Residents and their families say:

This community, The Gardens of Texarkana, garners positive feedback for its cleanliness, friendly and accommodating staff, and a variety of services and activities offered to residents. Many reviewers are impressed with the level of care, including meal preparation, cleaning, medication management, and transportation to doctor's appointments. The community's environment is noted for being pleasant, with no unpleasant odors and well-maintained common areas such as the dining hall, reading room, and gardens. The staff, particularly noted for their friendliness and helpfulness, contribute to a supportive and family-like atmosphere. Residents and their families appreciate the inclusive decision-making process regarding meals, ensuring they are both enjoyable and nutritionally balanced. Activities like badminton, domino games, and seasonal parties indicate a vibrant community life.

However, some areas of concern are also mentioned. The infrastructure appears to need updating, as described by a reviewer who found the community "dated and dark." The layout, particularly the narrow hallways and small activity areas, suggests the building's age might impact the spaciousness and openness of the environment. Despite these critiques, the positive aspects such as the quality of staff interaction, room cleanliness, and the overall inviting nature of the community seem to overshadow the negatives. Certain limitations, like the inability to accommodate larger pets or desires for larger room options, are noted but not heavily emphasized across multiple reviews.
