Sunrise of North Scottsdale

My brother-in-law has moved into Sunrise of North Scottsdale. It seems like everything is very acceptable. The food in the restaurant is good. The staff there is very friendly. He has a studio. It has a shower, toilet, sink, refrigerator, and microwave. It doesn't have a full kitchen because he has three meals a day provided. They have activities on an ongoing basis, like physical activities, mental challenges, and movies. They also have an exercise room, walking paths, a billiards table, and entertainment regularly. Everything is clean and up-to-date. Economically, it fits our needs.

Everyone I met here was very pleasant, seemed knowledgeable, and very cordial. They greeted everybody. The rooms that I saw were very small, but it had a courtyard view from the inside. They gave us a sandwich and some food to take with me and it was very good. They had a beauty salon, a movie theater, and a couple of different rooms. One area had chairs in it where people could watch TV.

One thing that I liked about it was that the memory unit was in a certain area with a keypunch, rather than just allowing the residents to wander. Not that my mom wanders right now, but that could be a concern as her disease progresses. The staff was very friendly. They were working and sitting with the residents outside, helping them get around. The bedrooms were bigger, and it could actually fit a full or queen size bed, which my mom already has. Their dining area was cafeteria style, so it wasn't anything fancy or anything like that. They have little tables with five or six people on each.

It has very nice people and the lady that I met with who showed me around was very nice and extremely knowledgeable. I didn't care for anything they had to offer except the nice people. They have the same general things that other places offer. It's just a normal senior place.

It was lovely, but it was almost too big. It was like driving up to a very large, fancy hotel. It was lovely. It wasn’t intimate, but it’s gorgeous. It was very busy with people coming and going with buses taking them somewhere. It was an active community, mostly independent living. It wouldn’t have been the right fit for my mother because it was just too much. She’s half blind and can barely speak or walk. It was an active community, mostly independent living. We went a second time and had lunch with my mother. It’s gorgeous.

It was very nice; the people and the staff were nice too. That one also had apartments that had a full kitchen. It was smaller, and it felt like you are living in an extended stay hotel not like a community, but it was lovely.
