While many praise the high quality of care and the facility's ability to provide a sense of safety for those with dementia, one historical review raised serious concerns regarding room lighting and laundry management.

Key Review Excerpts

I love Richman Gardens! My parents had been there for several years after being treated poorly at Sunrise Senior living! Every day they packed up and asked us to get them out! We moved them into Richman Gardens and they have never packed up again!

Long-term resident's family · 2018★★★★★

The grounds are beautiful, well maintained, and safe and feel more like a park-like setting than a memory care facility. The staff is INCREDIBLE! Compassionate, empathic, trustworthy, approachable, and respectful are just a few words to describe the Richman Gardens' family.

In-laws' family member · 2017★★★★★

We could not have been more pleased with the care my mother-in-law received these past three months at Richman Gardens. With her Alzheimer's, Mom had been confused for several years but did OK under her husband's care at home. However, the day she began to "wander," we knew we had to do something quickly, and the Richman director did everything needed to help us make a speedy and smooth transition
