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.

Its not a place for Everyone. Assisted living its 24 hrs its when they can come in

Didn't like them at all. It was very hard my client that needed care n not just like 5 mins to come in and out. They left the room with everything on the floor. If you call I can explain more. But no I wouldn't tell anyone to go there to live. My client passed 5 days after being there. She didn't like it at all. I just truly wish I never took her over there. She was happy at the Talbot on Granby but money was the only reason on moving. Front staff was okay and others weren't. She was Dairy free & Gluten free and very hard not to eat the same thing . She was very unhappy.

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 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.

Our family's experience

There is not enough staff and they have forgotten to come in the morning at least 8 times to get mom for breakfast. They leave her downstairs after a meal for hours before someone comes to push her back to her room. The apartment size is ok. She can wait for hours after pushing the button for help. She is moving out at the end of the month.

I would definitely recommend The Gardens

It's a nice place. I do wish some of the staff would smile and engage with visitors/clients more. The food is ok- would like more choices. Room size is good. Amenities: rides to Dr/shopping outings. Daily activities (at least 3-4 things a day), all utilities & cable tv included, laundry and room cleaning. All meals and snacks/drinks.

My brother and Dad attended a tour of Gardens of Virginia Beach on [removed date]. They shared the experience with me. [removed name] showed the facility and the resident rooms. The rooms were spacious and clean. The veteran discount of [removed rate]is very appreciated. There seemed to many amenities and the atmosphere of the GVB was happy and bright. Overall, it was a good experience and the room rental cost is within our price point.
