I would give 5 stars but nothing is perfect! I was greatly impressed with the facility and with the staff! Very clean and well maintained facilities, and lots to do in the building. The options and pricing were very clear. Only one critique--several people waited 20+ minutes at the front desk for help. While many workers walked by, we were never acknowledged. Even after the tour, 20+ minutes later, there was no one at the front desk.

Comfortable living with nice gardens to walk or sit.

What's the biggest advantage of Madonna Gardens memory care is that is all on one level and the rooms are studio. A one bedroom apartment would be too much for someone to navigate and get lost in. Madonna Gardens is shorthanded on caregivers at present.

Madonna Gardens was essential in the transition from home to memory care for my wife and me

Madonna Gardens was like a second home for my wife. She always said she loved it there. Everyone is so loving and caring . Everyone went out of their way to make sure she was happy in her journey.

Our family's experience

they don't have a nurse and they need a vehicle. There as been a lot of staff turnover so I don't really know the person in charge. Everyone was very helpful when we were looking to move there

Review for Madonna Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care

The staff, every single one of them, are caring, dedicated, mindful, wonderful individuals. They all know each community member. The facility is kept extremely clean and safe. The food is great. I missed being there after my mom passed.
