Key Review Excerpts

The care at Castle Gardens has been excellent for my mother in the Memory Care unit. We are thankful for this excellent care. They are always very pleasant and keep up with all aspects we expect.

Memory care family member · 2022★★☆☆☆

My husband Everett resided in your enhanced memory care unit until he passed away a month ago after yet another emergency room visit (unbelievably, my notes indicate there were 17 in all).

Memory care family member · 2023★★☆☆☆

Cost cutting corners everywhere. Now price is going up. Food is marginal at best, dried out meats, cold food.
