Assisted Living Reviews for Garden Estates of Tyler

January 21, 2019

I visited this facility

Garden Estates of Tyler was multi-story and for that reason, I ruled it out. It was OK, but it wasn't fit for me. We went to the different floors, and they told me that I had to be able to evacuate in so many seconds in order to live on the second or third story and I wasn't sure I would be able to do that. You have to be mobile, and I use a walker. If you had to evacuate, the elevators won't work. The fire department requires that you be able to use the stairs and be able to go down in so many seconds. They had some rooms on the first floor too, but at the time they didn't have available the size of the room I wanted. They had good amenities and well-planned activities.

We moved my mom into Garden Estates. It is very accommodating, and it is clean and efficient. I like it. They're far better than any others we have seen or visited. It is just the caring atmosphere that we're interested in. The residents and the staff are all friendly and upbeat. They have been very wonderful to work with. They have been very helpful. Mother is pleased. I didn't think she would be going into assisted living, but she is very pleased with the staff and the residents. She also said the food is very good. Activities are available, but my mother is 95% deaf, so that prohibits her from engaging in a lot of activities. They have a good variety of activities and they put the schedule out so it is available for everybody to see. I think the price is reasonable for what they offered.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback; we appreciate your review of our community and we're so pleased that your mom is enjoying her home here at Garden Estates of Tyler!

My sister and I care for our Dad who is almost 90 years old. He does very well, but doesn't need to be left alone and cannot get his own meals. We needed to take a little vacation and were looking for a place that provided respite care for a short time. We visited Garden Estates of Tyler. The staff was extra friendly and helpful and answered all of our questions. They gave us a tour and we met the nurse, director of the facility, and many other friendly staff. They were helpful and welcoming from the moment we walked in the building. Our Dad stayed for 3 days and says he gives this place an A+! He really enjoyed his stay and was very impressed with his room and the care he received. He told us we should have stayed longer on our little vacation so he could stay there a little longer. I would definitely recommend Garden Estates of Tyler to anyone looking for respite care for a loved one.

Thank you for your review; we appreciate your recommendation of our community and are so glad that your dad enjoyed his stay with us!

It is our pleasure to give Garden Estates of Tyler, TX a ‘FULL CONFIDENCE” rating. From the very first phone call seeking information to the present (our loved one is now a resident of this facility in Assisted Living). A search for a living residence for our parent was totally new for us. “Help is on the way at Garden Estates of Tyler. They are all patient regarding our numerous questions”. Ramon K. was our first point of contact via phone showing genuine interest, concern and clarity. After setting up a visit, all staff went out of their way to be friendly. We did not encounter any staff who did not make us feel welcome. During the sharing time there was much interaction between Ramon and our family, that included interaction with our parent. You could sense his interest and understood the affect of a life transition on all of us. Garden Estates is clean every where you look. From our observation, Garden Estates’ priority is each and every resident. Before the end of two weeks, our loved one was already being called by name by staff. At Garden Estates, you are family not just another person or resident. The medical staff with Keisha F. LVN at the helm, provides TOP NOTCH care to the residents with love and concern the same way we would do for our parent. Their dispensing of Meds is not an extra. Your loved one(s) will not be alone or feel so. The food service from Chef to its serving is quality. We were given the privilege to eat a lunch and dinner meal there with our loved one. Friendly, caring, good food and variety describes this experience. Deidra H., Executive Director personally along with her Assistant Shannon, went over all the financial obligations with our family and parent once we committed to residence. Professional, caring and explanatory would describe our time with Deidra and Shannon. Every question we had was kindly answered by Garden Estates including names of movers if so needed. Movers Jerry Stewart and crew went above and beyond in moving our parent from home to facility making this a smooth transition.

Garden Estates of Tyler was good, pleasant, and in a good location. Their independent living was too independent for my mother's needs. Their rooms were very attractive. Their facilities were spacious and seemed excellent to me. Their staff was friendly and helpful. Their activities seemed pretty good but limited.

Garden Estates of Tyler was very good. I liked it. I wish I could move in there. It seemed very family oriented. The apartment was large, and they had a library, a place for puzzles, activity room, and activities happening almost all the time. It's just very pretty and nice, and everybody was very friendly. The dining area was very nice. The tables were set very nicely with flowers on the table. It was very pretty. They have a private dining room that was very pretty with a large table and artwork if you want to do something special for your immediate family. It was very nice.

The place at Garden Estates of Tyler was smaller and wasn’t going to give us a lot of space. Most of the residents were up there plastered around the entrance of the place like at a typical nursing home. Everybody was gathered right there together, and it was almost claustrophobic. The maintenance of the facility was fairly good. With Garden Estates, it was difficult because we kept trying to meet with them and the people they wanted us to meet with were not there, so we had to come back a second time. The staff wasn’t that accommodating.

Provider Response

We were disappointed to learn you did not have a chance to meet with more of our team members when you visited our community. We would appreciate the opportunity to learn more about where you feel we could improve, and invite you to visit us again or reach out to our Executive Director directly at our community phone line should you have any additional input. Thank you for your time.

I visited this facility

We went to Garden Estates of Tyler for my mother-in-law. They didn’t have a lot of time to speak with us even though we had an appointment. We were a little late and the R.N. spoke with us instead of the actual tour guide, but they just seemed busy. We didn’t like it as much as the other facility because it was more like a nursing home than the other facility. My mother-in-law would be more comfortable in a place that was more independent living. Garden Estates of Tyler had a movie theater, but the dining room was much smaller and nowhere near as nice as the other facility’s dining room.

We were disappointed to learn you did not have a more positive experience with our team members.

Thank you for your time.

