Giving a rating to a senior living facility is very hard in my opinion. Because anyone that works in that industry has to have a kind, loving heart because it is difficult. Patience, understanding and a sense of humor are musts. That has to be hard positions to fill for staffing. The Gardens has worked wonderfully for us as my mom had to go into skilled (long term) care and my dad chose to join her residing in the assisted living section. My parents can eat their meals together and see one another as much as they like. Your first contact person at The Gardens is Michelle Milcoff and you will be treated with the upmost respect. Michelle is a gem.. sweet, knowledgeable and always available. I spend a lot of time with my parents and I haven’t met an aide or RN that I haven’t liked. They work hard. Maybe more staff would be helpful for their load, but I believe all of the residents needs are being met. My dad is not a fan of the food but I believe they are working on that. The facility is newer, clean and well maintained. I am very thankful to the staff at The Gardens for the care they are giving to my parents in their last years of life. Thank you. Courtney Hoffman

The caring staff at The Gardens of Cedar Rapids takes very good care of my father, who needs to be in memory care at this stage of his life. Dad is very comfortable and his overall health has improved since he has lived here. He is happy and always involved in the various activities. The facility is clean, relatively new, and well-maintained. A plus is having an on-staff nurse and regular visits by a UnityPoint Nurse Practitioner and a Physician. The staff knows me and is always responsive. I am very satisfied and recommend The Gardens to anyone needing to take good care of their elderly loved one. Clay Norris

This is hands down one of the worst places I’ve ever dealt with, and I will never bring my father back here. Some of the staff actually care and do their jobs incredibly, BUT the management staff or whoever is running that place is an absolute disaster. They’re too busy with their own personal drama and conflicts between their own team to even focus on what actually matters, those who live there. It’s beyond unprofessional when I’m not even a patient, yet I still know who’s getting what treatment, who's getting fired and when, and why. How is that even acceptable? This company is a complete joke and clearly has no sense of privacy, respect, or accountability. Stay far away!
