Scottsdale Village Square, A Pacifica Senior Living Community

My sister has been in Scottsdale Village Square for three months now. They have independent and assisted living. They also have long-term and short-term nursing and memory care facility. There is a mixture of old people there. My sister has onset of dementia and she is on a unit with people around her age. Each unit has about 15 rooms. She has her own room, which is just like a bedroom in a house. Everything there has to be wall mounted. Even her TV is wall mounted. Her door opens to a courtyard which is controlled by security gate that she can't open. At night they have security outside that walks around and controls the grounds. In terms of activities, they have cards, bingo, movie nights, etc. They also have beauty parlor on site. They do day trips where they take residents out to Wal-Mart or to go shopping and stuff. They also do physical therapy and they would take people to doctor appointments if need be. Food is good; however, they're not allowed to have any food in their room. They have to go to the dining room to eat and even for their snacks. They control their intake of sodas and they're not allowed any caffeine. The working staff is good. They have their own nurse and aides.
