Great Experience at The Gardens of Virginia Beach

My uncle is taken care of, listened to, and has a great quality of life at The Gardens. He doesn't participate in activities, but I see they have lots of them. All staff have been friendly that I've encountered, and I can tell they care for their residents. The kitchen staff are wonderful as well. The know what he likes, and have always been friendly and attentive.

Highly recommend! You won't be sorry!

I would give y'all a 5 across the board. You were very helpful, and I am doing great here. Everyone was friendly, responses were quick, they were very nice to my representative (,I was in the hospital), I think I heard from every assisted living that belongs to A Place for mom, I decided on The Gardens and have been very happy here for the past 2+ months

This was a virtual tour and I was quite impressed. Wendy was very informative and answered all questions. Every part of the memory care unit was very warm welcoming and pleasant to see. The residents looked happy and I saw a couple of staff that also were very happy. I really like how everything was laid out, very safe for the residents and very appealing. I believe my aunt will be very happy there.

The Gardens of Virginia Beach

The people are nice, the facility is nice, don't write any checks until you are 100% sure your loved one is going to be let in because you will not see a penny of it back if they change their mind.

Even though, was just a little too expensive, based on levels of care , the tour was exceptional. [name removed] was helpful and tried to make it work financially. The facility looked wonderful and residents seemed to be enjoying themselves. When touring the floors, many of the residents had their doors open, making it seem dorm-like. Wish it could have worked for my Dad.
