The moment I walked into Deer Valley I felt a huge sense of love. The community is brand new. I was looking for my mom that needs memory care assistance, I have been to 5 other communities looking. The moment I stepped into the secured memory care residences I was greeted by lovely residents and staff, they were in the middle of a dancing activity, it was great to see the residents happy and smiling. The units are a good size, big windows and the ceilings are like 12 feet high. It is a very small memory care unit and the residents that live there get one on one care and assistance. I am moving mom here and I know in my heart I made the right decision. Oh, I had lunch with Crystal, my lunch was very good.

I liked the assisted living part of Deer Valley Senior Living, but there was absolutely nothing I liked about the memory care. It was cold, uninviting, and nothing that memory care families would be interested in. The staff who gave me the tour was very pleasant and nice. The assisted living dining area was nice, but the memory care dining area was cold, gray, and contemporary, but I didn't like it. I didn't like the layout at all but I didn't see anything that wasn't clean. It needs to be warmed up because it was just too cold and contemporary-looking. Memory care people need warmth, comfort, hellos, or stuffed animals they can cuddle up with. I didn't see anything like that there.

Deer Valley Senior Living looked nice. They showed me one room and what it would be like for my brother, but the floor had a weird smell in it and that kind of worried me. The person showing it to me didnt tell me about the rancid smell so I was suspicious. They said that they had care for people who have memory problems, and I told the person that's probably the kind of care my brother needed, but she declined to show me that area, so right away I knew something wasn't right. She was friendly but she would not show me the areas I'm interested in. They have a nice restaurant though, and the food looked like it was nice. They should listen to what the customer is saying so they could match up with what is needed.