We looked at Garden Estates of Tyler. It is large, so they offer a lot more. It was very, very nice. They had several dining times. They actually got to order off of a menu. It was almost like being on cruise. The rooms/apartments were about the same size as what my mom has at the other facility. It is a newer building. It is a two-story building. It is very nice. I really like it. Garden Estates have puzzles everywhere for them to put together, and also they have bingo, so the activities were the same as with the other facility. But the thing I like about Garden Estates is that they would actually take them to places. They have a bus that would take them shopping and take them wherever they want to go. They really got them out, and the other facility doesn't do that. This is a really nice place. I would have moved my mother there because I thought it offered more.

Garden Estates was affordable, and they were always very nice and friendly. Everything just fell into place. My dad loves it out there. They play Bingo, and they go out to eat. They take them shopping if they need to go. They take very good care of all their residents. They give him his medications. Their dining area is set up like a restaurant. They have two different entrees to pick from, and they have options of picking something else to eat if they prefer. My dad has no complaints, and he says the food is good. My dad has a studio that overlooks the courtyard. It is one big room with a bathroom and closet. It fits him perfectly. He feels at home there.

The food at Garden Estates was little bit better quality food than the other facility I visited adn it was equipped for diabetics. There’s food three times a day, and they have transportation to take to doctors appointments. They have studio and 1 and 2 bedroom units. There are pharmacies all over the place and two very large hospitals.

I am very, very pleased with Garden Estates of Tyle for the quick and efficient and friendly help that they gave me when I was still searching for a facility in Tyler. I was very impressed with the staff member and the marketing director. The facility is very clean. Staff was very helpful, friendly, and respectful. They have daily activities and games. They also have weekly outings where they take a bus and go different places. They also celebrate for different holidays. They were very kind enough to provide a meal for the resident's friends and family if they came in, which was very much appreciated. Ever since my parents have moved in they have been very complimentary of the food. They have pretty good food.

We chose Garden Estates because when we had our tour, we liked it, and they had a room available at that time for my in-laws. The rooms are very nice. The work attitude of the staff seems to be good. Their services are also good. They have activities like exercise programs, games, and several different things. Maybe they can improve on some of the dietician staff.

My husband and I have lived here for five months and really love it. He has Parkinson and needed more assistance than I could take care of at home and after checking out a couple of homes we chose this one. So far we are really amazed at the caring staff of aides and the loving care they have given him. Food is really good with great menu selections and great service. So thankful to have such a great place to live and call home.

Before my great-grandmother passed away, she resided at Garden Estates of Tyler. At first our family was apprehensive about having to place her in an assisted living facility. However, when we toured Garden Estates and met the caregivers, we were impressed with the level of care they showed for their residents. The rooms are spacious and brightly-lit, and there is a cheerful atmosphere that is often lacking in elder care facilities. A grand piano is located in the dining room, and oftentimes music is played during meals. In my opinion, they go above and beyond in their care of their residents, because they provide not only for their physical needs, but their emotional and social needs as well. There are weekly and monthly activities, as well as fun activities for every holiday. The caregivers seem to genuinely enjoy their work and their residents, and it made for a very warm atmosphere for my great-grandmother. I think it is a great facility.

Garden Estates is a large facility that allows a lot of space and recreation area for its patients. The grounds look more like an apartment complex since it comes with a large garden area and walking paths outside. Inside the building offers a large dining area and game rooms in which they offer several different games throughout the week. I love the activities they offer to their residents to keep them active and involved. I also love that the facility bus makes almost daily trips to wherever patients need to go. Clearly, these employees respect their residents and want to make them feel at home, and are doing a great job of it.

My mom was in the retirement community of Garden Estates of Tyler. I've had no problems with them. The only thing is that when she got worse they didn't offer the level of care that she needed, so I had to move her. Her room was all nice and good. It was a big apartment, it was a one-bedroom that had a separate room, kitchen, and it was pretty nice. They had activities and stuff, and she said that the food when she first got there was good. And then it started not being so good. She did the activities when she first got there, but it got too much for her to go around. And the building was a big building, and it was quite a ways for her to get to where she was going, so she just kind of slacked off in going to the activities too much. I never ran into anything bad, they took care of her, and the staff was good. The facility was very clean. Garden Estates was the cheapest I found, and the nicest I found too.

Garden Estates of Tyler was good for my parents. It's a nice, clean, and well-managed place. I don't have anything bad to say about it. Their employees were very good and very friendly, and all the residents seemed to like everyone. I haven't heard any negative things at all. They chose a two-bedroom apartment, which is small compared to their home. They put in new flooring for them and they put in some additional grab bars that my mother needs in the bathroom. They did some other repairs and things that needed to be done around the place before they moved in. They did everything that they said they were going to do. They said the food was excellent. The value seems to be good compared to the other place that they went and from what we've heard in general about what other places charge.

To me, Garden Estates of Tyler was a bit dreary with its low ceilings and dark draperies. It didn’t have a bright and appealing appearance. The staff that assisted us was very cordial, accommodating, and helpful. The residents were doing some puzzles while we were there. The dining area was very nice. There was one big dining room and several adjoining dining rooms.

I visited this facility

The major walkways and living areas at Garden Estates of Tyler seemed small and cramped. They gave me the best tour and showed me different rooms and different areas. I thought the views and landscape were the least welcoming of the three facilities I visited. The amicable nature of the man who showed me around was commendable. They are in the process of remodeling, taking out a 1980s look and updating to the look that people look for in their new homes. They invited my mother to a Valentine's party, which was nice. I liked the upfront nature and that there weren't any hidden charges.

I had visited Garden Estates of Tyler but it was a little too big and too formal. They had too many people, however, it was a clean place.
