Waiting for help

“We are not going to place our grandparents here . We decided to transfer them to a kind , friendly place . We waited over 45 minutes ….”

“The gardens was nice. However when my dad had to call for a bit of help it took forever for someone to show up. When my dad was sent by ambulance to the hospital we never got a call. The hospital called us finally. The Gardens never called once, didn’t even know he wasn’t there”

For communities and operators

Families don’t just tour buildings. They tour for reassurance.

“What happens if my mom falls at 2 a.m.?” Communities that answer that clearly win the move-in — and write a different kind of review. See how Nobi communities say it out loud, on the tour and in the brochure.

What families ask on tour
01“How quickly will you know if she falls?”
02“Will someone check on her at night?”
03“How do you protect her privacy and her dignity?”
04“What happens before a fall, not just after?”
