All of them are 5. The staff are all wonderful, caring people. They keep the entire complex, very clean and maintained well. The food is really good too. I am so glad this is a place we chose for our mom.
★★★★★
PositiveI toured most all places in town and this was by far the nicest facility. The combination of old world charm and brand new apartments made it rise over even more costly options. I was touring for a family member but if the timing was right I could see myself being very comfortable living here. There is a welcoming warmth to Garden Way that needs to be experienced to understand. Even a shy, scared or withdrawn family member would feel at home here in no time. The staff are professional and very friendly.
