McDowell Village

My dad stayed at McDowell Village. They couldn't get him the care that he required because he has a pretty high level of care. The food is good, and it's like in a restaurant. The facilities are nice and definitely handicap-accessible. They have a pool, gym therapy, and trips to grocery stores. The fee is rent and assisted living charge. The caregivers are extremely nice, but there are some issues with management.

The rooms in Mcdowell Village were a little bit smaller, they’re remodeling all the rooms and bringing them up to date, and they’re also remodeling the common areas. The remodeled ones were pretty nice, and I think I can move in to something like that. The dining area was nice and acceptable.

We chose McDowell Village. It’s a very nice community that serves excellent, gourmet meals. The people that we worked with were very caring. I know they have different kinds of exercise and an in-house personal trainer, plus a salon, theater, pub, card rooms, game rooms, and computer rooms. The place is completely secured. Our apartment is almost 1,000 square feet. It’s very lovely, and we really like it.

My relative is in McDowell Village. The food is excellent. The staff is incredible. It is right next to the Scottsdale Senior Center. They have a variety of care, and activities. We are very happy with it. They have field trips, physical activities, brain games, bingo, all kinds of crafts, and all kinds of things. I like the location, the cleanliness, and the fact that it is new. I like that everything is in one place, and they are very active. It is not dark or boring.

I thought McDowell Village was an excellent place. We loved that place. That was actually the very nicest place we went, but they didn't have memory care for my mom. The rooms were lovely, the food was good, and the people were nice; however, my mom couldn't go there because she's got too much dementia. Nevertheless, it's a lovely facility, and I would recommend it to anybody that can handle it.

McDowell Village seemed to be a very nice place. We vistied twice, and the staff was very helpful. The apartments were very nice, very clean, and bigger than I assumed. The dining room was nice and set up like a restaurant. They had a pool table and group activities, like exercise.

My husband has a couple of clients down here at McDowell Village, so he visited some people in the village, and they love it. The staff worked very hard. The problem with them is that they don't have a high level of care for someone who is very ill. They were very upfront about it, but it is fine for independent and some assisted living. As for activities, I don't know specifically, but they have the usual clubs and outings. The rooms were very nice, very big, and well laid out. A lot of them have decks, they have very nice appliances, and if I remember, they have stove in the kitchen too. I didn’t taste their food, but the dining area was very well staffed and very nicely setup. The place was very active because there are a lot of independent living people there. There was lot of activity and a lot of bustle. The problem is that they don't provide a high level of care for serious illnesses. But for what they are doing, I think they are doing a good job.

McDowell Village is very nice. The staff is very friendly, and the grounds are well maintained. They have people come in and entertain. We don't get there very often, but every time we're there things are going on. They have church services, they take them out on scheduled trips, they go to games during the baseball season, they have a movie theater, and they have a popcorn machine. The staff treated my in-laws very well, and they seem to be very nice. Everybody seems to know who they are, and they addressed them by name. The food doesn't excite me, but they seem OK. The menu is the same every day with some specials thrown in. We had lunch and dinner there, and it's OK. The folks that are there seemed to be very happy. The ones who are a little more mobile than my in-laws seem to do an awful lot, and they seem very pleased with what's available there. The facility itself is clean and very well maintained. I was able to walk around every floor of the place, and I found a library and a bar where they can go during happy hour if they want. It's very nicely setup. I would say it's more for someone who doesn't necessarily need a lot of assistance.
