Brenden Gardens

I'm at the Brenden Gardens, and I'm happy here. It's just I've had some spells where I've been falling, and so somebody suggested that I get a place with more help. This place is independent living. I think everything's good. They're pretty open. If you have a complaint or something, they'll follow up with you. The other residents here are wonderful. The staff is good. We had a turnover recently because we got a new chef. There are some changes going on. They have little events for residents, but I haven't taken part in a lot of the stuff because they have it in the afternoon or the morning when I have a doctor's appointment or something. They have a bus here and I don't drive, so that adds probably an hour to my travel time because they have to have somebody drop me off and then come back and pick me up. The dining area is very nice. The food is improving. I don't eat beef or pork, and my problem is they have beef and pork a lot and I have to come up with an alternative for my meal. It's not horrible, but I don't have too many choices.

I toured Brenden Gardens and looked at a one-bedroom. They're much more reasonable, and they were excellent too. I had lunch there, and I liked everything about it. The staff was very nice.

Brenden Gardens was a friendly and welcoming place. The apartment was clean and had modern appliances. The staff was also friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. The food was delicious. It tasted like they had somebody actually prepare it. It wasn't just out of a box. It was well presented and it tasted good. They have outings to different stores in the area. They also have a movie room, game room, and those kind of things.

Brenden Gardens was very nice. They showed me the 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments. They were small, but quite comfortable. The staff seemed very nice. There was quite a bit of activity going on. They had bingo, and there were a couple of guys playing pool. They had a library, a billiards place, and a place to play cards. There was a nice big restaurant style eating place. They have a bus that takes you to several different places, like doctors' appointments or grocery shopping.

Brenden Gardens was a nice facility, and they offer a lot. They have transportation and entertainment, and they take care of their residents. The rooms were adequate as well.

My mother-in-law has been in Brenden Gardens for a month now. She seems very happy, and it’s been a very positive experience. She has a spacious private room with a living room, kitchen, and bedroom. She is happy with the food, and she’s getting three meals a day. They have a beauty shop and a workout room she doesn’t use. They have different activities they can do, and they take a bus to different places every week for shopping and doctors' appointments.
