Azalea Gardens

This is our third try and it has proved the charm! Alzheimer's clients are outside all day being stimulated and supervised literally all the time. Built around a central courtyard with a large gazebo for constant activities and socializing, makes this facility the only facility I have seen in South Florida with a firm policy based on client comfort and quality life considerations. Lots of other facilities have beautiful garden areas, but, once your loved one needs supervision to be outside, he or she will likely never see the out of doors again and be stuck inside in a freezing cold TV room for the rest of their lives. There are regular outings scheduled about 3 times a week to parks, events, attractions, agencies and stores. The staff work outside which promotes a sense of well-being and comfort, enabling them to work with healthier, happier attitudes... No telephone texting while on duty, no TV watching, no huddled conversations and inappropriate comments in front of clients found in so many other health care facilities where staff are forced to work in closed, artificiality lit, excessively air-conditioned, stinky, stale rooms and halls. AG's owner is an engineer and a creative project creator and manager. His focus on creating an "outdoor paradise" and his insistence in creating individualized colorful comfortable rooms, a fine dining experience and an open kitchen has produced a client care facility where dignity prevails for all the senses. Honesty, transparency, creativity, the creation of activities to engage families, clients and staff, cleanliness and grooming based on the use alternative cleaning and grooming products, making being outside feeling the sun and breezes and smelling the fragrances of sub- tropical America, getting clients off site as much as possible represent just a few of the owner's values, goals and methods which have made this establishment an industry standard of the highest quality in both South Florida and the country as a whole and him the most sought after consultant and partner in the industry today. If you are interested in giving your loved ones the activity, care, comfort and dignity they deserve, you now have a choice in South Florida. Congratulations Azalea Gardens! So far... Just great!

I like the services here. The workers are very warm and compassionate. The office management is very good, especially Mary. I feel very protected here. The laundry is always taken care of. I can't ask for anything more. It is a good place to be.

I like everything about this place, especially when they take me out on the bus. I always enjoy going out. I have a lot of friends here. The workers are very nice to me. The food is very good and the room is always clean.

I enjoy sitting outside, drinking my cup of coffee, and watching the birds fly by. I love the felling of the cool breeze in my face. The caregivers are very good to me; they are always there fore me when I need them, no matter the time of day. The food is very good. It is a nice clean place, and I love living here.

I enjoy living here a lot. Housekeeping is great. I like the personal attention of the staff. I enjoy activities in the gazebo, especially trivia. And the meals are like home cooking.

The landscaping design and outdoors at Azalea Gardens is very stimulating. The staff at Azalea is very attentive to my needs, they are always willing to accommodate my food choses.

I will live here forever. It is just like my home that I've had before. I appreciate everything that they do for me here.

Azalea is very nice place to live. I greatly enjoy all of the outings that we go on from trips to the movies to trips to Broadway plays, we are always

exploring new places.

Don't trust or believe all of the similar five star reviews from October 2012. They all seem to be created by the staff of azalea gardens, not the residents. An investigation is pending.

I'm not a resident nor do I have family here. But I do have a concern after what i witnessed today. One of the caretakers at a park i was at w my kids completely mistreating the residents that were in his care.. I was mortified. I spoke to the caretaker who brushed me off as if it wasn't any of my business. I called to complain and the person I spoke w sounded genuinely concerned thank god. But I'm crossing my fingers what I witnessed was the first and last time something like this happens. Donut research before going here, just like any other assisted living home.
