Family Loving Kare S3

My mother has been in this facility for over one year now and I feel they do a wonderful job there. The staff is so nice and friendly, my mother seems happy and she always looks well cared for no matter when we stop by for a visit. She has a beautiful room that is always clean and refreshing looking. The staff work very closely with the doctors and nurses to give the best care possible.

I went at Life Sonoran Homes and I saw that the rooms are too small for the residents and I felt bad about that. When I go through and look around, I didn’t like what I saw. It just made me so sad.

My husband was in Life Sonoran about six weeks. I don't know whether it was the medication, but he got very combative there. He was in the hospital about a week. The facility wouldn't take him back because they said he couldn't feed himself, and that's not true. He's eating very well now. He's weak, but they led me to believe the week that he was in there that he would be coming back. He was just very unhappy there. He wouldn't eat, and they tried to put him on something to spark his appetite, and then I think that he had a reaction because he's never been mean before. They have three different levels of care. The first home is where they're not as bad. I feel like I don't want to be too negative about it, but I'm greatly relieved that he's in the home he is now. Sometimes, things just work out for the best.

This facility is three homes on three acres just south of Tucson. The homes are nice and the landscaping beautiful with rock formations, cactus, and greenery. The views of the surrounding area and mountain views is beautiful. There is also lots of small wildlife around. They have been open three and a half years. They are a nonprofit facility. These homes are licensed for ten residents each. They are private and semi--private rooms. All are handicapped equipped.The homes are clean and nicely decorated. They do all home cooking and have very good food with a nice variety. They do housekeeping and laundry. They all have nice shaded porches and yards with walking areas. There is a pool and jacuzzi. They have patios with bbq areas. They do all three levels of care. Most residents are dementia and Alzheimer. They have two doctors that come in. The owner is an LPN going to RN school. They have a geriatric nurse who comes in. The caregivers are all certified and they have med techs. They have nurses on call 24/7. They do transport to appointments. The staff and atmosphere is loving and caring. They have lots of activities as one on one arts and crafts, games, bbqs and parties. They do exercises. The library will deliver books. They do nails, hair, and massages. They go for outings as resident level of health allows. The third home is just opening and they hope to have this home filled with residents who have a higher level of functioning. These facilities are very nice and desirable.
