Above and beyond

Setting up a tour and a meeting to ask questions is a good starting place. We found the entire staff to be helpful and kind, they bent over backwards to meet needs. They helped my Dad feel safe and cared for, while also being supportive of his needs.

The Gardens of Cherokee review

Overall experience - outstanding and everything else from the cleanliness, the staff, the quality of care, meals, activities and value for cost has been superb. My brother has moved from the Gardens this month. If it was not for the care that his [name removed] did for him and the care of the staff at the Gardens [name removed] would not have been able to move out on his own. He is the happiest he has ever been in his life first many many years. My brother [name removed] absolutely loved living at the gardens and
