Our family's experience
There is not enough staff and they have forgotten to come in the morning at least 8 times to get mom for breakfast. They leave her downstairs after a meal for hours before someone comes to push her back to her room. The apartment size is ok. She can wait for hours after pushing the button for help. She is moving out at the end of the month.

My brother and Dad attended a tour of Gardens of Virginia Beach on [removed date]. They shared the experience with me. [removed name] showed the facility and the resident rooms. The rooms were spacious and clean. The veteran discount of [removed rate]is very appreciated. There seemed to many amenities and the atmosphere of the GVB was happy and bright. Overall, it was a good experience and the room rental cost is within our price point.

Review for The Gardens of Virginia Beach
They were helpful with care of my Mom and benefits that she qualified for. Staff were caring and informative. No it was a good experience and the staff that I dealt with were gentle and caring but she was in hospice care her entire stay and had meals delivered to the room and was unable to participate in the activities outside of her apartment. They kept a close eye on her day and night. provided for her wants and needs kept her clean and dry and fed. I really can't go into more detail at this time.

WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME AND FAMILY
I was impressed with the facility and the staff instantly when I visited. This is a very friendly / family oriented environment. My sister and I did the initial interview and tour and [name removed] was great. Every staff member and resident we passed spoke to us, some residents were so friendly they allowed us to visit their apartments to visually see the set up and how cozy the rooms could be. My mother had a delay in moving into her new apartment but we were still invited to come and enjoy the Thanksgiving meal with the other residents. Wonderful staff and they welcomed us all personally, even the chef. ? Location was a big factor, we felt right at home when we walked in and have continued to feel the same with each visit. We felt that our mother would feel at home here vs some of the other facilities. We visited 5 different centers and we experienced poorly kept locations, some with residents that didn't speak to the staff or us as we passed them in the hallway, didn't give the family feeling.

Keep looking
One staff member in the dining room "waiter" is not friendly and shouldn't be working there. Nursing staff don't communicate with each other so no one knows what's going on. I relay info and they say ok and that's it. I have to keep reminding them to give my mom a shower even though she is supposed to be on a shower schedule it will be a full week and I have to say something to them this has happened more than once. You are supposed to be able to visit 24/7 but they lock the doors at 8 and no one answers the doors. Me and one of the nurses got into it and she had a very bad attitude and nothing has been done about it. She just laughed at my concerns. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone!!

very nice facility, highly recommend
Everything was explained well. The place is very nice. I wish my mom n law was there instead of [facility name removed]. I think the Gardens is much nicer and more affordable. My only issue there was when Ward fell . 1 they didn't call me right away and 2. They didn't honor the instructions to send him to ports naval hospital. Said ambo must go to closest. I'll never know if they would have taken him to the hospital with his doctors and medical records if he would have lived longer. He had horrible care at the local hospital and died 10 days later. If they had called me when they found him things might have been different. I never complained to them as overall I think it's a really good place!! It was the head nurse who made the call. That was my issue. Otherwise I have positive things to say and would recommend it to people

Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about our community. I am the Area Manager and am sorry for your loss and understand how difficult this must be for you. In emergency situations, EMTs are obligated to transport individuals to the nearest hospital to provide immediate care, and their decision is guided by protocols designed to prioritize the resident's safety. While we strive to communicate with families promptly in times like this, emergencies can unfold quickly, and we regret if this added to your distress. Your recommendation and overall positive remarks mean a lot to us, and I invite you to to reach out to me directly if you’d like to discuss this further,

Review for The Gardens of Virginia Beach
I would say that they have done an excellent job with our unique situation. Both my mom and my dad are there, and they have done a wonderful job managing conflict between them, and caring for the different levels of me that they both have. My dad needs a very high level of care as he's immobile, and their staff is always on the ball with taking care of his every need. And my mom has memory issues and they do a great job managing that as well. They both seem very happy, and management has always worked with us for anything we need. They seem to enjoy the food almost every single day, and we are blessed to have this place for my parents. Also, it is an excellent value compared to many others that we looked at.

Our Experience
Since my brother first moved to The Gardens of Virginia Beach, the faculty turnover seems to have been high. Because I live out of town, it's difficult for me to speak with someone at the facility concerning the status of my brother. I must say though, that the permanent staff did work with him patiently to help him get adjusted to his new surroundings. Overall, the facility has been a good place for my brother to live.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Virginia’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Virginia’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

A Place for Mom has scored The Gardens of Virginia Beach 9.1 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
