Westgate Gardens Care Center

I visited this facility

This facility was abuzz with activity from families visiting (it was a Sunday) . They had a Xmas concert going in the dining room. They have about 140 beds spaced out in different sections. As I walked around looking for staff to give me a tour I came upon the spouse of a resident so I thought I’d get her perspective. She gave me a glowing review of the facility as we walked about. Her husband suffers from dementia and she waited a long time to place him. At first she spend 12 hours sitting with him, afraid he’d be mistreated, but now she’s very comfortable. “Sometimes you’ll get an impatient nurse, but that’s to be expected” she said. She said the staff is very helpful, they’ll move furniture for you or clean something if you ask. Her husband is on a liquid diet, but the food is nutritious. The only downside to the facility is that parking was limited with all of the Sunday visitors.
