Assisted Living Reviews for Pennington Gardens

September 24, 2020

By Nancy

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Pennington Gardens Assisted Living & Memory Care is a very nice, clean facility. Instead of a la carte they offer different levels of care, which makes it more affordable, and actually budgetable compared to other facilities who nickel and dime you for different things. My parents moved in there. They have very limited activities right now due to COVID, and they just opened up dining. The staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable.

Provider Response

Thank you, Nancy, for your kind words! We really appreciate you taking the time to share them with us. It brings such joy knowing you have had a positive experience at Pennington. We are excited to have your parents join our family and we look forward to many happy days ahead.

My mother-in-law moved to Pennington Gardens. Her room is just the right size for her. They have several activities like Bingo and music. The staff was great, really nice, and helpful. I've eaten there once, and it was good.

Provider Response

Sharon, thank you for choosing Pennington Gardens as a place for your mother-in-law and writing a review. We are encouraged to read that she is active in the community and that the food is good. I will share your compliments with our great, really nice, and helpful staff. If we can be of any more assistance, please let us know. - Sincerely, the team at Pennington Gardens

My relative has lived here for 4 years. She lived in other assisted living facilities, but the food or care was always lacking. This place is heaven on earth. The staff is attentive, turn-over is very low and the management is responsive and extremely competent. The owners are very sensitive to residents needs and the facility is well maintained. There are abundant activities, a movie theater easy and secure access for after hours visits. Most of all they CARE. The last place she lived in, which was in Tempe, had horrible food and the care was extremely sub-par. This place has a trained chef on staff. Can't say enough. Have recommended this place to 3 people who put there name on a waiting list. The room layouts are fine. What you want is excellent care by staff who care...

Provider Response

Brando4, thank you for the remarkable review and recommending Pennington Gardens. I will share with our teams your attentive, responsive, and competent compliments. The movie theatre is a fun attraction, and our residents tend to gravitate to the common space. The Culinary Director will enjoy reading heaven on earth dining services comments. If we can be of any more assistance, please let us know. - Sincerely, the team at Pennington Gardens

I visited this facility

I really didn't like Pennington Gardens. I really thought that their website was deceptive. Looking on the website at the floor plans, it looked like they had cute little apartments. But they were hospital rooms, basically, with a partition in the middle. I thought online seemed much nicer than it really was. I'd say that you'd definitely need to go and look there in person. Don't go by the website, because if you look at the floor plans on the website, you think what you're going to get is totally different because it's more of a nursing home. I would not call what they call their independent living apartment. It was just like one room with a bathroom, and they put a little refrigerator and sink in the room, and in the middle it had this awkward partition. If you look on their website, it looks like it's an apartment with a living room and bedroom. It's not. They were nice, but I couldn't help but notice that there was a woman sitting in the lobby who definitely needed her diaper changed. They were polite, but I just really felt like I didn't trust things there. I think they should be more honest on their website about how the apartments are, instead of showing a floor plan that looks like it's really an apartment. I think they should show actual photographs of what they actually provide.

Provider Response

Thank you for touring and writing a review of Pennington Gardens. I agree that visiting is the best way to learn about the community. Until you roam the spacious hallways, see the view from second-floor veranda, or walk the hacienda-style courtyards, the website photos will never do. We hope you found the perfect place for your loved one. If we can be of any more assistance, please let us know. - Sincerely, the team at Pennington Gardens

We visited Pennington and we didn't care for it very much. The rooms were too small. They weren't set up the way we like it to be done. The rooms that were shown were not suitable for us. They were not able not show the other part of the building because they only showed us the place for long term insurance.

Provider Response

Thank you for touring and writing a review of Pennington Gardens. I am sorry you could not visit the entire community. We hope you found the perfect place for your loved one. If we can be of any more assistance, please let us know. - Sincerely, the team at Pennington Gardens

I visited this facility

We chose this facility for my mother because my mother's not ready to go into dementia care but she's starting to show signs. This facility is the best in making sure she remembers to do things. They bring her down to social events and it's a lot more like care giving even on a level one. The staff is incredible. Food is good, it's not the best or the worst I've seen. The rooms are very nice and they keep them tidy. They had activities from card games, bingos to exercises. They can improve on their time eating dinner, four o'clock is too early to eat dinner.

Provider Response

Thank you for writing a review and choosing Pennington Gardens for your mother. I will share your compliments with our incredible teams. All of our residents enjoy the activity schedule as it incorporates several varied activities, and we appreciate that you mentioned a few. If we can be of any more assistance, please let us know. - Sincerely, the team at Pennington Gardens

They do 2 levels of care, They transport to appointments and outings. They have an activity director. They have lots of indoor activities as bingo.cards, exercises, current events, movies, sing-a-longs, parties, birthdays and outside entertainment.They go shopping twice a week and outings to museums, movies, and other events. This is a nice well maintained facility. The staff is caring and residents clean and well cared for. They have lots of activities for residents. The only draw back i can see is that if a resident becomes to degenerated, they cannot stay there or move within the facility.

My mom lives in this facility, and we've been very impressed with the care she's been receiving. The staff is friendly, his daily needs are met in a timely and high-quality manner, and Mom seems happy to be there. The staff alertes us to health concerns promptly. We feel confident that we've chosen the right home for Mom and would recommend this facility to other families."

I found this facillity online looking for Adult Day care for my mother in law with Alzeheimers. She loves it and it's easy for me. A little on the high end of our budget.

Provider Response
