As time goes by we are more and more happy with Garden Plaza. The majority of the staff is very experienced with the needs of the residents. The complex is laid out with a simple floor plan, wide halls, hand rails in the halls. Nice usable balcony's. Good kitchen size.

Our Experience

For the most part, we have found the staff to be likable and helpful. There were some items in the sales pitch that were misleading. For example, my mother doesn't 'check in' every morning by a certain time, and there is no follow-up to make sure she's okay. It was advertised to us that the facility provided cable TV, but the cable TV quality is very limited and poor. Radio reception in the room is poor and the shower head in the shower is difficult and awkward for an older person. We were also told that for the fi

Hoping for improvement

The site has had major flooding and mold issues and extremely slow to respond and resolve the issue and many of the collaboration spaces have been compromised and no longer available for use. The food has dramatically gone down hill since we joined and it's under new management. The people who work there are great
