Arroyo Gardens was very nice, brand new, quite modern, and very attractive. I saw a 1-bedroom apartment, but it was chopped up with so many walls that I would have preferred a studio. The dining area was light, very airy, and very attractive. The staff member was very nice, very professional, outgoing, and I think they will be easy to deal with. It was a very positive experience. They have a library and a pool, and there seems to be lots of programs going on all the time. When I was there they were very busy.

Arroyo Gardens was very nice, but it was too large and it didn't quite feel as homey. The staff was cordial. They said that if there would be any issues that they couldn't handle, they would send that person to Santa Rita Rehabilitation. I absolutely would not go to that place. The apartments were very nice and brand new. They also had a lot of activities going on, and they had an indoor pool.

My visit to Arroyo Gardens was fine. The apartments were nice. They offer a gym, a small pool, and arts and crafts. The place is clean, neat, and relatively new (about two years old). They offer three meals a day. The staff was very knowledgeable, competent, and friendly, but not too pushy.

I liked Arroyo Gardens. They have a lot of amenities, but my in-laws didn't like it. The room we saw had only one bathroom. They have an indoor and outdoor pool, a dog run area, a service kitchen that the residents are allowed to use if they want to have large family dinners, and they also have private dining rooms. You can start out as independent and you can move up as you need it. It's beautiful, but a little pricey. They have to take their laundry down the hall. The staff was very good for the most part.
Memory Care Reviews for Arroyo Gardens
December 10, 2019
I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
My husband is now at Arroyo Gardens. We have been very pleased with it. My family was here at Thanksgiving and everyone visited. They were all very impressed with the attitude of all the workers and the comfortable and beautiful surroundings of the community. The staff members are very nice, very professional, and very caring. I appreciate their attitude very much. My husband has a private room; everyone has a private room. Arroyo Gardens has an exercise program and a theater. They take residents outdoors. For those who are well enough and able to enjoy activities, they have various programs that residents can participate in with music. I was there one day when a gentleman came in and played his guitar and sang for them, which was very nice. They also take people on outings. My husband isn't well enough to participate, but for those who are able, they have transportation. They have church services and those who are interested can attend. One of their people is designated to care for the medications and to make sure that those are administered to various people. They have a very nice dining room. The food is very nice. It is appropriate for each person. Some are able to handle normal meals and others need to have it pureed given the circumstances, so those needs are catered to. It is a very beautiful facility. It seems to be very secure for a memory unit.
