Garden Way is much better than where my parents were. We have limited access because of the virus, but my parents seem happy. The living quarters are a little bit smaller than the apartment they had at another facility, but they seem more comfortable at Garden Way. They can make more choices for themselves, even during this pandemic. They feel like they're treated with respect and more like adults than children. A lot of the amenities are shut down because of the pandemic. They think the breakfast is very good. They're not as enamored of the dinner, but they are also thinking that food is probably a little bit different during the pandemic. They don't have salad bars and fresh selections right now. They're hoping it will improve when the vaccine becomes available and we all get back to a little more normal life. When my parents moved there, a couple more residents from where they were also chose to go there. I was really impressed with how Garden Way handled their interview and the accommodations they made for them to move during this pandemic. They were really professional and very helpful. They have a spacious living room and a large master bedroom, but a really tiny second bedroom and less storage options. Two of us can now and visit at a time. My husband and I, or my brother and I can go together, but we can't eat in the dining room. The staff was very helpful when I was helping my parents move. It's outrageously expensive. It's just nice to know they're safe.

My sister-in-law moved into Garden Way, and so far, so good. Everything is good, except for the COVID-19, because everything is not fully accessible, but it's a good place though, and we like it. The food is OK, not bad, the food is very good. I've met a few of the staff. They're all very nice, very helpful, and very professional.

I was at Garden Way for lunch, but the food was not good; it was just macaroni and ham. They have amenities like a workout room, Coca Cola room, a coffee place, and different areas. They are very nice, but the people there don't seem happy, and they weren't engaging. Their Coca Cola room is like a vintage soda shop; it's a 50's kind of place. I am considering them because the room I wanted was a little bigger for a little less, and it has really good light, which I need for my fiber art.

I only visited Waterford Grand and we picked that one. The rooms were small but a perfect size. The staff was wonderful, everybody was very happy, smiling, and very accommodating. They have games, card games, Mexican train games, they have a pool, and they take them places to go shopping. They do their nails and they have a beauty salon.

We visited Churchill and are on their waiting list. It was clean, friendly, and welcoming. I was impressed. I thought it was a good place. The staff was very helpful, informative, and compassionate. The dining area looked fine, but we did not eat there. They had a beauty shop, and can transfer people to their appointments. They served meals in the room or helped people get down to eat. It seemed pretty comprehensive.

I thought Brookdale Eugene Alpine Court was a very good place, but it wouldn't save me anything. I thought it was a very well organized and clean place. I saw the patients sitting on tables, or talking to one another, and a few were in wheelchairs. The rooms were very nice, and when you look out you see the lawn, bushes, and so on. It has a pleasant atmosphere, and they were very helpful. They also have activities for the residents every day, they have a bus, and they take them on trips out to the country side. The staff members that I talked to were very nice.

We chose Garden Way. It just felt comfortable there. We liked the amenities and the apartment. We're going to get a bright and sunny 2-bedroom, 2-bath, and it would probably accommodate most of our things. The place is very comfortable, cozy, and the people are always very friendly there. The food was very good and we really enjoyed it. They have an exercise program, trips, and card rooms. They also have pool tables, and all kinds of things going on. The staff is very nice and helpful. The apartments are very nice and not gloomy. We certainly liked them. The facility is very up to date, modern, clean, and very nice-looking.

Eve

Garden Way is very nice and the staff overall is excellent. The concierge is also excellent because when I informed her I was looking, she called me immediately and bought me cookies and banana bread. The apartments were nice, but they have no outside doors, and they have full kitchens even though they provide three meals a day. They were having a buffet during Memorial Day. I noted that the waitresses had little pads in their pockets so they could take your order. It's a newer place and the most modern among the places I have visited.

My husband was placed at Waterford Grand. I was impressed and continue to be impressed by them. I like the staff. The facilities are modern, very well maintained and well placed. It's an area that's very attractive to my husband because he was always interested in fishing, and it's right near the water. He's a very picky eater but for the most part I've seen he's satisfied with what he is being served. He is in memory care. I love their activity director. She's taken a very personal concern in my husband and encourages him to take part in things that he is capable of doing. Of those I visited, this was the best. I'm impressed with the activity director, the nurses, and the ratio to patients. My only hang-up is they accept private pay only, but so far I've been able to handle it because we have insurance, and they're trying to help us with that.
