My dad moved into Madonna Gardens Assisted Living & Memory Care. It's a small facility, but it is very nice. The people are very caring and attentive. It just got renovated, so it looks like a boutique hotel. I'm really very, very pleased with it. He has an apartment with a small refrigerator and a small microwave, and you have to bring in your own furniture. It is wheelchair accessible, so it's got a roll-in shower. Some of the rooms have fall detection technology. If the resident falls inside the living area and does not get up, it alerts the staff and they come. They have beautiful gardens where people can walk around. They have a small dining room and your family can join you to eat. I have eaten there and it's pretty good. If for some reason you don't like what's being served, you can get something else. There's always bingo, chair exercises, movie nights, and arts and crafts classes. They have a very small gym, but it's got an exercise bike and other machines. They have a small library and they have a big screen TV. They have a game room with board games and card games. They just had a luau last Saturday, and they try to get families involved in the activities. There's Grandparent's Day that's coming up.

I visited Madonna Gardens Assisted Living & Memory Care. The food smelled phenomenal and the staff during the tour said that they have good food there. It's a smaller based community, so that was nice. It didn't work because I am trying to place my mom and my grandma, and they have only little small one-bedroom. They're more like a studio. They only have one floor plan. The staff was fine. I only had interaction with the person who gave me the tour. They had a nice atmosphere. The dining area looked good. They had a nice and comfortable courtyard area. The rooms probably fit people's needs great, but for what I was looking for, they're small.

Madonna Gardens Assisted Living & Memory Care was an older facility. However, the staff was nice. The director was very nice. If it was me, I would have wanted to go there more than likely, but my dad is different from me. He's very into newness. He is very into the superficial. The room was nice and a nice size. I saw the cafeteria, which was good. I saw the areas where they had activities. The residents were waiting to be served. The dining area was clean and spacious. It had a good feel to it. The people seemed happy. It's a nice facility; it's just older. They have codes, so that the residents are safely in place. They had a nice outdoor garden, and they had a big orange tree that was full of oranges.

Madonna Gardens Assisted Living & Memory Care was beautiful, very clean, and very nice. It seemed like they had a very attentive staff. It just didn't seem the right fit for my mother-in-law. We just had cookies and hot chocolate and they had a very nice Christmas program. There were a couple of ladies doing crafts and that's all we saw. It seemed like the program they had were mostly for their memory care people there, so there wasn't an active interaction among the residents. The studio apartment was nice but small. The dining room looked very nice. They had an exercise room and a beauty shop. The activity center was very nice.

Madonna Gardens Assisted Living & Memory Care was just spectacular and luxurious. The location is a beautiful, serene neighborhood. There's a school and a park. It just was ideal. If you have to put your elderly parents somewhere, or family members, I couldn't think of a safer spot, more clean, just luxurious place to be. The staff member was extremely generous with her time and her information. She went above and beyond to be helpful and make recommendations, and just kind of orient someone who doesn't know anything about elder care or where to start. She was very gracious and generous with her time, and providing information. The whole place was luxurious and extremely clean. I saw a lot of the residents and they all looked well and looked serene, content, and safe. It was pretty quiet, which is probably due to COVID, but I could tell there were some art classes, and some people walking around in the park. There was a beautiful music library room, and just some social areas where there were residents just talking and with their caregivers.

My father has moved into Madonna Gardens Assisted Living, but I haven't been there. My sisters took care of it. I toured it four years ago before it was finished. I think the atmosphere was great and cleanliness was good. The staff who toured me around was friendly and helpful. My dad loves the food; he's going to gain 50 pounds. I've only seen pictures of the rooms. I know they're gonna have happy hour today at 4:00. So far, the family is very happy with it, and so is he.

I recently visited a very dear friend of mine in memory care and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the staff the Director, the environment in memory care. It smells so fresh and clean The team is so generous and thoughtful they always take time to greet me, And see if I need anything. It’s nice going to sleep knowing my dear friend is being well taken care of.

My mother-in-law is doing well in Madonna Gardens considering, and I'm very pleased. Everything that we saw and observed was very positive. We had Thanksgiving there with her, and the food was lovely. Everything seems to be fine. The staff is very helpful and very friendly. They are very proactive in assisting the people who are living there with ideas, games, puzzles, etc.

I visited Madonna Manor. It was very good, and they had a vacancy, but it wasn’t really what my sister needed at the time. She needed a little bit more help. It seemed like the staff was very nice, the facility was being renovated, and it was in a good location. I can highly recommend it. The grounds were very nice. They’re well manicured and safe.

I find Madonna Manor to be very claustrophobic. I knew that was not the place for my father-in-law because the rooms were small and there were very long hallways like in a hospital. It's undergoing renovation on one side and then they will renovate the other side. The dining area was nice, and they also had an activity room. The staff working with the residents was extremely friendly and very helpful. I really liked the staff.
