You could not find a more helpful staff. I was apprehensive about moving here. But they have made it so easy. The meals are good. Especially the breakfast. It starts my day on a good note! I enjoy our Bingo games and other activities. I hate that I can’t live alone anymore but this is the place to be.

After having the oversight and care for my 93-year-old mother for eight years, her health needs became greater than what I alone could manage. My brother and his dear wife researched tirelessly facilities and we chose the Gardens of Pelham after an exhausting review Of assisted living facilities available to us. My dear mother has been a resident here for a little over two years and the love and support from Mary N. And the quality of care that she has received at the Gardens is second to none! Mary’s attention to detail, willingness to communicate effectively with family members, the love and best interest that she shows for all of her patients as well as her administrative expertise has offered my heart much comfort in knowing how very much my mother is loved and cared for being that I am unable to assume this role any longer. The tenderness of the staff going above and beyond what is required of them to make each resident feel special and cared for in this environment has been great peace to my heart. Thank you all for the genuineness and heartfelt love that you have shown for my mother at the Gardens. I can hear the contentment in her voice as we talk and share stories of how lovingly she is cared for. Thank you, Mary and your staff for who you are and the integrity of this facility has demonstrated towards our precious elderly parents. We love you and appreciate you more than you could possibly Know! Thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

My Mom has been at The Gardens of Pelham for almost 3 years now and it has been wonderful for us. The staff is amazing and the communication with us is exceptional. Mom loves it and is thriving. It feels like family there. I can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special place for their loved one.

My mom lived at the Gardens for 6 years. With only 16 residents it feels like family. The residents have lots of activities like bingo, exercise and parties. The Pelham community is very supportive with many official visits. I cannot say enough for the caring and kind staff. Never a problem. It is a clean and attractive facility.

A very “home” like residence where each resident is treated like family. Very caring and professional staff members who lovingly care for the residents.
They are provided with games, books, crafts and many other fun activities. Holidays are celebrated (national pie day, etc.) and fun snacks like watermelon, Ice cream, cookies are provided.
A great facility! I highly recommend it.

My mom is a resident at Gardens of Pelham. What a great place! The staff takes good care of her by providing her meds, great meals, fun activities, exercise and good company. Mom's room is a studio and just the right size for her. She has made it her home. The staff is always so polite and helpful when I have visited in the past and now helpful in getting thing to my mom when I can't see her because of the Covid-19 situation. If you want a nice place for an aging parent that is like home....this is the place!

I looked at the Gardens of Pelham and I liked it. It seemed to offer a lot of things I was looking for, and it seemed like the staff was nice when I talked to them. They introduced me to some of the employees that were working, took me on a nice tour, and showed me the rooms. It was laid out like an apartment, with individual rooms. The rooms were nice, with a closet, bathroom, and bedroom. The dining room was nice, large, and setup for everybody to eat at one time. They take them out, they have things coming into the facility, and they have activities inside. They have a schedule of things, and they have interesting things going on.
Provider Response

Gardens of Pelham has been great. They're very caring and loving people. It's a small place, only 16 residents, and it's a real family with a family feeling. The staff assists us with anything and everything we need. They're just fantastic. My mom has a standard room with a standard bath and we put our own furniture in there. It's very comfortable and they do a good job in keeping an eye on her. The place is pretty, and there's a front porch where they sit during the day, and a large back porch in the shade, which is nice because it's in a private area. Mary, the manager, is fantastic and wonderful. They have ice cream socials and people who come in to do different programs for them. There's something almost every day. The food is excellent and they serve them, so it's a real family atmosphere. It's well-organized and well laid out.

Quality of care here has been great! I have lived here almost 2 1/2 years and have come to feel like this is home. Our administrator and her assistant are really amazing. They will go out to the end of the limb to assist us with any problem we have. The RA's are so good to us. Making sure we are comfortable and always give us our meds as ordered. Any request we have they try to fill it. My family is also satisfied with my care.

My mother in law is in Gardens of Pelham. The staff is great and they really take care of all her needs. I had dinner there one time. The food and dining set up is good. Her apartment is really nice. They have activities and recreations. They play bingo, cards and have different organizations there. We really had a good experience.

Gardens of Pelham is small, has 16 beds, and not real fancy. My mother is not real fancy, so it fits her perfectly. It's a very close knit group of staff along with the residents. It's like a home setting. It's like her second family, and she really enjoys it. We wish it had a little bit more activities and they are working on doing that. A lot of the residents don't want to do the activities, usually just my Mom and two or three others and that's it. I'm happy with it. I also wish they do some outings. They've only done a couple and my mother has been there for 2-1/2 years. The staff turnover rate is a little bit more than what I would like. Other than that, they are very sweet and always good to my mother. They put a menu of what they're having for each meal and if the resident does not like what they're having, there are other options like soup and sandwich or chicken fingers or salad, and they go around and ask each resident. They're very accommodating on that. They serve it to them, but they bring their plates out. I wish the staff turnover was not as quick and I wish they did more activities, but everything else is good. The staff workers are all very caring and do the best they can. We went to other places, and this is a little bit cheaper.

Very good food. I don't like fried food, so the cook bakes or grills for me. We also have activities like bingo, dominoes, rook, and crafts like making decorations for the tables according to the holiday.
