We spent extensive time and energy researching different ASL communities for our Mom. We chose Tuscan Gardens primarily for the safety, access to walking/exercise & food. My Mom has been a resident for two months and we are thrilled with all of the above as well as the staff, nursing accommodations, and the great environment set up for the residents to spend time together. Our Mom's health has improved considerably since her move to Tuscan Garden - partially due to the inhouse Physical Therapy and the consistent care.
The room is spacious enough for her as a single resident. All of the staff greet and care for my mom in a caring manner.
Oh, I almost forgot the quality of the food is excellent. They offer an 'standard menu' that is available daily and then two daily features for the residents to choose from. The food is fresh and a good variety is offered. My mom does say that the service is slow sometimes, but I think that is to be expecting during this time of lean employees.

My father moved into Tuscan Gardens of Venetia Bay. It is very friendly and very clean. The food is outstanding, and my father loves it. The staff is excellent, very professional, courteous, kind and organized. They have physical therapy and occupational therapy. They also have an excellent dining room. Right now, because of Covid, they have a lot of limited activities. It is very well maintained, very clean, and just an excellent facility.

Such a warm place, and I mean southern hospitality!! We toured and stayed for lunch...the Administrator even spent time with us!! Kim was friendly, informative, and clearly loves her residents. Staff are compassionate and kind, appeared to care a great deal. Such a happy visit, Dad moves in next month!!!! Need a more obvious, accessible smoking area.

The rooms are spacious and well designed. Although they made the mistake of installing direct T.V vs a cable program. The staff is attentive and empathetic to the residents. There are many and varied activities to choose from,something for everyone! The facility itself is kept very clean and appealing.
There is one MAJOR blemish that the owners fail to recognize and amend. The food at this facility is horrendous . Chef Dino is even worse than The first Chef. He uses average quality food, is constantly running out of products,i.e. Ketchup,lemonade,bacon..to name a few and the food is prepared so poorly it is constantly being sent back to the kitchen ,hence. Tremendous waste. Management has been notified of this issue and has yet to remedy the situation . I find it very unfortunate that food preparation should put such a blemish on this beautiful facility. I have been present to experience this first hand and am very discouraged that nothing has changed.

Tuscan Gardens of Venetia Bay is brand new and a much smaller development which is nice. They have a communal dining room, and they have food available 24 hours. They have 3 set eating times, but if you wanted a snack, there's always food around. It's a beautiful facility, and it's in a beautiful location except that it's on a busy street. They have a communal outdoor space, but the apartment has no patio. The staff was wonderful, but there was hardly any people moving around. There's a hotel, restaurants, and good shopping nearby.

Tuscan Gardens was my favorite of all the facilities that I looked at. It fit my needs the best. There was no perfect place. Every place had its pros and cons. This had more pros from the physical stability stand point, but there were some cons as well. The staff was incredible. They were very compassionate and kind. They were very caring individuals. They were very welcoming, which was huge when looking at this style of living. They were very positive. It had a homey atmosphere. Their apartments came in a variety of sizes. However, they were so incredibly well laid out that they appeared spacious. They thought of everything when it came to accessibility for the handicapped. The apartments were really nice. The square footage was not large, but the way they had designed it, they appeared very spacious. It was not a waste of space. I would absolutely recommend it to other families.

We saw Tuscan Gardens for my mother-in-law and it was very nice. The dining area was beautiful. My aunt was in the Alzheimer's unit before and her room was nice, small, and perfect for her needs.

Tuscan Gardens of Venetia Bay was brand new. The price was reasonable, but there was only one other client at the time. We didn’t know what kind of care my wife would get with only one other client there. The place was beautiful.

Tuscan Gardens of Venetia Bay is nice and new. They have a doctor that comes in twice a week or when people need to see a doctor. I just like the overall appearance because it is a lot newer. It has concrete walls so you do not hear your neighbors. Everything I saw was nice like the dining room and the bistro. Just a nice place all around. I did not have any food but the menu looked nice.

It's a beautiful facility, and it's fairly new. As far as the personnel, she was very good. She was excellent, and she took a lot of time. I thought it was well worth looking at, and I think it was something my mother would have liked. The only thing for us -- the downside -- was the living quarters were on the smaller side, but they were nice. It was more homey than an institution.

Tuscan Gardens was a fantastic facility. My father passed away and I could just see when mom's ready for something like that, that would be a perfect place. I highly recommend Tuscan Gardens to people who can afford and who's able to do that. It was beautiful and well-maintained, the general facilities and the common areas. It's gorgeous. The grounds were beautiful. The staff was extremely friendly and receptive. They assured me that a lot of the people that are working there were long time. They give incentives, so that their people don't go anywhere else, and I was really pleased with that. I can really see mom enjoying something like that, when she's ready, which I think maybe about a year or so down the road. For right now, I just wanna keep her with me and spend time with her, which is something we haven't really been able to do very much over the past 10 or 15 years.
I couldn't go in there because they had one case of Covid, which the caregiver brought in, so they didn't wanna do any type of exposure. I got to see the other general area. They showed me one of the little apartment units, what it looked like, and then the staff explained the programs that they do for their people in memory care. I couldn't go in and actually see the memory care part itself, but the staff showed me everything else on the assisted and the independent side. From what I saw, heard, and everything, I loved the looks of it. I would highly recommend it. I think their pricing was very good for what they were offering. Especially with someone who would be pretty dependent, the memory care, the staff assured me everything was included.

DO NOT BELIEVE A WORD THEY SAY!
I am a disabled veteran and my wife is in the later stages of Alzheimers. I can't remember a time in all my 71 years on this earth when I have ever felt as deceived as I have by this facility. I will be submitting a more detailed review but for now I can only warn you NOT to be fooled by all the sweet talk and "you are family" baloney. Get EVERY WORD, EVERY PROMISE and EVERY OFFER in writing IMMEDIATELY, at the very moment it is being presented. In our experience, it all turned out to be nothing more than a systematic "deception" orchestrated to move you closer and closer to "the big bait and switch". Then they will try to make you believe that YOU misunderstood (why not, you’re old and have trouble remembering things). Don't even consider this place unless you have a team of lawyers with you every single second of the way. Be especially careful of the long list of EXTRA CHARGES, MONTHLY FEES, AMENITY CHARGES, SERVICE CHARGES, SUPPLY CHARGES and the MASSIVE UPFRONT NON-REFUNDABLE COMMUNITY FEE. In our opinion they have ZERO conscience, even less trustworthiness and driven by greed. Please be careful. My family is heartbroken.
