Charming place

Charming place. Good food choices. Menu changes daily. Small portions but just enough. If you are hungry ask for more. Good mix of couples as well as single folk. Lots of men , more than normally find. Everyone friendly. Not very conducive to group activities. Exercise room severely lacking. Great puzzles & library if that's your thing. Needs complete updating of apartments. Feels like a hunting lodge

Garden Plaza

Garden Plaza staff are all professional and very knowledgeable and friendly. I was helping my mother to find an independent senior living community, I previewed several places on her behalf, Garden Plaza easily made the top 3 list. My mother visited the 3 different places and Garden Plaza was immediately her top choice. She is very happy with her apartment, food, staff, activities and has made new friends among the residents.

Overall experience was awesome even though we were only there for 4 days. We hope to get my mother strong enough to go back. 2-7. Excellent

Not a standard independent living institution

Looks like a mountain lodge. Lots of couples and wide range of ages. Many people well into nineties and doing quite well. People are very friendly, not cliquish. Food is excellent. Wide variety. Daily salad bar. Always has an extra meal selection. It’s an older place that they are slowly modernizing. Staff is great. Has assisted living facilities as well.

Good value

Staff at Garden Plaza of Valley View are great listeners who do a good job of accommodating resident needs. The apartment sizes here are ok, not generous.

Review for Garden Plaza of Valley View

A truly caring and home like community. The staff are patient and knowledgeable and know how best to deal with mom's memory and cognition issues. We picked this location because of the location, thoughtful layout, and the presence of therapy in the location. We also got a lot of positive feedback from those in the elder care community.
