Assisted Living Reviews for Garrett Woods Senior Living Community

February 07, 2019

By Daughter caring for a special mother

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

As daughter's with a 89 year old mother that requires Assisted Living each day finding a caring place for our mother was our families TOP priority. As we entered the front door to visit Garrett Woods our experience with the facility and staff was outstanding. Instantly my mother and my family felt that we had found a senior living community that felt like "HOME". We moved in a week later and my sister and I could tell that my mother was so happy we could not believe it! She was smiling and eating again and the staff made sure her hydration was on track daily. From homemade pies ( Oh, and they are so good), along with fresh good tasting breakfast, lunches, and dinner with alternate choices if necessary with food allergies. She has now gaining the weight to keep her strong and healthy. Also, she is so busy with planned activities everyday that are designed to fit her skills that when visiting her we can hardly find her in her room but out and about happy and active. Garrett Woods Assisted Living is the REAL DEAL!! With newly updated apartments that are clean, cute, and resident friendly and totally suited to meet her needs it is just truly perfect. All the staff is so polite when addressing my mother calling her by name, making her feel welcome, at home , and most of all respected ! The Administrator, Nursing Staff, CNA's, Housekeeping, Activity Director's, Maintenance, and Food Service Staff all work together to support the needs of the residents and are truly glad that you have chosen Garrett Woods to live. There is no shortage of staffing to meet her needs and no short cuts in any area for assistance. I had heard a comment from management that was so true to a staff member, "you work here for your shift daily and then go to your home, but the residents live here all the time 24/7 and this is their home and we will make sure they are taken care of and safe like family ALL the time".......I loved the comment and it is true. It does not get any better than Garrett Woods believe me. I hope you find this facility as wonderful as I have and make it your new home for your loved family member, best wishes.
Provider Response
Thank you so much for these wonderfully kind comments! It means so much when we have families like this who care for their precious parents in this way. It drives us to work even harder to make sure we fulfill our commitment to our residents. I'll make sure and share these kind thoughts with the entire staff. This is so encouraging.Thank you for loving your mother so much and thank you for taking the time to encourage us.

I moved my mom here after I relocated to Hot Springs about 6 months ago. She came from another Asst. Living facility. Garrett has been great to work with and made the move easy. They worked to get all her paper work transferred, Changing her Doctor, Pharmacy and insurance coverage. The rooms have been recently remodeled and are very clean and comfortable. The maintenance staff was good good about making a couple of changes we needed to make her more comfortable. From Day 1 the staff has made her feel at home. The nursing Staff, the CNA's, Housekeeping, Kitchen Staff and all the others have taken great care of her. The Pride the staff has in their jobs and the true care they feel for the residents shows everyday. The Activities director does a great job keeping her busy and involved. She has never been happier or better cared for in Asst. Living.

I moved my uncle to Garrett Woods on the Saturday before Easter. It was the only place that wasn't trying to sell me something. They told me what they could do, and I didn't talk to the sales people when I went in. I talked to the head nurse at the assisted living side, and she showed me the whole facility. They've been wonderful and helped my uncle with all kinds of stuff. They have a wonderful activities director, and the people in the front office are helpful with anything. They've all been exceptional. The cost was less than a lot of other places. My uncle has a one-bedroom with a bathroom ad a small kitchen, and they come in to clean it every week. It's nice and I like it. I would live there.

I am a friend or relative of a resident

I was so impressed when I drove up to this facility to see my relatives (a couple). The facility was really nice a clean and by the outside appearance I could already determine that this facility was going to be really nice. I did make the correct guess because when I entered the entrance of their apartment it was really nice. At first I thought the building was going to be similar to other facilities, but it was built as a apartment community. I thought this was really nice especially since they had moved out their home to downgrade due to their age and they needed more help. The apartments were connected to the main entrance building. The apartments were one or two bedrooms for a choice to live in. The apartment that my family member lived in was a one bedroom, living room,and a bathroom along with a kitchen area. This was really great for them because they told me they felt good with the downgrade and another good thing the apartments were newer. I think this was a great facility because they were still able to have the same independent feel of living. I stayed for a while to hear their stories and they had nothing, but great things to say about the staff members. I thought this was great. And I really felt comfortable visiting them because they had a nice living room in their home that we could watch Television. And the facility building was available for us to walk around and we could go outside in the nice outside area. Hot Springs is really know for a great nature spot, and the building was located in a good spot to enjoy some nature to view tree and look and the birds. Also, there was a nice dinning area to have breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think this really nice because there are times people may not want to cook or may just not have the appropriate ingredients to cook. My family members were friends with other couples, so I thought this was really nice, which made their stay enjoyable. Also, they told me if they need assistance with cleaning someone is available, I thought this was great because sometimes they have problems with their knees and back. And there even someone available to take them to doctors appointments, when their daughter can't make it. After all, this is a really great place to stay that includes everything that a elderly person could ever want.
