Overall Review of The Gardens at Stevens

common 26 reviews mention this

Staff compassion is the main theme

Residents and families consistently describe caring, attentive staff members who keep them informed.

Many reviews emphasize that staff members are kind and genuinely engaged with residents, from tours to day-to-day care. Several families describe frequent communication and a responsive presence when questions or concerns come up. Even in critical reviews, some note that certain individuals on the team were helpful or respectful, while others complained that staffing levels undermined care.

caveat 13 reviews mention this

Cleanliness varies by review

Reviews show a sharp split on cleanliness, with some calling it spotless and others reporting dirty conditions.

Some reviewers describe the facility as clean and homelike, including noticing cleanliness during tours and in resident rooms. Other reviews report strong odors, stains, and generally dirty or unkept conditions, including urine smell and concerns about broken or poorly maintained items. When cleanliness is mentioned alongside care issues, it appears as part of broader frustrations rather than an isolated complaint.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Help and responses are a concern

Several reviews report slow responses or unanswered call-for-help moments.

Some reviewers describe delays when patients need help, including call buttons not working and staff not arriving after being contacted.
