Professionalism And True Caring
When a family member becomes I'll, it really can put a lot of stress and worry on the family..But I found with the staff of this hospital I always stayed at ease....they spoke calmly. Kindly, in the most dullcet tones that were calming...and they always spoke on a level that I could understand...no confusing "med" speak. It's a great hospital and even greater staff.

Ok
My mother moved to Gardens of Gainesville a few months back. She has adjusted quite nicely and participates as much as possible. Overall, her transition has been quite positive. There have been a couple instances of concern on my end. Although the staff is friendly, communication is often difficult as answers seem to be vague, uncertain, or unanswered. I am not convinced trash is taken out on a regular basis as 2-3 days will go by and when I return, the same trash bag is still in the bathroom trash can and with incontinence issues makes the room a bit less aromatic. Unfortunately, on two occasions some money appeared to go missing from her wallet. When I reluctantly approached staff about this concern, there was no follow through about my report. Mom is happy and she is close to my home which is a huge plus and has to be the bottom line.

Be aware and very diligent!
If I could give 0 for care I would. Went every week and she would be covered in new bruises and scrapes. She had black eyes and the last straw was when I found her on the floor in her room dressed only in a shirt lying in a pool of urine. No depends or slacks in sight and she must have trying to get to the bathroom. As I was coming down the hall I could hear her crying for help. Two aids were sitting less than 30 feet away!
Just keep a close eye on everything. Going once a week was not enough but it was almost 2 hours one way. No excuse though, how I wish I would have went more.
They informed me since I didn't give 30 days notice I would be charged another month $5,000. I showed them all the pictures of her injuries and they backed down right quick! I should have contacted an attorney but hated to drag it all out.

Safe place for a loved one.
It was between a couple of places judged to be pretty equal. Gardens had an opening and the parents had backed themselves into a corner.
Not the staffs fault but they are running the place with the least amount of people they can.
We feel lucky that poppa is there. Momma passed away in July and the way they handed it was fantastic.

It has progressive care. Independent living, assisted living, memory care. Also, cost was reasonable. I would say the staff and residents are friendly and welcoming. It's not perfect, of course. No place is. But I'm happy with my apartment, the food, amenities, and location to medical and other needs. Coming here was a good decision.

Gardens of Gainesville
Garden's of Gainesville is overall above average and very homey atmosphere. No visiting hours to limit your accessibility to the facility and family members can even stay overnight with their parent which is unusual in my experience with assisted living facilities. The food is about average and good occasionally but better than the other facilities that we've experienced so far. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant. The amenities are nice in the independent living side and can be used by assisted living residents if they are accompanied by an employee or a family member.

March 29, 2023
My loved one was severely malnourished and dehydrated when he fell. It is very very difficult to get anyone on the phone in the evening or on weekends. They can improve in the memory care area. They let my loved one not eat for 3 weeks before telling us. My loved one ended up falling and breaking a hip and passed away 2 months later. My other loved one is still there. They have improved with some of the activities and things but it is too late for one of my loved one. I would not recommend them unless you stay on top of everything that goes on.

Community Tour
There were a few things here that were not the right fit for us. It seemed be a very high class place. I just couldn't imagine going down for breakfast to a linen tablecloth. We also noticed there was very little communication between our hostess who was showing us around and the residents. They didn’t speak, nod, or smile to each other in the time that we were there. And that concerned me. Also we wanted our apartment to have a better view.

Beautiful Community
My parents are settling in nicely at Gardens of Gainesville. They really like it there. It is a beautiful and clean community. The staff is very friendly and caring. It is very easy to communicate with the staff members either by phone or text. Also, my parents have phone service in their room so it is easy to contact them. I have dined there several times with my parents and the food is really good. They offer choices and variety in their meals. They encourage the residents to participate but respect the residences preferences if they don't wish to engage. The atmosphere is like southern living home. Very warm and cozy. They have areas for residents to gather and socialize, such as a courtyard, a library, a living room, and a craft area. They have a lot to choose from. I would absolutely recommend this community to others.

We liked the tour from the nice staff. This is a clean community with a nice environment for care. The meals seemed to be appealing. They did not have a dr at night in case I needed a physician.

Very Nice Community, My Wife is Well
This is a very nice community, and I'am pleased with my wife's move here. She is doing very well, and being cared for well. They have a great staff, and they are always willing to help. The community is well maintained. I know they do a good job with the cleanliness, everything is very neat and tidy. There are activities for the residents. I would say the meals could use some improvement. It has been a good experience. I can sleep good at night knowing she is safe and in a good place. This is a community I would recommend.

This community just felt like home. The rooms were spacious and each resident had a space outside their room to show their individuality, whether it be their favorite sports mascot, sculptures from their missions in Africa or a child's statue playing hide and seek. They also have two dogs that share both the assisted and memory care units and the residents love them dearly. I could say more, but you really have to experience this one!

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Georgia regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Georgia regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Gardens of Gainesville 8.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
