I found The Hearth at Castle Gardens for my husband and he's very happy there. This is the second home he has been in, and this one is perfect. They care about him, they're taking care of him, and they keep me informed of what's going on. The reason why I chose this community was the caring staff that was there.

My parents are now residing at The Hearth at Castle Gardens. They've been very helpful, and they've gone beyond. When I'm asking them to do different things in there, they would take care of it. Of course, the storm didn't help things here for a few days, but they're finally getting back into running things the way they would normally run them. If you ask them something, they take care of it.
My parents have only been there a week, and three days of that was when the storm hit. They have a lot of things on their agenda to do, so that's good. Right now, the food is okay. In three days, they had to have food brought to them because of the storm. They have a bigger kitchen in the room. They don't have to cook. The room is very clean. They clean the rugs, and they make sure they are clean. They painted and fixed things and did some things that I asked them to do. The staff have all been very nice. The building itself is very nice. They have everything they could want. The dining hall looks like a little dinette, which is cute. They have a gym room for them to do exercises, balance things, or games. They get together and play bingo once in a while.

We toured The Hearth at Castle Gardens and we looked at both the assisted and memory care. My mom's kind of in-between and she could go either way. She could do the assisted but eventually, go to memory care.
It's beautiful, welcoming, clean, and just a very nice place. It has lots of flowers and things like that.
The staff was all wonderful. They knew every single person by name, all the people that were there.
The rooms were nice. They're not tiny, tiny, and they had different sizes to accommodate different needs. If they're in memory care, they don't have the kitchen, but in assisted living, they have a kitchen.
The place was just very open and has easy access. They had a salon and they had areas for games and little activities for people. There was a TV room, too. There was also an enclosed garden for the memory care people. It's all nice.
I think everyone I had any contact with was very friendly.

I like everything about The Hearth at Castle Gardens. It was a nice size. It wasn't too large or overwhelming. The staff members were all very friendly. It would allow my mother to age in place, since they have memory care. They had asked when I visited by myself, what my mother's interests were. Chocolate is one of her favorite interests in the whole wide world. Their chef actually made chocolate chip cookies for her, so they are just so nice and so attentive; no pressure, no push. It just felt very homey and welcoming. Even my mother was impressed. She said it was not what she was expecting. The rooms were large. She could have her dog there with her. Everything that she had thought would be deal breakers in looking for a place, they had. It would accommodate her needs. If the time comes, this is definitely the place that she would go. The activities and everything was just really what she said she wanted.
They have all sorts of activities, including virtual reality. They have headsets. Once or twice a week, they do virtual reality field trips. They also provide transportation to do trips, shopping trips, and other things. It's located right near a walking path, and my mom likes to walk with her dogs. They have a walking club, sing-alongs, and a whole schedule of varied activities throughout the day for all sorts of interests.

The tour we had at The Hearth at Castle Gardens was great. The woman that showed us was knowledgeable and helpful. It was a nice place. They would help with medication and bathing. The dining room was nice. They would do laundry. It was clean. There were no residents doing anything when we were there, but I guess they have puzzles. They have a library, and they go on trips.

My Father lived at Castle Gardens for years and he loved it there. They gave him his independence but always looked out for him. They loved my father and he loved them. I highly recommend Castle Gardens. The staff is wonderful, food good and the administrator is so kind. If you have a parent that needs some help but can no longer be safe alone in their own home Castle Gardens is an excellent option.

The Hearth at Castle Gardens didn't really impress me. It's a large establishment, and the room available was like a half mile away from the dining facility. Even the gal there wasn't that warm, she was young, and she kind of rubbed me in the wrong way. They had dining areas in different areas. The facility seemed clean, but they were expensive. They had a little sitting area with TV in there.

I liked the Hearth at Castle Gardens and its rooms. It was clean, and the people were friendly. There weren’t any activities happening at the time I was there, but they showed me a calendar of events. The room they showed me was an efficiency with a small kitchenette, living room, and a separate bedroom and separate bathroom. Everything was good, and it was very easy to get to.

The Hearth was a very nice place, but unfortunately my father can’t afford it. The staff was friendly and gave us a lot of information. The apartments were clean and nice size. The residents looked happy.

We visited Castle Gardens, and it was very nice. They gave us a good tour, it was more than adequate for me, and it met what I was looking for. I thought it was physically pleasing and clean, and the apartments were fine. I thought the services provided were fine, the meals and menu looked good, and the director was nice and personable. I liked talking with her.

The Hearth at Castle Garden is very nice. My only issue with it is that it is pricey and, of course, they take no Medicaid whatsoever. The facility itself is very nice. It’s clean, no foul odors to it, and the staff is very pleasant. The dining room looks very nice. I know they have a couple of different choices; it was not just one for all.

The Hearth at Castle Gardens is a wonderful place! My Mom lives there and feels safe, comfortable, and enjoys the family atmosphere. Everyone is very caring and it starts at the Front Desk with Carol when you walk in the door! We (Mom's family) are very happy she is living there. We know she is safe, in a very nice apartment and well cared for. Thank you to all at The Hearth at Castle Gardens!

We were very impressed when we toured The Hearth. They informed us of what we needed to know, what to do, and to call them if we had any questions. The staff were awesome. They were well trained in how to deal with dementia patients. I thought the setup was perfect for somebody in the state of mind that my mother-in-law was in. They had a nice patio where the residents can go outside even though they can’t leave.

My father recently moved into The Hearth at Castle Gardens, and the experience has been very good and positive. Everything has been great - staff, other residents, the apartment, services, activities, and meals. No complaints, at all.
The community is not very large, and I think that is a plus - it's more home-like and easier to know the staff and residents. My father quickly acquired new friends, with whom he shares meals, card games, and other activities. The activities are plentiful and are a good mix of physical and mental exercise, and they encourage companionship with other residents. The recent holiday party was first class!
I highly recommend this facility!

Castle Gardens has apartments for their assisted living, so that was really nice. They have one-bedroom apartments with a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom.

My sister and her husband used to live in the Hearth, and it was very nice. The activities were good if you chose to participate in them. The rooms were very nice and very well-maintained. I liked the staff best.
