The Best Senior Living Communities in Green Valley, AZ

"I just moved in two months ago to Atria Valley Manor in Tucson. I'm glad to have chosen this property. 1. Friendly environment 2. Staff is great 3. The food is good 4. Great activity schedule All around, I like living here. I have no complaints."

"The staff are wonderful. Most of the residents enjoy bingo which is practically everyday. Whenever I come to visit my great grandma the staff come to the door with a warm smile on their face. "

"Park Senior Villas - Houghton had kind of a villa-looking thing and then you go inside the building and they had individual rooms. They had double rooms if you wanted a roommate. They had some activities. I didn't see as much going on or see the people running around as I did at the other place, but it was very nicely kept up. The people were nice. A few days later, I came back, I even told them that I had decided on the other place. They still said, "Come and get that desk." They got the desk out and told me where is the closest was to get it. They're very nice there. The place was clean. I checked out both assisted living, plus memory care. Based on how clean they were and how nice I thought it was, it's a five. I liked the layout. I thought it was convenient. They have a little closed-in patio area. It's all on one level. One gentleman was sitting out there when we were there. When I went back and picked up the desk, I saw more people. It could have been the time of day and maybe people were in activities when I was there visiting. I saw their little cafeteria area for that building and mom can have her cat there. The staff I saw was very nice and very obliging because when I came and got the desk, one girl helped me bring it out to my car. She was very polite and very nice."

"My mother is in Avista Tucson. They said she stopped yelling at people and she's eating better. Right now she's in assisted living level three. Everybody there is so polite and so helpful. I had some things I couldn't get together, they put them together for me. They go out of their way to help you with your parent. I like their attitude. There are so many activities for her to do if she ever leaves her room, but if she doesn't, they bring her meals. She's just happy, I guess, now because they said she's eating more when she was barely eating. After the first week, she stopped yelling at people who would come into her room because they checked on her every two hours. She could have her cat there, but she didn't think it was hers, so I had to take the cat back home. They have a little gambling area. They can play cards. They have a little slot machine. They have a little movie theater with big recliners you can sit in. They have their little restaurant or cafeteria where everybody can go to eat if they choose to. They had singers one day I was there with my mom when I brought her there. They have karaoke. They have all kinds of different things and they're always trying to get you involved. Even though you don't want to go, they still come and ask to see if you want to. They encourage you to get out and be more social. If you want to go outside, you can go outside. Other people I've seen go outside. She has a studio apartment. They pretty much have the freedom to do what they want. Memory care has a locked door because people forget, but they still come out and do the activities. They get them together as a group, take them out, and let them be involved in the activities. She is eating more and she's very picky. I've seen the food and it looks nice. The first day she got there, they brought her a plate and I said she loves ham sandwiches, so they gave her a ham sandwich. They had a Boston cream pie. She ate it because she loves Boston cream pie and it's been ages since she's had one and they said, "OK, if we ever have Boston cream pie, we'll make sure we get it on her plate so that she gets it for her meals." They're very accommodating. They're all very friendly and knowledgeable. It was reasonable for everything you were getting. It's not that big of a jump if she needs memory care. They have an onsite doctor. I've seen them making repairs. All the time somebody is working on stuff, so they keep that place up. They're working on the floor and that's important, you don't want people falling. I saw the residents running around. I saw the guys that were in charge. The guy in charge of all the maintenance people set up my mom's TV for us and got one of his guys to put her bookcase together for us."

"My dad moved to Inspirations of River Centre. They were extremely responsive to my questions and needs. The people are competent and nice. The facilities are very clean. I like that it's one story, so there's no elevators or stairs. It's been a very positive experience. I like the layout a lot because it's on one floor and it's just a big loop with an outdoor courtyard in the middle. I haven't tried the food, but my dad so far says it's quite good. So he's happy. It was less expensive than some of the other options, and I liked it better."

"I toured The Hacienda at the River. The atmosphere, it's beautiful. The staff was good. The person who I worked with listened to me and everything I had to say, and she answered all my questions really well. It was just a pleasant experience. Each area has a kitchen and it was like going to a hotel. It's very clean and it's nicely decorated. There's a garden, and it's like going on vacation."

