The Gardens of Port St. Lucie

The BEST!! Upon entering the Gardens for the first time, I felt the welcoming,the warmth that grew as I met Kristie,Maria and more staff. Kristie our host is infectious, with a smile that comes from within her and tells me how much she loves being an employee of The Garden. I called my grown children and shouted, 'I found the Perfect Place for Dad!! You will shout also, go to the Garden!!!

From the very beginning I felt very welcomed here. Everybody is very friendly and nice. All of my meals are taken care of. The staff are here whenever I need them.There is always someone around eager to help. The housekeeping and laundry staff is very nice and they do a phenomenal job. The sales process was very easy and it went by so fast. Kristi made it so easy for me and helped me pick the perfect apartment. They really take time to think of us before we arrive. The move in team is beyond amazing I could not think of anything better to say. The food here is amazing I am a finicky eater and I have not found anything bad about the food. The meals are nutritious and filling. I love the fact that they have a resident ambassador here to help us when we are in need. My table mates are awesome and they really make me laugh all the time. Laughter is a good medicine and we all need that. I love that the staff is cross trained and are trained for any situation. We do live in Florida so hurricane season is always scary and I love that the staff is here during that time. I don’t have anything bad to say about this community all staff are truly amazing and lovable. I am so happy that I found this community I wish I would of found this community years ago. The community is really 5 stars it lives up to the name.

Wonderful facility, the staff is so caring and enthusiastic. Feels like an extension to family. The minute you enter you feel the positive energy of all staff no matter what hr you arrive ( day and night shifts) The residents all seem happy and entertained with all the constant.activities. Christi and Maria did everything possible to accommodate my dads needs when he moved in. My father has been there 3 months and I can not be happier with the tender care he is receiving. He has gained weight and his medication is control thanks to med techs. Highly recommend Nikki

I turned to The Gardens of Port St. Lucie when my wife's medical needs were greater than I could provide at home. A family member's mother-in-law was a resident there, and she is thriving. This gave me a comfort level as I prepared for the transition to residential care for my wife. The staff listened carefully as I documented my wife's many medical issues. They assured me they could care for her. She now lives in a cozy apartment where she can have privacy and summon help whenever she needs it. My strongest impressions are these: - The facility is sunny, friendly, comfortable, and immaculately maintained. It feels good when I'm there. - Staff members at every level are well trained, hard working, and comfortable in their roles. - The dining room is carefully appointed, and the food is tasty, served by people who are eager to please. - The medical staff are professional and compassionate. - The caregivers take great pride in making residents comfortable and safe. - The Gardens' leadership are helpful in putting both the residents and their families at ease. - The Gardens is right across US1 from HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital. It is a 222-bed, full-service facility. It's minutes away from The Gardens of Port St. Lucie. - The residents express contentment about living at The Gardens. These factors and more have made me happy to have chosen The Gardens of Port St. Lucie for my wife's care.

Finding a wonderful place for a loved one is no easy task. We were fortunate that close family friends had spent time researching assisted living in the area. We ultimately chose The Gardens because of the friendly staff, the right size studio apartments, and the active community. Kristi and Marie were fantastic in answering our questions and helping Mom understand this was not a nursing home and would provide all the help she needed when she needed it. All of the staff showed up on move in day to introduce themselves which made Mom feel more comfortable. Some of the staff have been with The Gardens and sister property for over 15 years which shows that it isn't frequently turning over and that provides stability to our loved one. We are thankful that Mom now calls The Gardens "home".
