One-to-one comparison

GARDEN RIDGE ADULT LIFESTYLE COMMUNITY

Garden Ridge gives people 55 and older an opportunity that’s unique in a few different respects. For one, you own your home and build equity. If you’re new to the 55 plus vibe, getting in on the ground floor is ideal; you can help mold the character of a community that’s new to everyone.

THE VILLAGE AT UNIVERSITY GATES

This community began as exclusively long term care, which will still be a key part of the Village. The spectrum of options will include both assisted living and memory care. This will make it ideal for couples with different care needs to remain together in the same community, if one spouse is independent, but the other requires care. It’s also ideal for families and seniors who anticipate shifting care needs in the future. You won’t need to move again.

THE VILLAGE AT UNIVERSITY GATES

There's a balance of really good care, the community love—people really care—and safety.

Beautiful village and amazing staff from top to bottom! Moved my 92 year old gramma into village 17 months ago and she's looking and feeling 10 years younger! She doesn't know why she waited so long! Great meals and tons of amenities and activities! I recommend this village for any senior who needs a bit or a lot of help!

My mom is so well loved and cared for by the staff, we never have to worry - even through Covid

I am very happy with how the team in the Matthew's neighbourhood takes care of my mother. They are empathetic, friendly and professional. I am 100% confident and comfortable with the care my mother is getting there. We are lucky and thankful to have her being cared for by these wonderful people!

Great care. Good people. My Dad is happy.
