I would love to post my review here so everyone will have chance to consider when looking for a great place to care for for their loved ones when needed. We're very fortunate to find Marina Garden Nursing Center for our family member where we can find full support from all the staffs. Mrs. Evangeline and Sol are greatly helpful and dedicated with all the supports from the very beginning to guide us thru the entire process. Their support continues over the time along with devoted care service from other care team members. A lot of activities for patients are organized to support them physically and mentally. They are all meaningful and adding great value to their care packages. We highly recommend this center for people to come in and check out when they need a trusted place to care for their love ones.

I cannot recommend Marina Garden highly enough. If you are lucky enough to get a spot here, you will be graced with the attention and kindness of a loving and responsive staff. Compared to other places I visited, I was blown away by the outstanding, individualized care as well as the cleanliness and food. For the short time before my father passed away, the staff were like family. They honored his (and my) wishes and integrity. I am profoundly and eternally grateful that this is where my father spent his final week of life.

Very good facility, well trained staff and gave me full attention. the therapists were kind and factual. At the same time they convinced me to try and try in spite of pain. I had knee replacement done. Place is clean, food is nutritious. They also have activity and a separate staff for it. I am glad I went to Marina Gardens for rehab.
