very nice facility, highly recommend
Everything was explained well. The place is very nice. I wish my mom n law was there instead of [facility name removed]. I think the Gardens is much nicer and more affordable. My only issue there was when Ward fell . 1 they didn't call me right away and 2. They didn't honor the instructions to send him to ports naval hospital. Said ambo must go to closest. I'll never know if they would have taken him to the hospital with his doctors and medical records if he would have lived longer. He had horrible care at the local hospital and died 10 days later. If they had called me when they found him things might have been different. I never complained to them as overall I think it's a really good place!! It was the head nurse who made the call. That was my issue. Otherwise I have positive things to say and would recommend it to people

Mom needed a great place to stay. She worked hard and raised my brother and I. I wanted to find a place that I would liked to live if it was me. The gardens has surpassed all of my expectations and Mom loves it! The staff is amazing and caring, her room is sunny and welcoming and she loves the food! She said she couldn’t be happier!

Review for The Gardens of Virginia Beach
I would say that they have done an excellent job with our unique situation. Both my mom and my dad are there, and they have done a wonderful job managing conflict between them, and caring for the different levels of me that they both have. My dad needs a very high level of care as he's immobile, and their staff is always on the ball with taking care of his every need. And my mom has memory issues and they do a great job managing that as well. They both seem very happy, and management has always worked with us for anything we need. They seem to enjoy the food almost every single day, and we are blessed to have this place for my parents. Also, it is an excellent value compared to many others that we looked at.

Our Experience
Since my brother first moved to The Gardens of Virginia Beach, the faculty turnover seems to have been high. Because I live out of town, it's difficult for me to speak with someone at the facility concerning the status of my brother. I must say though, that the permanent staff did work with him patiently to help him get adjusted to his new surroundings. Overall, the facility has been a good place for my brother to live.

The staff care about what they do and who they are doing it for. The food is outstanding. The facility is not too big and overwhelming. The rooms are a very good size. It is an older facility, but they know that and are upfront about it. All of the other positives made it feel like it was the right place.

My loved one moved out. The memory care unit is full, and they put people who who should be in the memory care unit in the regular rooms. There were physical altercations in the dining room on more than one occasion between staff and residents. We had repeated issues with access to get into the building after 7:45 PM.

There's a good community of people for social butterflies, there's almost always a friendly group hanging out in the lobby. The staff is friendly too. Housekeeping is good, the room isn't usually too messy but she is a messy person so it's hard to keep up. The meals are good quality, sometimes she says they're not good or too tough but usually she likes them

Our Experience
Most of staff are friendly. My wife has Alzheimer's, will not let staff help her, and they do not push her as much as they could to shower and change clothes regularly. Unless I ask questions or point out concerns, there is no feedback on how my wife is doing. Housekeeping is not very good. Meals are acceptable. If a resident needed individual attention, I would not recommend the Gardens. Feedback on residents progress or status is poor.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts John. I am the Executive Director and, as we have discussed, when a resident in our Assisted Living neighborhood starts to need additional care it is our responsibility to track those changes and when appropriate help the family to find a suitable placement where that help is available. We will continue to work with you to ensure your wife receives the care she needs, and do not hesitate to reach out to me directly if you ever have any questions or concerns.

The staff was amazing and made me feel at ease putting my husband there. The laundry ladies seemed nice, the few I met though some of course seemed like they didn't really love their job(kinda see that everywhere these days). The floor nurses were super nice friendly and welcoming. My husband only lived there for a short time before he passed away, but in that time communication was good with the staff. The move in was super easy. They loaned us a dolly and gave us all the time in the world to decorate the room. We moved him in 2 days later. All the moving process was easy. Once he passed, they didn't put any pressure on me to move his things out either. He seemed fine with the food, though his appetite decreased as his dementia progressed. I would absolutely recommend The Gardens to anyone looking for Assisted Living or Memory Care!

Review for The Gardens of Virginia Beach
We love it and my parents seem to have a great time socializing - especially my mom! She is very social and it's great that they have tons of activities planned every day. We chose it because the price was very reasonable, and they seemed to have a fun, very social atmosphere. The Gardens has provided exactly what both of my parents have needed - socialization, fun, and activities for my Mom - and hands on, responsive medical care for my Dad. The best of both worlds!

The facility is clean, open and the lighting is great. The staff is generally friendly and helpful. I like the app that they use for activity information and communication. It provides the calendar of activities for the day and reports what activities your family member has participated in during the day. However, I do wonder why no pictures are ever posted of my loved one's participation. I would like there to be more communication between the facility and myself otherwise. Because I'm unable to be there personally, when I call to check on my loved one, I would prefer to speak to the nurse on duty and not to the assistant nurse director, who probably has no contact with my loved one.

Our culinary team does try to incorporate fresh and seasonal ingredients into our meals, but we will be sure to pass along your thoughts that they could go even further on that path -- and encourage you to attend our monthly food committee meeting as we are always looking for resident feedback on our menus and service.

Short staffed
My loved one was a resident here and staffing was an issue. They were so short staffed that the Executive Director and other administration were on kitchen duties and they ran out of food. The facility was clean, the staff that they did have was friendly. We'd chosen this facility because it was newer, clean, affordable, and we heard everything that we wanted to hear....but they didn't deliver. They intended to do everything right, but staffing was a disaster. I'd rate them at a 2 until the fix the staffing. Once that is fixed, my rating would probably return to a 4 or 5.

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 Virginia 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 Virginia regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored The Gardens of Virginia Beach 9.1 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.
