Pros and cons

Overall, the administrative staff and nursing care team stand out positively and have been responsive and caring. I do not have any specific feedback regarding the therapy staff at this time. I would like to share a few areas that need improvement: Room cleanliness requires greater attention and consistency. I am uncertain whether weekly laundering of bed sheets and towels is being completed when those items are not placed in the hamper. Since I am not present daily and my mother does not remember, it is difficult to verify. I met a very kind staff member who appears to advocate for improvements on behalf of residents. I appreciate her efforts, although I understand certain restrictions may limit what can be accomplished. I will continue to follow up on this matter. The food and menu need significant improvement. The use of high-salt and high-fat foods can negatively impact the health of residents, many of whom are taking medications and have dietary restrictions. I have specifically requested that my mother not be given juice, yet I have observed her being served and drinking juice afterward. The approach of allowing residents to request items without considering family instructions or dietary concerns is troubling and should be reviewed more carefully.

A Sterling Senior Community in the heart of Glendale.

Likes: Friendliness, activities, cleanliness and overall concern for residents. Least like: food (it's better - but not quite there yet) What stood out for us about Ararat Gardens over other places was their concern for any COVID outbreak last year if any - they made sure visitors wear a mask and they had self testing at the entrance. Also, all visitors - all times - sign in at entrance at kiosk - a number of facilities we visited didn't do this.

Great Community with a lot of heart!

I recently moved my mom into this community based on a recommendation from a skilled nursing. My family is so happy with our choice. The staff is wonderful! They really care for my mom like she is family. My mom loves the food and the activities are engaging and fun. The community is clean and smells wonderful. I can’t say enough about [name removed], he made our transition wonderful and easy. If you want a community that reminds you of a home and not a facility, move your loved one here.

Best in Class

We were recently looking for an assisted living community for our Dad and thankfully found Ararat Gardens. Dad didn’t want to move out of his home and many other communities in the area fell short of what our family was looking for. This process was new to our family and we were all having a hard time with this change. We met with [name removed] and he helped us so much. He was informative, compassionate, helpful, honest and transparent. He made dad, and all of us, feel at ease and supported. He helped make the process so simple. We moved dad in a few months ago and it has been the best thing we could have done. Dad has found new friends and seems happier than he has been in a long time. He is getting the care he was lacking at home and seems like he has found a new sense of purpose. We are so grateful for [name removed] , the care staff and this community as a whole.

I visit this location to see my best friend's mother about once a week. Every time I visit everyone is extremely friendly and there are two residents that are always sitting the the lobby greeting everyone and have the best smiles. They make my day every time.

I toured this facility last month because my father was in the hospital, and he was needing a place with rehabilitation and a long term option after rehab. If my sister didn’t decide to move in with him and take care of him, he would have moved into this facility. Everyone I met was really friendly and was able to meet a couple residents who welcomed my daughter and I to lunch while we were there. I would recommend anyone looking for a facility to move here. Once my sister decides she can’t take care of my father anymore, he will join Ararat Gardens of Glendale.

I am a resident at Ararat Gardens

I am a current resident at Ararat Gardens. One thing I really enjoy about Ararat is the seating arrangement for meals because you get to meet someone new every day. Also, it helps people not stick to one group day after day. There is some opportunity with menu options for meals. I really enjoy the activities, even though I don't always participate I like having the option. There is always something going on throughout the day.

Absolutely would not recommend!

This place was wonderful when it was still [removed], since this new company, Ararat Gardens took over it's just terrible. The food served is just unfortunate. It's not a sanitary place as we can tell from almost daily findings of hair or insects in the food. The workers are nice, but that's just not good enough. Would not recommend this place.

An oasis of tranquility in the heart of Los Angeles

I am super impressed. I haven't been to see my aunt since the late spring, so I'm not sure about further transitions with the Ararat people, but everyone I met when I was there the last time were the same line staff. Everyone is very friendly to me, they use correct health protocols, and it is a wonderful place for my aunt to live. I did a lot of investigation prior, and I think that is good value for money.

Our family's experience

What we really like about Ararat Gardens is that the staff are very friendly, competent and it is a very caring Senior Community. We also really like the individual health monitoring (life alert system). Based on our experience so far we would recommend this community to other families.

[name removed] greeted me for my appointment. I liked the entrance that was very cheerful and bright. The coffee /Tea station was inviting. Truly liked the garden in the middle and went through couple of independent living section which was very new and bright. Spoke with couple of residence, who were happy to be there. Visited assisted living wing as well the carpet in the hallway needs a new facelift but still very clean. My mother in law has not decided for her procedure, she is scheduled for a second opinion if she decides on it then I will certainly reach out to you community office again.

The absolute worst place for care

When this was run by Human Good this was a great place. Now that Ararat Homes took over it's deplorable. The food is not edible. The kitchen was closed due to rodent infestation. They served tuna fish sandwiches for Easter Dinner. There is no working HVAC system in the health care center. PLEASE DON'T SEND YOUR FAMILY MEMBER THERE!

A Very Caring Community

My loved one enjoys the activities and there is always something going on. The staff work hard to make sure she is included. She walks and is able to get exercise and be monitored by the staff. My loved one feel safe and secure in the area this is located to be able to go walk. She really likes the food. They provided her a temporary guest suite as she was transitioning to get her belongings to her place into her actual apartment. They didn't push it, or pressure her to rush the move. They knew it was a huge change for our loved one and we appreciate how they took that delicately. They are very caring. The place isn't separated, so my loved one can go visit assisted living residents as well. It's a very open concept. You can see what you are spending is being put back into the community and its residents.
