The Gardens of Sun City

The staff are very caring, the food is very good, the facility is very nice. Mom is doing great there

I love The Gardens of Sun City. I highly recommend it. They have a beauty salon, entertainment, good food service, field trips, a library, and everything that the residents could possibly need. The staff was all-around wonderful, caring, and answered all of our questions.

I did not like The Gardens of Sun City at all. It's not very large, and it seemed crowded and too small. I felt very bunched up, and I had to wait a while before anybody came because they didn't know I was coming even though I had an appointment. I didn't see a whole lot, but it's definitely not someplace I would go. There were people all over, and they were not accommodating. The area was congested, and I did not get a good vibe from it.

I liked the location of The Gardens at Sun City. It was a little bit on the smaller size, and I liked that. I really liked the fact that inside it they had a skilled nursing section or like a rehab. They took their residents off site like a tour in Arizona. Of all the places I saw, they were like the No. 1 or No. 2 of where I wanted to put my mom if she wanted to move. They served 3 meals a day plus snacks. They had like a rec room, and they had a refrigerator and they had food available like yogurt. Sometimes they had ice cream socials and movie nights. They had some doctors that came to the facility to see people, they had a shuttle van, and they allowed 4 visits a month to transport their patients to their doctors. The staff was very informative. They were able to answer every question that I had.

My husband had stayed at The Gardens. The staff there was wonderful. I couldn’t ask for any better. When I walked into the place, there was never a bad odor. They were well taken care of. My husband couldn’t get up and walk anymore. They just made sure that he joined in everything that happened at least one special time.

The tour at The Gardens was excellent, they were well prepared, and they gave a great presentation. It was nice and had everything except that the memory care unit was small; that’s the reason why we didn’t go with that.

My mom is at The Gardens of Sun City. They have activities there. My mom is on the second floor and that’s considered special care. I usually go there about once a week and my mom has been doing OK. The people that are working there are really nice. It is a whole area for those people and each one has their own room. They only use their rooms when they go to sleep at night, but during the day, they’re in the main area, which doesn’t look like a hospital at all. It looks like a hotel. They sit around and talk to each other. The food looks and smells good. Moreover, they wanted to do paperwork for long-term, and I asked if we can just go month by month, and they said it’s OK, so we go month by month.

The Gardens of Sun City have their own units. They have washers and dryers. They can go to the stores because they have transportation. Everything is there. There are a lot of people, so it must be good. The staff was courteous. They’d take you around, and they’re good.
