What this means for your family

52 reviews on Google“The Terraces at San Joaquin Gardens is highly regarded by long-term independent residents for its vibrant community, beautiful grounds, and comprehensive amenities that reduce the burdens of home maintenance. However, there are serious, recurring allegations regarding the skilled nursing and medical care components, specifically concerning understaffing, delayed medication, and poor hygiene. Families should weigh the excellent lifestyle of the independent living wing against the documented risks in the clinical care areas.”

Key Review Excerpts
“I can say with no reservations, that choosing TSJG over the half dozen or so alternatives here in Fresno that I checked out, was the best retirement decision of my life.”
“This facility and its staff are fantastic! The room, the meals, the administrative staff, the medical staff and the therapy staff are the best ever!”
“My mom’s friend Joy has lived there almost 15 years and seemed to loved it. My mom hadn’t heard from her and she didn’t answer her phone. She learned from a mutual friend that Joy is in extended care at this place. My mom called and left messages twice to learn the status of her best friend over the last two months and hasn’t heard one word back from this business.”
