I toured the Gardens of Statesville & Cardinal Village for my mother. They had a very good professional protocol. They have decent long-term staff. It was very clean, too, and the rooms are above par and it’s the reason they’re probably one of the most expensive places in Statesville. They’ve got a wide spread of caring points where they can admit you. I find it to be a decent place to go. What I find good about them is that their COVID protocol is excellent. They also don’t allow people to push religion on each other, which is comforting. I looked at the rooms and some of the people were going out to the cafeteria and some people weren’t as mobile. They do not let you into the rooms of the people. They have good, solid COVID protocols. They don’t describe their levels of care, So I don’t know where I’m going to fit in. The bad thing is they sent their marketing director to assess my mother, but they haven’t sent the assessment yet. So, I can’t get her out of here until next week and it’s causing me more money. She needs assistance with bathing and using the bathroom. She needs lots of support. It needs a little more green space, but it’s not bad. It’s well decorated and a well-cared-for facility. Everything was in shipshape and in order. I looked at the kitchen and it looked pretty decent. They had a decent menu when I was there. They were having ham and macaroni and cheese, and there was a choice of something else they could have. It was pretty good. (read less)
