Garden Estates of Tyler was very good. I liked it. I wish I could move in there. It seemed very family oriented. The apartment was large, and they had a library, a place for puzzles, activity room, and activities happening almost all the time. It’s just very pretty and nice, and everybody was very friendly. The dining area was very nice. The tables were set very nicely with flowers on the table. It was very pretty. They have a private dining room that was very pretty with a large table and artwork if you want to do something special for your immediate family. It was very nice.

“Garden Estates is a large facility that allows a lot of space and recreation area for its patients. The grounds look more like an apartment complex since it comes with a large garden area and walking paths outside. Inside the building offers a large dining area and game rooms in which they offer several different games throughout the week. I love the activities they offer to their residents to keep them active and involved. I also love that the facility bus makes almost daily trips to wherever patients need to go. Clearly, these employees respect their residents and want to make them feel at home, and are doing a great job of it.” – Kay28

“My husband and I have lived here for five months and really love it. He has Parkinson and needed more assistance than I could take care of at home and after checking out a couple of homes we chose this one. So far we are really amazed at the caring staff of aides and the loving care they have given him. Food is really good with great menu selections and great service. So thankful to have such a great place to live and call home.” – Gertie

“Before my great-grandmother passed away, she resided at Garden Estates of Tyler. At first our family was apprehensive about having to place her in an assisted living facility. However, when we toured Garden Estates and met the caregivers, we were impressed with the level of care they showed for their residents. The rooms are spacious and brightly-lit, and there is a cheerful atmosphere that is often lacking in elder care facilities. A grand piano is located in the dining room, and oftentimes music is played during meals. In my opinion, they go above and beyond in their care of their residents, because they provide not only for their physical needs, but their emotional and social needs as well. There are weekly and monthly activities, as well as fun activities for every holiday. The caregivers seem to genuinely enjoy their work and their residents, and it made for a very warm atmosphere for my great-grandmother. I think it is a great facility.” – Katherine Price
