The Gardens of Port St. Lucie

I would definitely recommend this community. It is clean and they are attentive. They are very positive, sunny bright and happy. Everyone's moods and attitudes also reflect this happiness. The food and dining is also excellent. The cost compared to other places locally is also affordable and better.

I feel like it's too enclosed. There's a not a lot to do. They have a little living room area and an outside courtyard. But I don't ever see anything goin on in the courtyard or anybody using it. One time, months ago, they had a singer come in and sing Sinatra songs, but I haven't seen anything like that since then. Sometimes a staff member will play games with them or do trivia questions. They don't take them anywhere. So I guess my biggest complaint is with Covid, there's not a lot going on. The residents don't seem to be very happy. But I feel that the staff are very attentive. They keep things very clean. My loved one doesn't have to wait when she has a need. They give them their meds on time and take them to meals on time. She hasn't had any complaints about the food. She likes the staff. I just wish there was more to do. Also, mobility is an issue. Because the facility is so small, there's no place for her to park her scooter. And because of that, she feels like they discourage her using her scooter. When I've talked to them, they say they're concerned that she can't control it.

Our family had a tour experience and the sales person was extremely good, they were offering up all the deals to get us to move our loved one in. However it is an older facility, which made it just feel old. We did not like right when you walked in, people were crowding around it felt congested. Also they AC was attached to the windows in the apartments which were small, we know our loved one would of not been able to work that AC unit and we would of preferred to have central air.
