My father currently lives in Garden Estates of Corpus Christi. The staff is very, very friendly. They're great with communication. They have updated rooms that are very roomy. They have a great garden area and a courtyard for outside relaxing time. They have games like bingo, workout activities, happy hour on Thursdays, musical guitarists that come in to perform, and stuff like that. They seemed to have a good variety of activities.

My mother has been at Garden Estates in Corpus Christi for a month now. It was a little rough at first but because of the staff there, I would say that it has been excellent. Andy and Brandon really bent over backward to make things work for us. The facility is very good, but she's complained a little bit about the food. We get information about the activities, but she can't join in. There's a room where I've seen the residents playing bingo, watching movies, and having parties with music -- there's always something going on. We were talking to the residents, and they said it was good that they have a lot of activities for them. They all seemed happy with them.

Garden Estates of Corpus Christi has multiple floors. The empty room we saw was clean and nice. They were having the food catered in at the time because they had a problem in their kitchen. I saw a couple of residents sleeping in chairs in the entryway, but I didn't see any activities going on. I went to both their independent and assisted living facilities. They had a pool table and a hangout room. The person who assisted me was great.

My mother is a resident in the assisted living level of Garden Estates of Corpus Christi. Of the ones that we visited, it met everything that we needed, from the size to the kind of care that we needed for her. She said the food is OK and that it's fine. She plays bingo, although she can't really see, but she has fun doing that. Thursdays they have wine and cheese, so she goes to listen to the music and visit with the people there. When they have people come in to play music she goes and listens. She's doing various activities there right now. There's always room for improvement, and the community is not perfect, but my mother is very happy. We couldn't have picked a better place for her. She's been very pleased with them. We definitely would have loved for the price to be cheaper.

This is an awesome place! I love it, culture, food, among many other things. I love that they provide exercise and wellness activities. The Sales Director Theo is amazing, he made us feel great about our decision and answered all our questions, he still calls us to make sure we are doing ok and making sure we have all the info we need. The amount of attention he offers after Mom moved in is A1. They also provide great meals to the guests. It is located in a peaceful community on the Southside of town. I met some really awesome residents there who are very happy to stay in a place like this.

Garden Estates of Corpus Christi is wonderful. I could not compliment them enough. Mom is living in a very clean apartment with new paint and carpet. She gets attention from the staff and is very happy. They make sure she gets to meals and activities. We love it.

The staff of Garden Estates seemed very helpful and very caring. It was very clean, and the rooms were very nice. I liked the layout and spaciousness of the rooms. We didn’t get to see too much of the place, but it appeared to be very nice.

I really liked Garden Estates. The people were friendly. The whole atmosphere was inviting. The layout was easy to navigate, and every room that I visited was nice. When I get older, I would like to use that facility. It was nice. I liked that it was close. There was a place of fellowship, and I liked the idea that my parents would be able to have church there or be taken to their church. They would take them for doctors' visits, too. My brother-in-law's mother was there, and she liked it. That's where I would like my parents to go.

Garden Estates of Corpus Christi was beautiful, very clean, and very well organized. The staff was extremely friendly, very knowledgeable, and were a big help in answering questions. I liked their rooms the best. I thought they were bigger than the other rooms that I saw. They had better closets than some of the other places that we looked at, and they were bright and clean. We were able to try some scones before we left, and they were delicious. The dining area was very spacious and was centrally located. Their menu had a lot of choices, and they seemed to be the most accommodating. I told them that my dad liked to eat a lot of sandwiches, and they said they will make him a sandwich anytime.

I liked Garden Estates of Corpus Christi, and I really liked the representative Tanya because she was very helpful and knowledgeable. It's just that even though they accepted pets, you had to physically walk them out to a pet area, and my sister was still on a wheelchair and she was on a walker, and she has 2 little dogs; we just thought it would be too difficult for her to get up in the middle of the night to go to take them out.

I was not really pleased with Garden Estates. My mother-in-law didn’t like the food, so we had to get her out of there. We had to put up a $3,000 move-in fee, and you don’t get that back if you move out.

The Garden Estates was excellent from what I observed from the staff and the tour. Everything was on point. The food was good, the common room was very cozy and friendly, and the activities room seem to offer a wide variety of stuff. I tried the food, and it was good.

Garden Estates was close by to my home. They had activities in the dining hall such as games and music. They provide transportation for doctors' appointments. The staff was knowledgeable and very helpful.

Garden Estates was very formal. The staff was very knowledgeable, and the rooms were nice, but they were upstairs, and I was looking for something on the first floor. There are spacious rooms that are about 5 ft., and you can turn around in a wheelchair. They had a calendar full of activities. There was gambling, bingo, and a movie night or something like that. I saw their dining rooms, and they had one for people in the independent living and another one for those in assisted living.

The rooms were nice at Garden Estates. They just do not have enough help. We had eaten a few meals with my mother-in-law there, and they had good food. The dining room was nice. They had activities like watching movies, card games, and jigsaw puzzles. They also went to different places.

My mother lives in Garden Estates, and when they first moved in, she was for rehab but they needed to be in assisted living. They insisted that they have two baths. Dad also used to live there, and they have a studio apartment. They put a door in the wall to make it two bedrooms, and they also have two kitchens. My father was an avid cook, so he continued to cook, and my mother says stay out of my kitchen because I’m not cooking anymore. My father died last May at the facility, and the care that we received is simply indescribable. He was so loved by the staff and management. They have bingo, outings, church services, exercise classes, card games, and weekly entertainment. They celebrate all the holidays and birthdays. My only issue is the medication management needs a lot to be desired. I would recommend it, but I would tell them about medication management.

