Hello everyoneI had the privilege of visiting The Gardens of Ocitillo today and completed a tour with Candy. The community is very clean! The staff were all very friendly and all said Hello to me. The apartments are very specious with in-room washer and dryer, some had balconies and the kitchettes had a full kitchen large fridge and plenty of space for storage and counter top. So much to do and gorgeous places to enjoy at the community if you decide to go out of your community. I really feel this is a great community! Thank you Candy and team Gardens of Ocitillo.

Consider Gardens at Ocotillo, if you’re looking for a wonderful senior community for you (or your loved one). 🙂 My mother has been an “Independent living” resident since 2021, and we are SO glad that we found this place !(after researching at least 30 other places)They offer Independent, Assisted, and Memory Care. My mom has really been helped by the on site PT and OT, and enjoys the many activities. ( various games and bingo, crafts, trivia, singing,holiday events, activity bus (for offsite shopping and field trips). She has also benefited by using the mobile doctor, podiatrist and dermatologist visits (available and SO convenient!). I visit Gardens at Ocotillo several times a week, and have always found it to be clean, bright, updated …and it never has felt “clinical” to me. The dining area and menu offer a variety of food with options.Kim (at the front desk) and Lisa (financial office) are always VERY helpful and friendly. It’s such a comfort to know that my mom is safe and well cared for by the staff. Come visit soon - I’m sure you’ll be impressed.

Great care by community staff and excellent communication. The facility is always clean and welcoming, and communication with families is consistent and reassuring. It brings peace of mind knowing your loved one is safe, respected, and cared for with such compassion.

My mother was in need of assisted living while rehabilitating from a stroke. I didn't want to place her in a Medicaid assisted facility, so I visited a handful of places in the Chandler area and decided on this one. It outshined the rest by far, with a comparable price (at the time). The staff is very friendly and helpful in all aspects. The caregivers are always willing to help and even spend a few extra minutes loving on Mom's cat when they're in the apartment. The activities staff are always smiling and do a great job planning things to do for the residents, including holiday decorations, parties and field trips. The dining room staff always has new items on the menu, never letting it get boring. Can't forget Kim's welcoming smile at the reception desk, of course. The administrative staff has always been good to Mom and I and do their best to answer questions and fulfill requests. This, however, is the only thing that concerns me: Spectrum, the parent company, has parted ways with a few extraordinary administrative employees inexplicably. So you tend to see new faces in administration often. It's a very strange pattern. Besides that though, the landscaping is always perfect, and the facility is clean with nice furniture and decorations and fireplaces throughout the common areas. After a year, Mom is now able to move back into her home, so it's farewell for now. I don't regret selecting Gardens for the time needed at all, and I thank them for giving Mom a comfortable place to live this last year with all the support she needed.

I moved to the Gardens to be closer to my family. My apartment is lovely and I’ve met many friendly people. There are a lot of activities, from games to movies. We go out a lot on field trips to restaurants and museums. The staff is kind and make us feel like we are at home.

I set my appointment to tour the facility about four hours ahead via text and had several texts between us. The last text said that a representative would call shortly, however, after three hours I had heard from no one. Upon arrival at the time of my appointment, I was told that there were no appointments scheduled. The gracious lady at the front desk tried for 15 minutes to find someone to give me a tour. Finally, she was able to get Kenyata, whom I believe is the head of maintenance, to answer my questions and show me around. Kenyata did a great job of helping me around your facility and answering all of my questions.I think you may have an excellent facility and staff, however, I question the ability of management to lead this operation when they so poorly handled my appointment and tour. Two very bright spots were the front desk person, I'm sorry I didn't get her name, and Kenyata.

My Mother has lived at Gardens at Ocotillo in Memory Care for the past 2 years, 3 months. Many adjustments made over this time but for the last year+, runs like a well oiled machine. The Memory Care manager Thelma Watome her care staff, Activities Director, etc. are awesome. They understand the emotions and what you are going through. They do jot judge. My Mom is loved and treated like family. She is comforted by her friends (the other residents). Her room is kept clean. They are able to choose from a menu for their meals. The staff outside of the Memory Care also care for those in Memory Care when needed and they find joy in doing it. They know my Mom. I understand it is a difficult decision to place your loved one in this new environment. Trust in the process of adjustment. Soon you will feel relief knowing they are cared for at The Gardens. -P.

As a business owner myself I have continued to be impressed with the level of service, the quality of care, cleanliness of the facility and the constant communication that this senior living facility provides. My Dad has been a resident there for almost 2 years and things continue to get better and better. We researched and visited many facilities here in the valley before deciding on this one as my Dad has previously been at another community that was not a place I would recommend. Gardens of Ocotillo stand far above the rest and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place for their loved ones. Even through the crazy Covid year they have been absolutely AMAZING and their transparent communication has been greatly appreciated. Each time I am there it is so obvious how much they love each one of their residents. I have several friends who’s parents are in other communities in the valley and unfortunately they don’t have great things to say and it’s such a shame. I am so great full for everyone who works there and cares so much for my sweet Dad. 5+ stars all around to them.

