My grandmother was 96 years old with demencia due to her varios medical diagnosis I was referred by her doctor to take in consideration looking at an Alf for future residency. I never believed an Alf could take care of a loved one better than family. Unfortunately I could not stop working to care for grandma. I went to visit a couple of Alf’s in the Tampa area when I finally went to Gardens of time ll I fell in love with the place. The facility was sparkling clean. From the residents room to the bathroom to the living area, laundry room and kitchen everything spotless. Three nurses working…
My grandmother was 96 years old with demencia due to her varios medical diagnosis I was referred by her doctor to take in consideration looking at an Alf for future residency. I never believed an Alf could take care of a loved one better than family. Unfortunately I could not stop working to care for grandma. I went to visit a couple of Alf’s in the Tampa area when I finally went to Gardens of time ll I fell in love with the place. The facility was sparkling clean. From the residents room to the bathroom to the living area, laundry room and kitchen everything spotless. Three nurses working daily plus one over night to attend the residents. The daily Breakfast, lunch and dinner plus snacks menu excellent. Gardens of Time Alf’s make their residents feel like family. The residents families could arrive at any time to visits and find everything perfectly clean and organized. Residents always bathed well dressed with their own clothes and always smelling good. Grandma always smelled like a baby the activities were amazing. The staff played music residents sang along, they had movie times. They celebrate all holidays amazing lunches for Mother’s Day, Fathers Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas and the residents Birthdays. The Owner Ana Rodriguez and daughter administrator Marta Medina were available 24/7. The nurses Yasiri, Maydelin, Carlos, Carmen, and Kety loved my grandma the were very caring , alert and attentive with her. It is sad to say my grandmother passed away 1/4/24 of natural causes. In my heart I loved and cared for her till her last breath. The staff of Gardens of time ll and the family will miss Grandma. I am so very glad and thankful to god I found Gardens of time to care for my grandmothers needs until she gained her wings and took her journey to heaven. There should be more ALF’s like Garden of times. A Place that I would like to live at when I become an elder. Thank you all.
In a nutshell, San Jose ALF is a Godsend. Originally, I had transferred my 93-year-old mother to another private ALF, but due to some questionable, last-minute changes by the owner, I needed to quickly find another facility. A family friend suggested San Jose ALF and I am glad that she did. As the facility is a converted home, it is located in a pleasant and quiet residential area. The house feels open and airy, rooms are comfortable and spacious (even the semi-private ones!), and owners Jose and Fabiola have gone out of their way to make sure my mother feels welcome and as comfortable as possible. The atmosphere is very homey, giving it a nicely casual feeling. I've met almost all of the other residents (all female at this writing) and they all look happy to be there. The food is home-cooked and generous portions are served. (and smells delicious!) A final note - my mom has a cat for emotional support (Small pets are accepted, provided the resident can provide care for it and pays a non-refundable pet fee). At the other facility, he spent the first four days under her bed, frightened and skittish. The first day at San Jose ALF, he was resting comfortably on mom's bed like he had been there for years. All in all, San Jose ALF is a welcome alternative to the 'money first, care second' mindset of the corporate-run assisted living facilities. Currently there are plenty of things on my mind, but thanks to San Jose's warm, caring owners and staff, worrying about the care my mother is receiving is no longer one of them.
This review is for the Garden of Time III location. This place started off well, clean and organized. Martha and her husband were accomodating and helpful. However, there were more than a few times I caught the owner yelling at my father when he had dementia. I had a camera. She never once apologized.
