When my mom & stepdad began searching for assisted living, they heard good things about Garden Estates of Temple from friends who had relatives in this facility. So they toured it, and later brought some of us kids to see it as well. We were impressed with what we saw and heard, so our parents got on the waiting list. They have lived here in assisted living for over a year now. They enjoy the three meals a day, weekly housekeeping and other amenities of assisted living. It is close to their former neighborhood so friends can still visit them, and it's close to the hospitals that they have gone to for years. They have made friends here, and it's a cheerful place for relatives and friends to visit. The staff is wonderful, and each takes their job seriously. They leave no doubt in my mind that my parents and all the residents are given the best of care. The nurses and aides are caring, the dining room staff and chef are top-notch, housekeeping and maintenance do a super job, and the adminstrative staff are always ready to answer questions and help in any way. I would recommend Garden Estates of Temple to anyone needing assisted living. It is a warm, cheerful place.

We have been very pleased with Garden Estates, and I am very glad that my mother is there. The environment is clean, up-to-date, and elegant yet still remains warm and inviting. The overall atmosphere is warm and friendly. Everyone, both staff and residents, are friendly, helpful, and nice. The food is great; we have eaten there with my mother on several occasions. My mother is becoming more active and social every day and looks healthier after only one month. The price is comparable to other retirement/assisted living homes in the area. The most important element for me, however, is that all of the residents appear to be happy.

I was most impressed with the connection to Garden Estates. It was recommended by "A Place for Mom" and by a personal friend. I met first with Judy. She showed me around and explained the services provided. She was most informative and personable. We set up an appointment to bring my mother. The visitation with my mother was "Just Lunch." She got to eat lunch and have a tour of the facility. After my mother decided that this was for her, we scheduled another appointment to work out particulars.

One of the reasons this community was chosen is she had a friend that stayed here and recommended it. The setting is really beautiful and it’s in a very prestigious area (South Shore). They offer plenty of activities to keep someone busy.

They offer a lot to residents. The price is reasonable. The food is not the greatest taste wise. They also don't have an option for residents to get food any time. The bus schedule is great but I've had to drive Grandma to appts because they won't go early (like 8am) or make multiple trips in a day. it's given my loved one friends and an independence with safe boundaries.

Med staff is proactive and communicative with families, ensuring residents get their medical needs satisfied. Staff is friendly and helpful.

The location of Garden Estates is wonderful. Close to shopping, Doctor offices and hospital. I love the location. Paying $[removed]. Rent Laundry has only one working washing machine to share between entire first floor. Laundry room filthy. Scraped up floor. One Stained chair to sit on. Walls covered in deep lint. Several light bulbs burned out. Back door entranced. Beat-up doors. Old paint hit and miss. Carpet stained. Back door as a first impression is very depressing and embarrassing. Management does not use the back door or the laundry room. Also management does not eat the food served to residents. Food is sometimes above average but the majority of the time it is too tough to bite or cut up with the butter knife provided. I don't blame the cooks or the other kitchen staff. They cannot serve better food if only low quality food is provided. Kitchen staff has frequent turnover due to being understaffed and dealing with upset residents who are upset and complaining about the food. Again... they cannot serve better food if only low quality food is provided. Roach and ants reoccurrence. Treatment very temporary. Empty food containers are left open in the hall. Pet food is left on the floors inside rooms. My apartment has offensive smell. I use glade plugins to overwhelm smell but rain amplify smell and no amount of air fresheners help. Smells like cat urine.

Very friendly, nice place, love the all inclusive pricing, surrounded or safe inclusive outdoor courtyard. On another note, we have experienced that communication between the staff (in whole) isn't very good or informed. For example, it was going to get below 20* three days in a row. After those days, on the warmest day (over 32*, they put a message in the residents boxes, saying, it will be cold, stock up on supplies, leave water dripping and cabinet doors open to try and prevent pipes busting. Well, they were supposed to have put it out prior, but they never happened. But, we have had several different instances where on person days something or you call to ask a question and others (front desk) are clueless or don't know anything about it.

We chose Regal Estates of League City because of their kindness during a difficult time. They even helped after hours with advice. The staff have all been so helpful and caring.

You must be able to transfer yourself to stay there. They charge extra if you want to eat in your room. She didn't like the food much. Location and price are great!

They are very good and caring to my mom. They handle things without calling me unnecessarily. But also they struggle keeping ample staff sometimes. (I know that's a problem everywhere) We picked them because it was one set price. No add on's. Location, ad it was a smaller community.

They are working on keeping things moving smoothly hard to keep employees. Yes I would recommend this community to other families. Overall we love them and the staff love and care for my parents well we are blessed

They made Mom feel at home! We picked this community because it is small & close to me

Overall experience-4. it was clean, the people were kind and mom felt loved and cared for, but the food was not great. Friendliness of staff 5. There was a fair bit of turnover and ownership changes, but each time the people were great. Quality of care 5. They loved mom and she felt well looked after. Meals. 2-3. Started out at two. Then the company changed hands and the food improved a great deal. Nonetheless, it wasn't so great. Sometimes they would run out of things. Some of the quality was mediocre. Activities. Mom didn't care about any of those so I really can't say. She wasn't really engaging in that sort of thing at that time. Unless you like bingo, the options were limited . Value for cost 5. They weren't the cheapest and they weren't the most expensive. If we had paid more, we might've had better food. The cost was definitely fair and we got good care. I visited places that cost the same or more that were much less desirable. One of the real pluses about Greatwood was the size of the rooms for the cost. Mom got two good sized rooms with a small kitchen wall. The floor plan was open and had enough room for a small table plus a desk in addition to the living room. This way she could keep a lot of her furniture and it felt more like her house. The bathroom was spacious and clean. She had two decent sized closets.

Mom is enjoying her apartment there and is involved in some of their activities. We picked this community because mom is close to both my brother, niece and myself.

Comment on activities: is like so many other facilities that have a high level of attrition with activities director. We do like the director is a good, Christian man. They also do have several biblical activities. One last good information for this is they are the only facility (assisted living) in Washington county.

We like the smaller community. Mother doesn't participate in activities but they always have something going on in the common area. Parking can be an issue. Definitely not enough parking spaces.

I like the ability to setup a shop in my room. Some of the food doesn't taste good. Based on the experience I have had so far, I would recommend Regal Estates of League City to other families.

I am currently a resident at Garden Estates of Tyler and overall the experience at this facility has been good for me, so far. The cleanliness and care services are great. The staff are more than great, as are the activities. The food could definitely use some help. Garden Estates of Tyler is a good value for the money. I am very glad that I moved here.

It is a friendly and caring environment which is what we really liked best. The meals have been an issue in terms of the menu, taste and sometimes they are served cold. It is a difficult business to provide value for cost because the cost is so high. Because of the staff, we would recommend Arbor Terrace East Cobb to other families.
