Spring Gardens Midvale

Beverly

Spring Gardens Midvale is small and intimate. There are only 47 beds in the place, which is very small. Everyone seems to know each other. There are people with walkers and people without. It smelled clean. It was very clean and modern. The staff who gave the tour was very friendly and very well-informed. They also seemed to be kind of flexible. I was looking for respite care, and they had only one room designed for that. But the staff said, 'We could turn this or that room into a respite.' So they seemed quite flexible. The dining area looked intimate, clean, and nice. As I was leaving, somebody's granddaughter said, 'This is a nice place.' And I said, 'Thank you for telling me.' I feel good about my mom being there.

I went to Spring Gardens Midvale. I liked that the rooms had tall ceilings, so they seemed spacious. It's a smaller facility. They only have capacity for 47 residents, and right now there are about 22, so they're only about half full. They recently went through an ownership change about a year ago, so they're trying to do updates and kind of improve the property. But the people that I talked with talked, one of the residents who was eating lunch and he said the food was just fantastic. Being a former chef, he said the food was just really good there. So that was a good comment. However, once you can no longer private pay, they do not accept Medicaid, then you would have to transfer to another facility. The staff was very helpful, very friendly, and very accommodating. I think they had a couple of pieces of exercise equipment. They didn't have a gym. I think they also do some outings with them. They didn't offer as many of the religious services that the other place offered and maybe because they're still kind of small, but it was fairly easy to get to, and it was fairly close to the interstate.

I was very impressed with Spring Gardens Midvale. The rooms were very nice. They had a little kitchenette with a small fridge and a microwave, and a little countertop with a sink. There was a bed, a chair, and a small couch. I liked the way the bathrooms were arranged to the bed. It was easier for the resident to get up and get into the bathroom in the evening than have to go around the room to get to it. It was a small facility with not a lot of residents, which was what I liked about it the most. The furnishings were nice. Lindsey, the tour guide, was fabulous. She gave me a couple of different options that she thought would work for my husband. They had a garden area for them to go out to, and they had an outdoor fireplace. They had a little bistro that they could go to throughout the day for a snack if they wanted one.

Spring Gardens Midvale didn't know that I was coming. Although the front desk was very attentive, she didn't know that there was a tour. There was no management there, no executive staff or anyone to take us. One of the techs gave the tour. So, she took time away from resident care to give me a tour and she didn't know any information about the sizes of the rooms or what rooms were available. The room itself was very nice and very clean, but the size wasn't what we were looking for. The atmosphere was kind of nice, but it kind of smelled too.

My friend is here. It's a beautiful place, it's new, and she loves it. She is also close to her old friends, so she's really happy there. She's been there since February 3, and she's doing really, really well. She has a bedroom, a front room, a little kitchenette, and a beautiful bathroom. They have all kinds of activities during the day, like watching movies, playing bingo, and playing other games. They have church activities, too. She goes down every day to have her breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well. It's a great place.
