Angel Gardens Assisted Living

My grandfather is living here (not my choice). It is run down, old, depressing and dirty. The facility needs major improvements and is not welcoming. The elevator has been broken for over a month. The care is okay, the staff seems nice enough, but does not interact with the residents as much as they should. For example we visited my grandpa in the dining room and the staff was just passing out food and was not talking or interacting with the residents. They do not get to pick their table or who they eat with. My grandfather is made to sit with another man who he does not get along with. The care is okay, There have been some errors that have ended up causing him to go to doctor. I feel they could be doing more to deal with dehydration that has landed him in the hospital. I would not recommend sending your loved one here. I wish I had more say to get my grandfather out.

For a private pay place, Angel Gardens Assisted Living is below my expectations. There was broken furniture and dusty walls, and it did not looked well maintained. The people I interacted with seemed friendly. It was priced pretty competitively, but it did not have the same aesthetic as other places.

The staff at Angel Gardens’ takes good care of my friend. It’s a clean environment. They keep her secure and stay on top of her medical care. I have peace of mind. The rooms have a full-size bed, TV, and bathroom, and the showers are separate down the hill. It’s not very big, with only 55 or 65 residents.

Angel Gardens appeared to be clean and had activities going on. The rooms were clean and fine.

If you want better care than Angel Gardens, I suggest that you drop off your loved one at the local dog pound. Residents are not kept clean, and are tied into their wheelchairs. There is minimal staff and medications are passed by an aide, not a nurse. Many of the meals are bean soup. My mother was found on the floor of the dining room with no employees in sight. After she was transported to the hospital for dehydration, the directors refused to refund the $4000.00 security deposit. If you use this facility, I suggest that you first get a lawyer involved to read the contract.

Only gave it a star because they made me! I visited this facility on numerous occasions and was not impressed. The staff was unprofessional. A resident let me in the door, which is a major safety issue. The bathrooms were not kept clean.And on top of that, they dont even have a nurse passing meds nor doing woundcare OR doing tube feedings. I Wouldn't put my loved one here let alone my dog!

My mother-in-law was at Angel Gardens for two years before she passed away. We chose it because it was less expensive and they seemed to take care of her more. The caregivers seemed to really care for the seniors. The entertainment and nursing care were good. The environment was very clean and the food was good too.

I visited Angel Gardens because it was close to where I lived. It was a really nice place but costly. It was clean and it smelled good. The staff were courteous and friendly. The atmosphere was friendly and warm. The rooms were made of hard wooden floors and well-kept. I was not able to look at the menu, but they claimed to serve healthy snacks. The facility had different activities everyday for the residents.

When I visited Angel Gardens, it was under the name, Laurel Park West. It looks like it is a respectable home for people who are on a lower income. I had gone with a friend of mine who had a relative that was staying here. The relative was pretty ill and needed a lot of care. It seemed that most of the patients had issues or were going to be needing lots of help from the staff. I found the staff to be polite and the place seemed very tidy, although there wasn't much to look at. It was a small set up and there didn't appear to be much going on. I'm not sure if the patients were beyond the stages where they would want to interact with each other, but many of them seemed sedentary. It could have been the timing as well. I was only there for about two hours. It might have been down time as far as the place was concerned. I would say that this place could be an dependable option if you have someone that needs quite a bit of assistance.

THIS IS A REVIEW WRITTEN FOR THE ADULT DAY CARE PROGRAM AT ANGEL GARDENS. ANGEL GARDENS HAS MADE A BIG IMPROVEMENT IN MY HUSBANDS "will to live' AND ATTITUDE. HE LOOKS FORWARD TO GOING TO DAY CARE THREE DAYS A WEEK BECAUSE HE HAS ALOT OF FUN, FOOD AND SNACKS ARE GOOD. HAS MET MANY PEOPLE OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS WHICH HAVE BECOME HIS FRIENDS. PEOPLE NEED PEOPLE WHETHER THEY ARE YOUNG OR OLD AND ANGEL GARDENS HAS GIVEN HIM SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR. STAFF AND CAREGIVERS ARE THE BEST AND GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO ASSIST. MAYBE NOT THE PRETTIEST BUT CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BEST...(BOBBI, ACTIVITIES DIRECTOR IS ONE IN A MILLION, SHE CARES FOR ALL THESE PEOPLE, YOUNG AND OLD)

I think Laurel Park West Home Care, is an excellent choice for a home care provider for someone who is looking for someone to take care of their independent living friend or family member. That prefers to live independently and need access to outside supportive care and assistance when needed Laurel Park West Home Care agency, offer assistance with personal cares such as bathing, grooming, and dressing. In addition to their providers help in meal preparation, housekeeping and shopping. They also offer assistance with self administered medication, ambulation, exercises, and transportation to medical appointments. Their supportive services can be arranged for various amount of times needed including up to 24/7 or on a respite or temporary time basis. They also provide a variety of other services to fit the individual care plan assessed by their professional Care Team of Nurses. In general, I would rank this service a five stars rating for their excellence and expertise. Their staff of healthcare professionals are also very task, team oriented in their job duties and performances.

I just visited Laurel Park West for a client (I'm a geriatric care manager), who may need assisted living and wanted me to check it out for him. The facility itself is an older building"”it looks like it might have been a small hotel or office at one time"”and is set back in an odd spot. It has a very institutional look and feel. There are a lot of businesses around it, including a few restaurants. When I visited, I had a hard time finding any staff"”literally. There just doesn't seem to be anyone around. I had a hard time finding anyone even to let me out. It's supposed to offer dementia care to those in the early stages, but I didn't see anything that would prompt me to recommend it. No activities. There's just a big room, with tables, and a lot of people just sitting there.
