Helpful caring staff

It is Super clean with Very friendly staff. The Apartments are nice. The right size. Meals are exceptional. The lady who does activities is wonderful. Mom was not wanting to give up her independence of living at home but had settled in quite nicely. Perfect size for mom for her independence but still have her own space.

Nice facility

They are extremely nice to me. My mother says they don't care about her-don't look at her. But they are wonderful from my experience. The facility is always very clean and smells nice.

Garden Place Columbia review

The best thing about it is the care staff. They are exceptional, I couldn't ask for more. It's a sweet place with really good people. It's not showy, no big pools or fancy happy hours, but you can tell they care. The food is very good at times, other times not so much. They could stand a little more flexibility in dining. The activities could be a little more inspired. They are a small town place so maybe it's hard to shake things up, but more variety would be nice. Overall it's a wonderful place.
