The Gardens at Shadow Hills

Tammy

It was wonderful. It's where I was looking to move my parents because I was impressed with that place. It was very quaint like a colonial type of place. I fell in love with it. I liked the fact that it was done on an octagon level, so everything came around back to the main area. When you first walked in, it was the dining room after you passed the offices and everything. The apartments were a little small, so that was going to be a concern of mine, but this was something that I was originally trying to research for the future. The staff was wonderful. They were incredible. They invited us for lunch and their food was amazing as well. The place was beautiful in a different setting. They were all very, very nice to us. We got to meet the activities director, and they have quite a few activities over there as well. That's why I was leaning towards here.

The rooms were very nice. They had nice restrooms that looked like they would be easy to use, nice beds, and communal movie areas for people to get together. Robert showed me around and he was very accommodating in answering all the different questions I had about the place. Everyone looked pretty happy, too. They had groups for various things. They get together every week to play dominoes or take walks outside if they want to. They also had a salon and an exercise room with different equipment for people to use. They had quite a spacious dining area and a nice kitchen. Before we left, Robert gave us a pie to take home to my grandmother. She liked it. It was delicious.

It was very friendly, very welcoming, and bright. The residents and the staff banter each other and there were just people constantly moving around. The residents would come up to me and ask me who I was and if I was going to work there, and they got so excited. It's a small facility. I ate lunch there and the food was really good. They went way above and beyond compared to the other ones I visited. They gave me a tour of every nook and cranny of that place. The person who showed me around was excellent. They have a dining room, a game room, then they do painting, all kinds of activities, and they have outdoor spaces for them. There's tons of stuff that they have.

When we went here, we realized that it was more of dependent living accommodations, it didn't fit our needs, and so we just really didn't follow through with the rest of the tour. There's the main building and then there are four cottages. The cottages for independent living were very limited and then having to walk from the cottages over to the main building to get food and things like that was just not what we were looking for. We saw a cottage and it was very nice. As far as the rest of the amenities being in the main building, we did not get to see all of that. We saw the cottage, we saw the daily walk from the cottage to the main building to eat the three meals a day, and it just didn't suit what we were looking for, so we just kind of stopped.

It was small and the people were very friendly, very outgoing. The facility was spotless and it just seemed like a really good fit for where my mom is right now. All the rooms are private with private baths, which we liked. They do have assistance to help them to and from meals if they need help with showers and dressing. They have activities and they do have a church service on Sundays. Those were quite a few of the perks we thought were nice. Robert was the one who toured us and he was excellent and very informative. We ate a meal there and the staff was very friendly. The wait staff and the chef came out and brought her a pecan pie, and that was a nice little touch. The dining area was very nice and very clean too.
