Community Reviews
Great Community
reviewed on: 07/23/2013 by Satisfied CustomerI chose this community because I wanted to be near Oakland. The community is not the most convenient location, there is only two bus routes that pass by the community but there is a bus stop in front of the community. The community also has its own van service that will take you places if needed. They do trips to shopping centers and grocery stores. They have plenty of activities to keep the residents busy. The food is pretty good and there are so very nice common areas. I was research several other communities but only visited this one and once I saw Schenley Gardens I didn't bother visiting any others. I am pretty happy with it and would recommend it to anyone.
A Place For Mom is a god send!
reviewed on: 03/04/2016 by AnonymousA Place For Mom was so much more than I expected. Don't let the title fool you cause I was looking for a place for my brother and the advisor who was assigned to me called me right away. She was so helpful and pleasant and listened to me as to what I was looking for. Schenley Gardens was the first community I toured and was sold right away. It has everything to offer that my brother would benefit from. The staff is very pleasant, nice and respectful. I am comforted to know he is in a much better place.
A good tour
reviewed on: 07/31/2017 by AnonymousThis looked like a really nice community when we visited. They seemed to offer a lot of activities and everyone we met was very nice. This community has a lot of different levels and we felt it was a little to large for mom.
Timeless memory..

State of the art security,very professional staff ,and management makes sure operations run smoothly. The facility is immaculate,the design of the building is unlike any other we have witness.. Superior service i can honestly say,I'm proud to have my loved one living there. Its a "timeless" memory!
Need more activities
reviewed on: 02/09/2016 by AnonymousThey have activities but there's not a whole lot of them. The aides are wonderful, they took very good care of my mother. As far as improvement, back management has little bit of problems. When requesting things there is a delay for it.
