Brenden Gardens had lots of activities. They had an activity room and a TV room. Walking the halls, it felt more like you were in a nursing home than you were in an apartment complex and they didn't have any outdoor area. Although they said that there's a pond, it belongs to another company. It was just part of the view that you could get from some of the windows. It felt like we would be signing ourselves into a nursing home and that kind of scared us a bit. The staff were very friendly. The apartments were a little bit smaller than usual. It's an older facility, but it seemed like it was clean and everything. The lady gave us desserts to take home and that was wonderful.

We are staying at Brenden Gardens. It's been a good, solid place to live. I have never had any serious complaints about it at all. The housekeeping and maintenance are excellent. The staff members are excellent. If we need some maintenance, they're just excellent at getting right to it and doing it. The servers are wonderful. The meals are supposed to be at the dining hall, but my husband and I both have illnesses that have prevented us from doing that, so we're getting our meals in our room right now, and that's very nice. We have a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. It's a little on the small side. It's not spacious, but it's adequate for us. The atmosphere is very cheerful. Everybody seems to be smiling and kind to each other. Everybody greets each other. As far as the activities, there are a lot of themmore than we can do, which is a good thing. They have crafts, bingo, and poker. There are outings. There's a bus, which is wonderful. It takes people who want to go to doctor's appointments or go shopping. We go on trips. Once in a while, we get a health problem, and there's also a team that provides help. You can pay them, and they will do things for like 4 hours a day or whatever you need, which has been helpful. Everybody who comes here from other places brags about the food and says it is so good. Every two weeks or so, we have the same menu. The menu is very good. You get two choices of entrees and a lot of choices of size, and you get a dessert. The facility is clean and well-kept.

My mother is leaning towards Brenden Gardens. It was nice because they took me and my mom on a tour. They showed us 2 or 3 different apartments and we had lunch with them. And then they showed us the different areas like the library and a mini church. The 1-bedroom looked pretty nice. It had a mini fridge, but it didn't have a stove because they give clients their meals in the dining room. The staff was very friendly. We met the director, the secretary, the dining staff, and the maintenance people. They seemed to be very thorough and they kept checking up on how our process was.

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.

I thought Brenden Gardens looks more like an apartment living style. You drive up and it looks like just a big, huge, massive apartment building, which is okay. But I have lived in apartments since I was younger. I went in and the staff was very nice and very courteous. The director came in and shook my hand, and made me feel right at home, and then we went across the hallway. We went into a room that was comfortable. It was more of a unit, not an office. And she discussed some things with me and I was kind of happy she answered my questions. Then we went to the units. It was a very small square footage for the money they were asking. I went into a one bedroom and the kitchen was very, very small. It had a little divider and then overlooked a parking lot. I felt it was very small because I've got so many things. The transition for me is going to be very difficult because I've got so much furniture, and I've got so much stuff in storage. Everything was provided, except for my phone.
