Assisted Living
A living option for seniors or individuals who require assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, or medication management while maintaining a level of independence. Assisted living facilities offer personalized care plans and social activities that promote quality of life for their residents.
Independent Living
Designed to help older adults who want to maintain an active and independent lifestyle, these communities offer services and amenities that cater to residents’ needs, while encouraging a sense of community and freedom from the responsibilities of owning a home.
Memory Care
Memory care communities offer specialized care and support for individuals dealing with memory-related conditions, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. These facilities are equipped with trained staff and offer engaging activities designed to promote well-being while ensuring a safe living environment.
Life Plan/CCRCs
Also referred to as Life Plan Communities, these communities offer a comprehensive continuum of care for residents. CCRCs offer multiple levels of care, allowing seniors to transition between independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care as their needs change throughout their aging journey.

During a recent visit to Piedmont Gardens, I experienced an incident I believe constitutes racial discrimination. As a healthcare provider with 21 years of experience, I consistently call facilities in advance to confirm parking and access procedures. Piedmont Gardens indicated visitor parking was available on a first-come, first-served basis. On my first visit, no spaces were available. On my second visit, I found three open spaces in the designated visitor parking area. Upon entering the lot, a Hispanic man, whom I believe his name was Pedro, intently watched me park. He then approached my vehicle and aggressively insisted I was not permitted to park there, despite my visitor status and the facility’s prior instructions. I attempted to show him my visitor sticker, but he remained adamant, even incorrectly identifying me as an employee. A Caucasian employee then intervened, confirming the initial parking instructions given to me. It became clear to me that Pedro's actions were racially motivated, disregarding my status as a healthcare provider simply because of my race. I subsequently contacted Piedmont Gardens to report the incident. My call was returned by a supervisor, seemingly Pedro’s colleague, whose name I believe was Schee. This supervisor’s response was unsatisfactory, attempting to justify Pedro’s behavior with inconsistent and unconvincing explanations. The supervisor's apparent unwillingness to acknowledge and address the racial bias exhibited by Pedro is deeply concerning. This incident highlights a serious issue of racial discrimination at Piedmont Gardens. I believe a thorough investigation into this matter is necessary to ensure a respectful and inclusive environment for all visitors and staff. It is my hope that Piedmont Gardens will take appropriate action to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. Noted that I worked in Monterey California and Pebble Beach and the people were kind and hospitable and were more wealthy than those at this facility. So even if this facility is supposed to be upscale, the discrimination shouldn’t be present. I will say this forever. If other races want black folks to stop discussing racism then they should stop being racist.

Having spent 12 nights in Skilled Nursing in December 2024, I would like to thank and commend all the staff who work there: nurses, CNAs, cleaning staff, activities staff, dining staff, case managers, physical and occupational therapists, and anyone else I may have forgotten to list. Everyone was professional, patient with patients, kind, and helpful as they went about their duties. My stay enabled me to gain back some strength and mobility after hip replacement surgery, so that I could climb up the 20 steps leading to my front door. The dining choices were a welcome change from hospital fare, with fresh vegetables and fruit always available.

The single best thing about Piedmont Gardens is the people who live and work here. No question: what makes Piedmont Gardens such a great place to live is our fellow residents and our staff, who we call our team. The location in a vibrant urban neighborhood comes in second on the virtue scale--so much, so close. Third is the physical space, indoors and outdoors, and that is getting better all the time. Life is good!!!
