What this means for your family

Somerset Gardens is widely praised for its compassionate staff and vibrant activities, making it a strong contender for memory care. However, because a few families have reported communication lapses and concerns regarding the consistency of care, we recommend asking specifically about their protocols for notifying families during medical incidents and what their process is for handling resident health changes.

Key Review Excerpts

My almost deaf, 99yr old father with dementia Iived at Cottage for the last 8 months of his life. Jazzmine, the case manager, made sure he was well cared for and content. Jazzmine kept me updated on his status and was always upbeat with him.

Memory care family member · 2023★★★★★

My mother lived independently there for two years and enjoyed many of the activities offered through the terrific recreation department. (Hugs to Barbara and Stephanie!) Canasta, MaJong, movies, painting, and Bingo were just some of her favorites.

Independent living family member · 2024★★★★★

My father entered the memory care unit of Somerset Gardens almost a year ago and despite having dementia he seems to be enjoying a higher quality of life than when he was home. We believe this is due to the wonderful staff who take great care of him.
