As a Certified Senior Advisor, I recently placed a client into this wonderful facility and she and her family are incredibly pleased with the staff and services provided. After researching many communities in this area, I found their records to be impeccable which has been demonstrated through the staff and services provided to my client. I am so happy to provide them with a five star rating!

If you want your loved one to die, this is the place for you. Worst management I have ever worked with. Extremely rude and are guilty of some obscene practices. Basically behind closed doors they put those of their residents to work with chores even. They neglected my father so much, his health actually regressed while here. His doctor had to intervene more than once. Do not pay these people! I would give negative stars if I could.

Both of my grandparents have been living at Anitas Gardens. They love it and are doing very well there. The staff is very conpitent and kind. My grandma said if there is ever a staff member who doesnt work well at the facility, they will be asked to leave and replaced promptly. The activities director, Chris has been a family friend for quite a few years. She is incredibly dedicated to her job and is wonderful to each of the residents. I cannot say enough good things about Anitas Gardens. I would absolutely recommend this facility.
