Definitely Recommended
I would not hesitate to recommend Garden Estates to everyone. It is an exceptional place to live for those who need a little or even a lot of help. They are a wonderful administrative group with whom to work. It is active and social even with people in their 90's as my brother was. It is a good home, and we would go there if our family were closer to Temple. They are very busy with long work hours (engineers and estimators in administrative positions) and beginning to age themselves--and grandkids with little ones--who just can't travel that far just to visit. They come out here (50 miles) every weekend to mow and do odd jobs, but soon we will take more than that.

Would recommend
Garden estates is a fairly good place for people needing modest help with living. It's not for people needing a lot of care. Housekeeping could be improved but is adequate. Food is not necessarily consistently good or healthy. Transportation is limited. However the atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is kind and involved personally with the residents, and the rooms are larger than many I viewed. It takes most of my friend's pension to live there.

We were blessed to find Garden Estates
My family and loved one have had a great experience with the community. The staff are kind, caring, and knowledgeable. Everyone is friendly. There are wonderful activities for the residents to participate in. Overall, this is a community we would recommend to others for their loved ones. Two things in particular stood out to me: the place was spotless, it was obvious that sanitation was a priority; the other thing was the residence themselves; they were genuinely happy to be there, and it followed that they were extremely friendly.

Garden Estates…my home!!
I am a resident of Garden Estates Assisted Living Center in Temple, Texas. I have lived here for about eleven months, and truly think of it as home. There are many activities offered here, from games to talent brought in for performances. Just this week we had a “senior prom” with live entertainment, and which residents seem to enjoy. Once a week we have a Bible study led by a resident, which I enjoy. I don’t participate in everything offered, but many residents do. I enjoy the live performances of musicians. Garden Estates is an overall wonderful place, and I’m grateful to be able to live here.

Garden estates has been a good experience. They were very helpful in adjusting fees and in helping my friend get moved in and settled. Great that they had a handyman on premises who installed things. Food is not the best but otherwise no complaints. The staff is helpful I like that there are no levels of care tacked on to his rent. As long as he is pretty much able to navigate by himself he can stay there. If he requires more hands or attention then we will have to move him.

Great place for your loved ones
We had toured a few other communities and ultimately chose this one, and so far it has been a good experience. The staff members are extremely friendly and our loved one really loves the meals they serve. This community looks a lot nicer out of the others and it seems like it would be the most expensive but in reality, it was less then the others. Her apartment is much bigger, the common areas and dining room area is super nice. Based on our experience we would definitely recommend Garden Estates of Temple to other families.

Happy with our choice
As soon as I was interested I reached out to the person I worked with and she answered every question I ever had. Even to this day she is great if I ever have any questions she welcomes me into her office to help. We are very happy and have just gotten through the adjustment period. She is doing very well and I think it is a great facility. I would definitely recommend Garden Estates of Temple, but so so others know, there is limited space available.

Nice place, HORRIBLE MEALS
My mother is a resident and the staff are lovely people. It is very clean & updated decor with nice activities. The food has become a joke. Chicken nuggets one day, a greasy slice of pizza the next, green peas 5 out of 7 days. Not healthy at all. People are healthier and happier when served well balanced and fresh food options. I didn't want to give a poor review, but the management refuses to acknowledge the issue.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Texas regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Texas regulations for Assisted Living.