I would give 6 stars if I could! The Gardens of Ocotillo is so great with my grandpa Bob. I was so hesitant with finding the right fit for my family but I couldn’t be happier. Besides the fact that it’s beautiful and up-kept, the staff here really does love what they do. It’s such a community feel which is rare for these places! I used to work in several locations being a caregiver, so I can say first hand how great the people here are! Everyone seems to know everyone, and the energy is always so positive and warm. If you’re looking for a peaceful, inviting, engaging place for your loved one... this is it!

Look no further; this is the perfect place for you or your loved ones to live. I found this community for my parents, and they have lived in both assisted and independent apartments, either way, you cannot go wrong. The staff here is accommodating and friendly. They know and care about all of the residents. The apartments are beautiful, and the property includes a pool, a few different types of rec rooms, a gym, movie theater, and a library. The staff ensure there are a wide variety of activities each day, movies, trivia, bowling on the Wii (surprisingly popular), bingo, arts and crafts, themed meals, happy hours, various outings, etc. They've even been known to have specialists come in for hands-on assistance with handheld devices for residents. I really can't say enough how grateful I am for the Gardens at Ocotillo and their staff.The precautions they've taken to ensure residents have been safe during COVID has been outstanding. Meals to their rooms ( based off the resident ordering from a menu in advanced), regular communications including town hall meetings from the doorways of their apartments, no non-essential outside visitors, etc. I'm happy and comfortable with my family being a member of this community.If you're looking for yourself or a family member, I highly recommend visiting this community.

I visited the Gardens of Ocotillo and was immediately impressed. Of course their building is beautiful, but what impressed me the most was the staff interaction with their residents, the smiles on the residents faces and you could truly see the staff loves what they do. I was toured by Dave and he was kind and warm. He knew the residents names and as he toured me he would always greet his residents as they passed by. I would definitely recommend this community if your looking for a place that will keep your loved engaged and happy.

The Gardens & Staff are Great!Our mother has lived at the Gardens for almost 2 years. Recently she moved to a new larger apartment. The staff, especially Tammy Ojwang, Executive Director, was helpful, expeditious and efficient throughout the entire process. She kept us informed at each step of the process, ensuring my mother's care and happiness with the change was paramount, keeping the family fully informed. The Gardens is a beautiful facility, well appointed with awesome staff & leadership. We and our mother is extremely happy living at the Gardens! We highly recommend this complex!!

We spent six months looking into facilities that offered assisted living choices for our 95 year old mother. We looked online and visited many facilities in the area. We chose the Gardens at Ocotillo for a number of reasons and have not been disappointed.There was never a hard sell, which we appreciated. The facility is gorgeous and there are beautiful seasonal touches throughout the common areas. Mom’s apartment is perfect for her. She even has her own washer and dryer in the apartment! The caregivers and staff are incredibly kind to Mom and truly love what they do. If Mom rings the buzzer, somebody promptly shows up to assist her.Our goal is for Mom to get the help she needs, but to do as much for herself as she is able. The staff has made that happen. She gets the help she needs, which might be different one day from the other. We have been able to specify what daily and weekly needs work for her. Mom is very sharp, so if something isn’t working, she would tell us!Mom loves to dine. Cloth napkins and a beautiful dining room with a full menu is available. She can order off the menu or from the two specials of the day. The dining staff seems to know just what special touch is needed for each resident.Activities are numerous! There are special events on a regular basis…singers and professional groups come to the facility for seasonal entertainment. Once each month there is an extra special dinner that is focused on a certain color. Residents dress up and seem to love the special evening. Mom goes to exercise class during the week, and has a standing appointment at the hair salon. When she needed physical therapy, she was able to get quality rehab at the facility, which was very helpful to her.The facility is large enough to find people who Mom enjoys, but small enough where the caregivers and staff know Mom.We have had great communication with the caregivers and administrators.Our extensive search has been successful! Mom has now been at the Gardens at Ocotillo for 16 months. She originally told us she lived at the “Meadows”…and we’d know she was home when she called it the “Gardens”. It’s been the “Gardens” for over a year!

The Gardens at Ocotillo has created such a beautiful environment of love, caring, laughter and community. My parents moved in about a year ago, and it was one of the best decisions we ever made. The entire staff treats the residents with respect and kindness. After my dad past away, Mom was surrounded by people who truly cared and showered her with love, both from the other residents and the staff. I can't say enough about the Gardens at Ocotillo.. Thank you for all you do!
