The Best Senior Living Communities in Cottonwood, AZ

"My Mother has Parkinson's, is on hospice, and has lived at Carefree for over a year. Her financial situation requires that she share a room with another resident. The rooms are very nice and clean. There is a wonderful walk-out atrium with greenery, flowers, and bird-feeders. The food is good, and they have many activities, and bring in some musical entertainment. I visit once or twice a week. This is my Mom's 3rd Assisted Living Residence in the Verde Valley, and she recently called it "home" - (this is a big deal, as she can be critical!) I believe that the caregiving staff, and owner involvement is what sets Carefree apart. This is a small facility with less staff turn-over than I have experienced elsewhere. The facility is adequately staffed, and caregivers are friendly and attentive to the residents. The owner is responsive, and his concern for the residents and staff is evident. I feel good when I visit - I look forward to seeing Mom, and the staff! I recommend Carefree, especially for those who need quite a bit of physical assistance. Thank you to everyone at Carefree - I know your job is difficult, and I am grateful to all of you. "

"Elysia and the rest of the staff here were absolutely wonderful with my father for the few months that he was there all the way through his passing! They're super caring observant and mindful of all of their patients and treat them like family and when family comes to visit you feel like you're just visiting a relatives they are so awesome!! They make homemade meals do activities with the staff and they even sent me pictures of my father which is very much appreciated they could even allow me to FaceTime him! I know my father enjoyed his time there and his interactions with all the staff and I will never forget the kindness that they showed my father and I all the way through his passing! If you're looking for a place to place your loved ones you couldn't find a better place than here they'll treat your loved ones like they are their loved ones! Thank you again for all of your wonderful help and caring and for going above and beyond you'll never know how much I truly appreciated it!"

"My aunt has been in the facility. We toured the facility virtually, but we also took her there. Our experience has been very good. It was a very good tour, and they were very helpful. It has been nothing but good. We called her one day last week and she was playing bingo. We have not seen the room, but it seems OK. The facility is very neat and very clean. The staff is very nice and good to her. They've all been very nice to us. My aunt says the food is good. She gets out and walks around the patio area; she seems satisfied."

"My husband is in Haven Health Cottonwood. They're taking very good care of him. The staff is wonderful. The food is OK, but sometimes it's not the best. The rooms are small, and they're kept up OK. He does some of the activities."

"Susan J. Rheem is a wonderful facility. I would just be lost without it because they care for the residents in a very good way. They serve them breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks. I had a meal there, and the food is attractive, tasty, and marvelous. For an extra charge they provide a van for transportation, which I do take advantage of. The main building is impressive, and I know the director, Amber. She is young and seems quite professional. When I need to change days or do something extraordinary they are very cooperative. I find it one of the best places you can put people who have dementia or Parkinson’s or simply old age. They’re just a very caring group, and I’m just so glad I found them. I’m just very happy for my friend whose husband goes there also. "

"This is a small assisted living in a home that has been converted to a residential center. It is located in a greenbelt outside of rural Cottonwood Arizona, As an Occupational Therapist with many years of experience in serving elders, what I appreciate the most is the involvement in meaningful activities that tie in to the best abilities of a lifetime of experience, vocation, hobbies, interests. There are fostered kittens, a chicken coop, veggie gardens, fragrant gardens, fruit trees. (this is was built as a family ranchette). The yard fenced in front and back with green grass (a treasure in Arizona) is standard in this riparian area. Inside the house, the spacious living room is adjacent to the kitchen; so the natural cycle of participating, anticipating with familiar sights, smells and sounds of meal preparation is part of the daily routine to anchor community and the house 'family'. This is a very small and intimate business that is privately owned. Individual attention is the norm. "

"My sister had an illness and stroke. She needed to heal and we found great support and encouragement from the staff of Country Care. Not only did they help her with recovery, they also celebrated her progress. We made friends there and are extremely grateful for everyone at Country Care."

"I couldn’t of asked for a more caring loving place for my dad to be, the care and love these caregivers gave him is priceless! He was spoiled beyond belief. The piece of mind knowing he was an important part of this home just made my mother and I so glad we chose the Hillsman House!"

"Lampliter Village is a very nice community. I got a double-wide trailer all to myself. Most of all, it's cost worthy; it's most reasonable. It's an older establishment here, so all the plants and all the trees and everything is older, so it's a lot prettier. It has bushes everywhere, and it has an automatic watering system. Everything is well-groomed and kept clean; it's just beautiful. Like my trailer was built in 1985, and it's been refurbished, so it's all new walls inside out and a new roof. Everything is extremely neat and cheerful. It's built so that a senior won't have to do a lot. It's very low maintenance. I didn't refurbish it. The people re-did it all before they sold it to me. I met the one that lived here before, and she was the one that re-did this place. They have a senior area where they have parties and that kind of things for holidays. They have an inside heated pool, have a ring toss area, and they have a dog park. If your dog potties it out there, you have to clean it up like any place now. That's the only thing that they worry about. They allow two animals to a resident. Everybody has no more than two animals. They've had people moved in and then brought their grandchildren, and you can't do that. For seniors, having that around with a whole lot of kids doesn't work out because there are a lot of seniors with illnesses and things like that, and they need to be quiet."

"The care that is provided is EXCELLENT. Everything about the premise bright and uplifting. You can tell that everyone is happy and well provided for. Rosie is a wonderful care provider and is always interacting with everyone. You can tell she is in this business because she truly cares about her residents. The rooms are very beautiful and makes you feel right at home. Bathrooms look amazing especially for an assisted living home. You really have to go over there and check it out the views in the back are fabulous. Overall El Dorado whole heartedly is the best place for care of your loved one."

"Overall, Haven of Camp Verde looked great. They've got plenty of staff, which is important. The rooms were clean. There were different activity rooms and different halls. I liked the dayroom that's off of one of the rooms because that's important to get some sunlight if the weather doesn't permit you to go outside. The staff seemed very nice and informative. They were doing a Trick or Treat thing that day, so there were a lot of people out in the hallways. The layout was good. The rooms were pretty large. There's a nice patio outback where my friend can have a smoke and be social with everybody. The staff during the tour seemed very warm and very caring, definitely asked the right questions to get a good fit for him, and was very informative. She told me a few things I didn't know, so that's good."

"Haven Of Camp Verde is a very clean community, and the people are very nice. My mother wasn't happy with the food, but they are trying to improve the food service. I would still recommend them. They have a lot of planned activities for the residents, but my mother chooses not to participate. The director is a very nice person, and the facilities are very clean."

"Sedona Winds is the one that I chose for my mother. It was good, clean, and homey, and I liked it. It goes from independent to complete care, so it has everything. The lady who helped me was wonderful. I'm getting a one-bedroom apartment with a balcony and a view. They also have smaller one-bedroom and studio apartments. They offer hot meals twice a day, they have a cleaning lady twice a month, and they have holiday meals like on Valentine's Day or President's Day. Like it's the start of Mardi Gras and they are having a party for that. They have a lot of things going on such as pools, swimming pools, transportation, and exercise. They were having a President's Day lunch and when I said, "Wow, that smells good," some lady piped in that had just eaten and she said, "Oh, it was good!""