I really like Garden Estates, but my mom is not ready yet to move to a facility. It looks really clean and it didn’t smell. The staff as well as the residents were friendly. The residents were recommending the place to us and they were telling us that they are comfortable there. They have little apartments with a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and a little kitchen. The room was so close to the lobby that my mother would not have to walk to the long hall if we have moved her in there.

Garden Estates was very nice. The food was good. The staff was very nice, very helpful and very friendly. Environment was good. It was a possibility for my father but it was not what we need for my mother because they didn't have a locked unit for her. She has to be in a secured environment.

Garden Estates is not that not expensive but it didn’t appeal to us that much. It was like a nursing home. It was smaller. They were nice and friendly. The dining area looked fine. The residents were less active, less energetic and less enthusiastic.

Recently we toured Garden Estates as possible assisted living site for my step-mother who recently had surgery for a broken knee. We were overwhelmed by the excellent facilities and staff. A room was completely refreshed and refurnished and selected in the perfect location for access to the dining area and very attractive activity rooms. My wife and I are very optimistic about the future care and social life for this long time resident of Corpus Christi. My mother-in-law's reaction was very positive and led to an easy transition from her home of 46 years. She hopes to recover from her knee surgery and be able to return home, but we feel very comfortable that she will be able to adjust to and enjoy Garden Estates as her new home for as long as is necessary. We deeply appreciated the attention to details and thorough review of the facilities and care givers provided by Gae, the Director of Sales and Marketing!

I also visited Garden Estates, and I liked them as well. The staff was excellent and upbeat. The director was wonderful. What I liked about it was that it had assisted living and nursing in the same building. They were just across from each other. I would highly recommend it.

We went to Garden Estate, and it was fine as well. It was very clean with a nice layout. The staff was very helpful and nice. The tour that we had there wasn't quite as expensive. The apartments also had nice layout, but I had to go back to search for some of the rooms the guide overlooked, probably because the person who toured us was not the normal person who does the tours. We saw some of the activities they were doing. We were there during mealtime, but were not offered a meal. The dining area didn't look very inviting because it was dark. It reminded me more of a school cafeteria than a dining room

My mother already knew some people that live at Garden Estates of Corpus Christi that's why we chose this one. Garden Estates has many wings so when we saw this one wing, that's fairly new, we like it. It's brighter, cheerier, and more decorated, whereas the other wings looked a little drab. A lot of facilities smell like urine but this one doesn't have any kind of odor to it. Mainly I think it's the staff that we were convinced with that would take good care of my mother. The staff seems to be very caring. They're great. When my mother had a lab appointment with her cardiologist and there was a problem with her insurance, they called me asking about her insurance. I don't think many facilities would do that, but they really care. I was very pleased with them. Also my mom is pleased with everything there. Her room is a big one-bedroom with a bathroom and it is just exactly what she needs. In order for her to get to the dining room, she has to go down three long hallways, so that she is getting more exercise now than she did at her apartment, so it's been good for her. Their food is warm and nutritious. She gets more food than she needs there. For activities, they have some things she enjoys. They have a game call money bingo and they have entertainment that would come in. Before Christmas, they had choirs that came in from different churches. The only thing we don't like is that they don't have any pastors come in with the Lutheran religion. What I like best about this facility is just the security and knowing that she's in a safe place and she is being cared for there. She's just in good hands.

I would recommend Garden Estates of Corpus Christi. This is an excellent facility. The facility is clean. They have transportation, activities, shopping trips, etc. They even have a hairdresser on property. Mom is a current resident there and their care is excellent. It is a very nice facility. I would recommend this place to friends and family.

The Garden Estates of Corpus Christi was nice. The staff was very helpful; she called me numerous times to see how things were going even though we weren't using their services. I thought their prices were very fair, they were way less than anywhere else in the country, and the place was clean.

My grandmother recently moved in here and so far we have been very disappointed with her care. She had a surgery that required pain medication for recovery. When the dosage was incorrect, they took it away from her and left her with NO medication until she could get a new prescription from the doctor. Really?! You're going to leave a post knee surgery senior with NO pain medication?? What kind of place is this?? This is only one of many issues we've had. My grandmother was already sad she wasn't able to live unassisted anymore. This place has NOT made the transition any better. She has fallen into even deeper depression. Thanks for everything Garden Estates.

Garden Estates has been a great place so far. Garden Estates is split literally done the middle. Half of the building is assisted living, and the other half is for retirement living; whose majority of the residents are retired military. The staff is great from what i have seen. There are recreational areas, arts and craft, and also gets frequented by performers for entertainment. The only downside is the food, from what Im told. It could be better.

We visited the Garden Estates Of Corpus Christi Assisted Living Community while out looking at facilities to consider for our aunt. We could tell as soon as we arrived that this is a well-tended place. The circular drive and carport looked more like a high end hotel than a place where seniors might live. The staff was very caring and professional, explaining the entire process from start to finish. The front area had fragrant fresh flowers and plenty of nice greenery, as did the back yard area. Residents are free to enjoy the area with supervision nearby. There were nice walkways and seating areas as well, where families and friends may gather. The food was cooked to perfection. We got to see the main kitchen, where fresh bread was baking, and homemade soups were being made. They also make their own salad dressings. Lots of fresh vegetables and fruits are available at all times. The food at this facility rivals that of a 5 star hotel. The communal rooms were all lovely and nicely decorated, with plenty of nice natural light -- which made for a cheery atmosphere. The residents all looked they were really content. The list of activities was comprehensive, from library to local outings, they do it all. They have regular socials where people come from the community, as well. This facility had exceptional atmosphere, level of care and food -- everything a senior needs to live a vibrant and content life -- under the best circumstances possible.
