Colonial Gardens Gracious Retirement Living receives mixed reviews from residents and their families. Many praise the facility for its charming atmosphere, friendly staff, and variety of activities. The dining room is often highlighted as a favorite spot, with meals generally considered good, though some note issues with food temperature and consistency. The apartments are described as cozy and well-laid out, with options to suit different needs and budgets. The community offers numerous amenities, including a theater, exercise room, and library, contributing to a vibrant social environment. However, concerns are raised about management turnover, which some feel affects the quality of service. Issues with maintenance, such as water leaks and heating problems, are mentioned, alongside complaints about inadequate kitchen facilities and poor-quality toilet paper. Some residents feel the facility caters more to an older demographic, despite being marketed as a 55+ community. The high rent and frequent increases are also points of contention, with some feeling the service does not match the cost. While many appreciate the caring staff and the positive impact on residents' well-being, others express dissatisfaction with management's handling of issues and the perceived corporate focus on profit. Overall, Colonial Gardens is seen as a beautiful and well-maintained facility with room for improvement in management stability and service consistency.

In all honesty these people really try but to call it “independent living” is a stretch. Most residents are VERY old with mobility issues. I tried so hard (as did they) not to feel like I was living in a nursing home. With costs of assisted living being much higher families keep their loved ones here even when they need a higher level of care. I saw people come in without walkers but would quickly start using them. It accelerates aging. But yes they met my needs the food was good and I made friends there. I will cheerfully return when the “time comes” but thankfully I am not there yet

It’s ok. While some people that live there are warm and welcoming God forbid you cross some of them! And while some management deserves highest praise others can be bullying. I got the feeling I was watched more than I wanted to be. Be aware also that this is an older group of seniors and most have walkers or wheelchairs - and even those that get along well when they move in seem to quickly need assistance. Some residents are warm and welcoming and pure joy to be around. The marketing manager Matt truly has a huge heart. Prices are fair and a good value for what is offered. Independent living? Kind of a stretch on this one. But I won’t rule it out.
