“I want to make sure that this place gets their 5 star review. Joanna who made sure my special diet was accommodated. From my allergies to my preferences they did an amazing job getting it right. I have been to several nursing homes due to my disabilities but this one takes the cake. Bravo.”

“My Aunt has unfortunately had a few falls lately and has stayed at Central Gardens twice in the past year. I just had to write a review because, especially this second time, the staff has been so helpful. We don’t live near our Aunt, and her memory is also becoming an issue; so having excellent caretakers is essential. “

“Never did I think I would have to come back here after my grandma’s brief stay but knowing that Nora was here made bringing my great aunt in that much easier. Nora made sure we were not only very aware of everything but she made sure my great aunt had all of the resources she needed.”

“My father has been at Central Gardens for about 8 months, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he has received. The nurses do a great job at communicating with us, giving us updates and allowing us to FaceTime him daily.”

“The facility is clean and friendly and the staff are very attentive. They have a whole physical therapy team that specialize in a post acute program. My friend went in and couldn’t walk and now he’s walking on his own.”
