A great place for loved ones.

I have been very pleased with the care and compassion shown at Pennington Gardens. The staff is incredibly kind, patient, and understanding, especially when it comes to residents dealing with dementia-related challenges. While I wish my mom participated more in the many activities offered, I truly appreciate how encouraging and supportive the staff continues to be without making residents feel pressured. She is comfortable, well cared for, and enjoys coming out for meals each day. I would absolutely recommend Penni…

Nice Community

The staff has been helpful letting us know how mom was adjusting, and in the beginning, ut was very difficult. It took about 6 weeks for her to settle in and realize that Pennington Gardens was her new home. The food is mostly good. I think they have too much fried chicken and fish on the menu. Fried food isn't good for anyone. It seems like an easy way to provide a meal, but not provide the best nutrition. The activities director and staff are great as far as providing a variety of things to do. I wish they woul…

Great place

I moved my mom into Pennington gardens a little more than a year ago and she loves the community. I come to the community when I’m in town and always eat with mom and the food is great. I saw on facebook today the community posted pictures of the 4th of July celebration, it looked like everyone had a great time. I have recommended Pennington gardens to friends in Phoenix that are looking for an assisted living. If you’re considering it, you’ll love it.

Review for Pennington Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care

1. Unlike other communities, the food and drink options at Pennington Gardens are very diverse and tasty. 2. The holiday luncheons are festive and inviting. 3. Unlike other communities, Pennington Gardens is small enough that transportation to doctor appointments are always available. There's no competition for ride spots. 4. While the carpet on the downstairs hallways is a little dated, the apartments are very nice, and the two bedroom apartment is plenty spacious. 5. Pets are allowed, welcomed and loved by al…

Pennington Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care review

$[fee removed] per month for memory care. Not sure if that's a good value or not. Seemed high to us. I personally liked the assisted living side more than the memory care side. Other than that -- I don't have much to add. Hospice provided much of the care and updates not Pennington, so interaction was minimal.

Pennington Gardens - Hidden Gem!!

My mother in law has been to 5 assisted living communities and this one so far has been her and our favorite. [name removed] who we met with answered all of our questions and assisted with everything from hospice to the right room for mom and making sure it was tip top ready for her. PG is homey and charming inside and even smells good. They bake Otis Spunkmyer cookies for their residents every day, host fun activities, mom loves the food and the open airy high ceiling dining room. Her bathroom is spacious which wa…
