Sunshine Gardens nightmare

Have a dear friend here since [date removed]. Only sibling she has is a sister POA. Sunshine Gardens says no visitors by the director's orders but never mentioned doctor before. Friend had mild dementia when placed there. I was in hospital with her when sunshine gardens came to pick her up. They stood there while friend screamed at me and shook her finger saying I better meet her there and not lie like everyone else. As her family does not care. Sunshine Gardens said nothing. But when I got there immediately follow

My review of Sunshine Gardens

This was my mother in laws first experience with assisted living. The residents here did seem to be pretty content. It is a smaller facility which is nice but we had to end up moving her because she was needing more help with memory care.

Best Facility In The Area

One of the best facilities in the area. It has the feel of a resort instead of an assisted living facility. The staff is awesome. The food is wonderful. They use fresh food not just heat and serve from a can!

I thought they were absolutely beautiful and we liked it so much! The community is brand new and the decoration is lovely. I like that they had some progressive ideas and are detailed oriented. I also liked their focus and they were adding a memory care unit. We tried a meal and it was excellent, they hired from the local culinary school. I would have loved to place my parents here but the distance was a big factor, it would have been a 30 minutes drive to visit.

We have been very pleased with them.

We have been very pleased with them. The food is really good there. We have eaten there like 3 or 4 times and have enjoyed it every time, it's all home cooked. It's open and airy, with a Florida resort feel, and she really liked that, it's one of the reasons we chose them.