"Brookdale Tanque Verde was excellent. I was very impressed with the person that I talked with and the facility. It was clean. It didn't have a bad smell. They have a lot of activities for people and an interesting varied menu for them. I thought it was great for somebody with significant dementia. The staff seemed very good and caring. I saw them talking to some of the residents. The room seemed nice, and they had nice showers with handles and stuff to help elderly folks. It seemed like they had several activities for the people. The atmosphere seemed excellent to me."

"The units were beautiful with a lot of natural light, in fact, they were the best we've seen. We had lunch in the dining room. The food was excellent. We did notice a lot of interesting conversations going on around us. Everyone seemed to enjoy being there.There's a great vibe. The common areas were very nice. I specifically noticed the furnishings. In the common areas appeared to be very new, even though the facility itself isn't, but it is kept up extremely well. Also, with a lot of high ceilings and large windows, which you don't often find in assisted living facilities. We spoke with several of the employees they were all pleasant and all seemed to enjoy being there. They were able to answer any question that we asked our tour guide. Vicki, it was really great. She was very patient with us and answered all of our questions, and we give this whole experience. an A++!"

"I toured Sunrise at River Road. It was very nice. It was a very comfortable place. It was very convenient. The personnel and staff seemed very upbeat."

"excellent nursing care was provided to me by all nurses and cna's. my call bell was answered promptly by all. my recovery was truly quickened by the quality of the care i recieved. my discharged plan went and continues to runs smoothly as i recover at home. thank you all so much for all you did for me to be able to recover and regain my health."

"Arroyo Gardens was nice. It was confusing though. It was really big. It's easy to get lost. The staff was very pleasant. The rooms were just like the others, size-wise, and they were nice. I saw the menu and it looked really good. The atmosphere was very comfortable. Everybody was nice. I didn't see any activities, but I know they have a movie room and an area where they had puzzles they were putting together. There were lots of different things. They had a piano. It just wouldn't be easy for someone that's going to need memory care to remember which way to turn. They had a beauty shop. It was very pretty."

"The one that we thought was the best was La Posada at Park Center. There's no restaurant or mall near there. It's basically by itself just outside of Green Valley. They have two apartment complexes, several garden homes, and then individual homes. It's a CCRC. It's a top-notch place. It's much newer than the other place but the same kind of class. The streets are all paved. It's in the middle of a pecan orchard, so there are lots of trees and green grass. The apartments are large. Some of the garden homes are small or broken up with lots of walls which we didn't care much for. The apartments were sunny and open with lots of windows. The place is well-kept, but it's also very expensive. It costs $400,000 to get into it. They're very nice people. They're very service-oriented. They showed us everything that we wanted to see. Besides, we have several friends that have already gone there. We visited them in their homes. We've had two people that have been there for over 10 years and they're in their 90s. They have a nice rehab facility and they have also memory care and anything else. The dining area is very nice. The chefs are very good. You can order anything you want. Depending on the program you're on, you can get all your meals or you can get one meal. Each apartment comes with one meal and if there are two people, they had $600 a month or something like that for another person. The food is very good. We've eaten there several times with friends, but we also had lunch there when we took the tour."

"Casa Community Services is very nice. They have nurses on staff and they have a lot of employees who sit one-on-one with the seniors if they need assistance with their card games or dominoes, or help with their food. They have a large open area and then a large nursing station where you can see everyone in the area. They have small rooms if you want to have some quiet time to read. Their dining room is like a restaurant. "

"My mother-in-law is on the memory care side of The Villas at Green Valley. It is beautiful. We love it. It is a very wonderful place. The staff has been wonderful to her. The dining area is absolutely beautiful; it is like a great room. They cook right there and residents can see them cooking. It is a beautiful place. They have a television, sofas, and tables there. It is also clean. My mother-in-law does zumba and listens to music, they have dominoes and bingo, and there is also a day that you can bring your pet in for visits. They also watch movies with popcorn. The staff members are all kind; my mother-in-law loves all of them."
