Medlock Gardens

The rooms are a great size, like a mini apartment, the interaction with the staff are very friendly. My mom enjoys the daily activities, several amenities that make you feel like home

The ambiance of Medlock is like living in a large mansion. Dining feels like a very nice restaurant with tablecloths and silver. It always smells good at mealtime in Medlock. My Mom has been a resident for almost 4 years. She is will be 100 years old in 3 years. Their protocols were strict during the pandemic. The staff worked very hard to care for the residents during that time and now we are grateful to the staff that we are just about to be clear to visit WITH HUGS. The staff is always very helpful and transparent when it comes to even the smallest of my Mom's needs are wants. I appreciate that because I want her to have anything tat will make her happy.

My wife has been there for eight years and has been pleased with the caregivers and surroundings. It has a small home life setting and the residents are treated like family. The food has been good and the caregivers are personable and friendly. I particularly like the smaller facility and the quiet neighborhood.

My mother lived in Medlock Gardens for a while, but it started going downhill big time. She got very frustrated with the fact that they were micromanaging her medicines and her other stuff, which is what assisted living does. I don't think either of us understood that. She thought she could bring all her stuff. Plus, the food was terrible, she was flushing it down the toilet or tossing it out. In general there were one or two staff members she didn't like, but otherwise they're quite helpful to her. Except for the fact that she would get sick from the food and get really scared and then she wanted to call 911 and was terrified, but they didn't have a nurse overnight and there was supposed to be more care. She was very upset by that. She didn't have trouble with the staff. There was a very helpful guy who fixed things for her constantly. For assisted living, it was probably the least expensive of all. I would say it's a deal if people can eat that kind of food.
