A place like home

I had the pleasure of visiting The Gardens of Pelham when they had their Fall Festival for the residents. I was particularly impressed with the decorations, gaming stations, the food, the involvement of the Administrator, staff members and residents' family members. Everyone participated in the activities to ensure the residents and their guests each enjoyed themselves. The overall atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. It truly was an ideal environment that makes everyone feel like they belong and like they were part of one big family. I would totally recommend this place to anyone who is seeking a home for their loved one in an Assisted Living facility.

Fall Festival

I was a vendor. My business is I am a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant. I witnessed excitement in the air. The residents and employees were very excited about the different activities that they took part in. I think my favorite was the cake walk. There was a whole lot of love in the atmosphere.

Thank you for attending the Veterans Day event and for sharing your positive feedback. Without the service of veterans, like your husband, we would not have the freedoms we have today. The annual Veterans Day ceremonies are a fitting tributes to the America’s heroes which choose to call the Gardens of Pelham their home. We are so pleased that you enjoyed the event.

Positive review of The Gardens at Pelham

I never thought that we would be able to find a place that is so perfect for my mom! She has been at The Gardens for the last 6 to 7 months and we could not be happier. She is enjoying all the residents as there is perfect gathering spots for them to visit and wonderful outdoor spaces. The meals that are prepared for her are delicious and nutritious. We are so grateful knowing that she is well taken care of and has been provided with such an excellent home environment. Thank you to [name removed], the Director, and all the staff for all that you do every day for my mom. We appreciate it so much.

We love this place and more importantly my mom LOVE it! The staff is excellent. VERY caring and attentive. They check in so often I overhear them checking on her and asking if she needs anything every time I’m there for a visit and also when I’m on a phone call with her. They take care of so many things that she doesn’t have to worry about. Excellent activities going on each day. Gardens of Pelham has given our family so much peace of mind!!!!

The Gardens of Pelhem is AWESOME!

I visited the Gardens of Pelhem where we recently moved my mom into and it’s beautiful. The staff is awesome and very attentive. The rooms and common areas are very nice and laid out well. They have activities planned for the residents and a van for local trips. I had a pleasant visit at this very nice community. If you’re considering moving a family member into an assistant living facility you should visit the Gardens of Pelham.

Very warm, home-like atmosphere.

We were searching for an assisted-living facility for my MIL who had been in rehab after surgery for a femur fracture. We found a lot of assisted-living places did not provide enough assistance for her. Our only alternative was skilled nursing. But, we found exactly what we needed at the Gardens of Pelham. It is a smaller facility that provides individualized care to every resident. They have wonderful outdoor areas where residents can sit outside and socialize. All the staff are friendly and responsive. The meals are served hot and are delicious (according to my MIL). The administrator is on-site. She checks in with us when we visit to be sure there are no issues or concerns. I give the Gardens of Pelham a 5 star recommendation without hesitation.

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
