Garden Plaza of Aurora

We're very happy here at Garden Plaza of Aurora. The building itself is beautifully decorated. It's very warm and attractive as you walk in the front door. The staff here has been fantastic. We've had a couple of medical emergencies and they were right there to help and they made me feel very comfortable. The only problem we have here is they're very slow in getting the food out of the kitchen. The food selection is good, but sometimes the service is very slow. Other than that, I've been happy with everything. They have good activities. We're in a 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment, and it's very comfortable. We have a bistro cafe where they serve soup, sandwiches, and salad every Friday. We can also get coffee, milk, juices, soft drinks, and yogurt anytime we want. So you can go in there instead of going into the dining hall, and we find that to be very comfortable. There's a beauty shop where they do hair and nails for men and women. There's also housekeeping weekly. The public areas are well-appointed and kept nicely. We have lounges on each wing of every floor. We have happy hour on Thursdays where they serve wines and snacks. It's such a comfortable place to be.

We decided to relocate my mother to the Garden Plaza after taking several tours. The community relatively new, opened about 5 or 6 years ago and seems to be very well maintained. The staff was very friendly, especially Luke. The residents we met during our tours were friendly and spoke highly of the community. The Garden Plaza gives my mother the ability to enjoy independent living with most of the assisting living options included at no extra cost (daily wellness checks, 3 meals a day, housekeeping, transportation, etc.). The monthly costs are very reasonable compared to other like facilities in the area.and we had toured a number of these before settling on the Garden Plaza.

Garden Plaza of Aurora is a very beautiful place. My friends have nothing but good things to say about that place. The people seemed to be very nice. It is a pleasant, bright, and cheery place with nice rooms.

Garden Plaza was very nice, very friendly, well planned out, and a little expensive, but they all are. The staff was very nice and friendly. The amenities were very good, and they offer a lot of things, more than I was expecting. There was transportation for a very minimal price to take you to a lot of different places, doctors' appointments, the grocery store, and more. There was exercise room with machines plus classes. The utilities included cable, internet, and telephone. They do housekeeping once a week, which means they come in and clean your little apartment. They also launder your towels, linens, and sheets, and make up the bed. I would recommend them. It’s a fairly new facility with nice garden areas.

Garden Plaza of Aurora is filled with wonderful residents but the company that owns them is a miss. The new executive director is uncaring and only cares about herself and the corporate folks are only about training the residents to due want they want them to do. They have not compassion for them.

Garden Plaza is not quite as depressing as any other facility because it is independent living. The staff knows everyone by name, and is very friendly, dependable, and careful.

My mother-in-law is in Garden Plaza of Aurora, and so far, all I can say are wonderful things. I have nothing negative to say. From the very first time we walked in there, it was immaculate. The staff intermingles with the people that live there always. The man who took us around knew every resident by name, and they knew him and they seemed to really like him a lot. He's very friendly, very kind, and very informative to everything that we had questions about. It's a beautiful place. She has her own little apartment and someone comes in and checks on her at least every two hours, unless she needs help, then she rings her little buzzer and they come right away. They assist her to go to dinner, to crafts or sing-alongs or whatever they have. If she wants to go outside, they will assist her to go outside. We've eaten there a couple of times, and the food is pretty good considering it's an institutionalized place. If they don't like what they're having for their main meal of the day, they can order off of a menu. There are many choices and varieties that they can have. There are cafes on each floor where they can go and get beverages, cookies, brownies, etc. We have been in her room almost every day, and it's never ever been dirty. There's absolutely no smell of urine in that facility. It's just marvelous. She has been there now about six weeks. It's a good location for us.

I went to Garden Plaza of Aurora for a meeting and I thought this was an attractive facility. The facility was well kept and the lobby was attractive. The personnel I met were open and enthused about their property. Their staff were also very helpful and very nice. I talked to a woman that was there when I went outside and she was all dressed up and had makeup on and her attitude seemed very positive. I asked her how she enjoyed the facility and she said she the facility is nice. She had good things to say about it. It just impressed me.

My mother is in Garden Plaza and we chose this facility because of its location. The place is really nice and they have activities everyday. The food tasted pretty good and is in consideration of a balanced diet.
