Assisted Living Communities in Queen Creek, AZ

"I went to look at BeeHive Homes of Gilbert. They have very professional staff. I love the cleanliness. They were very responsive when I said I was interested. Of all the places I toured, they were at the top of my list. They have daily activities in the main great room that are kind of limited, which suited my mom perfectly. They have very spacious bedrooms that would accommodate a full bedroom set and a queen-sized bed. I saw the residents, and they just appeared to be well cared for. The staff was very knowledgeable. She was a nurse, too, which was really nice. She provided a lot of information and seemed caring. The facility was very clean and organized. It was a secure unit, which was nice."

"I went to Sky Vista, and it was nice. They just didn't take Medicare though. The lady there was nice. They have nice amenities, but not as nice as the others. They have a salon and laundry service. The dining area was clean, and it was nice. They have a courtyard-type thing."

"Once you get inside Savanna House Assisted Living & Memory Care, the staff was super friendly. They were phenomenal. They knew all the residents by name, and the residents all seemed very happy to be there. They stopped and talked to us and would tell us about things. It was a place where I would be comfortable living. It was very well kept inside and outside. They had a nice courtyard. The dining area was restaurant-style. All meals were included. The apartments were nice. They had a smaller refrigerator with a microwave. They also had a barbershop/beauty shop, a lot of activities, and a really nice arts and crafts room. The activities really impressed us."

"Brookdale Apache Junction was all very nice. Their rooms were smaller than I expected, but it's the same as the other places I saw. The person who assisted me during the tour was very polite and cooperative. We weren't there during a meal time but we saw the dining area. It seems like the residents were having fun, there was an activity going on."

"Infinite Care in Chandler was immaculate. It smelled terrific and they had an availability. The problem is that my husband is more severe than the other residents in the household. They're more ambulatory and they're verbal, and he's not. He's in a wheelchair and he's not verbal at all. So, their level of care wasn't sufficient. Other than that, it was an beautiful place. The owners are just wonderful people. The rooms were a nice size. They shared a bathroom and they had a master bedroom, but somebody was occupying it. They have a nice little yard out in the backyard and the meals they cooked look good. They have a living room with a big TV in it."

"It is a beautiful facility. It's fairly new and very beautifully decorated. The staff was very nice and she took me on a whole facility tour. They have lots of rooms for activities and I saw some residents participating in the activities. I saw their rooms and they were not well laid out, but aside from that everything looked gorgeous."

"Inspira Gateway was new. It's kind of bright and sparkly. It's a smaller community with a smaller population, but it's a lovely place. It has an onsite heated pool and a PT/rec room. They had a full activities calendar and transportation. The dining area was lovely with cloth napkins and clean tabletops. It looked like a restaurant. They have a special menu each day and a special item, and then also an everyday menu that you can use. They also have 24-hour access to a bistro with fruit, a coffee bar, drink bar, and a dairy case or a refrigerated case of snacks. I liked it. The staff was great."

"Avista Apache Junction is great. It's a homey. The caregivers are very nice and sweet, and if anything happens to my brother, they call immediately. He had fallen once, and they called, and his diabetes numbers were off the wall, and they called, so they're very responsive. It's got a good feeling. It's like a home. The food looked fine. My brother's room is nice. He got a one-bedroom. It's good and clean. He hasn't been there long enough for their activities, but they have stuff going on. We saw the calendar. They have cards, but it seems like they are geared toward older people like 70s and 80s."

"I toured Cadence Chandler. They have nice rooms, and a big variety of choices from small studios up to two bedrooms. They had their combination of independent, assisted living, and memory care. It's a nice facility. Everything looked fine. Everything looks satisfactory. They have lots of programs. Lots of things to do during the day. They have various activities like card games, yoga, and exercise. They have a pool and they have an exercise room. Diana was helpful and very courteous. She showed me around."

"My mother was here for a year and half. She just passed away a couple of weeks ago. It was a very good place, and I would highly recommend it. The staff was very good and very helpful. The rooms were great. She had a first floor room, and it faced the swimming pool. It was very nice. She did not attend much on activities because she was 99 years old, but she did a little bit of chair exercise and bingo once in a while."

"Brookdale Baywood was the best. I thought the facility was kind of small in general; otherwise the staff was very nice, though. It was just a small facility. I think the staff seemed very helpful. "

"The staff at Arbor Rose Senior Care was very good, answered all my questions and everything. What stood out to me was the size of the rooms; they were spacious and they had showers adjacent. The food must be good because he's gaining weight. They do have activities like dancing, which my brother enjoys. The surroundings are very pleasant, the work staff is very good from what I've heard. It sounds like they have a very good curriculum on activities and stuff, and keeping people busy. The value for the money is very good."

"I visited Brookdale East Arbor assisted living sometime this month when my niece was considering having my sister move there. I thought the upkeep was very nice, the outside looks very homey which is something very striking to me. I felt that it was clean which is important. The residents seem to be being paid attention to. The person who gave me the tour, I believe he was the director, was very nice and very informative. I saw that they had a room where a lady was doing something with residents. She was taking care of them, and helping them out. They took me to one of the apartments and I thought they were very nice. They had a nice kitchen. They also had a game room and a nice place for the residents to watch TV together if they wanted. They're doing activities and they told me about other activities that they do but at the time of my visit, there weren't a lot of residents in the activity room. The ones that were there had a person working with them. There were also people in the hallways and everybody seemed to be happy. The rooms I saw were very cozy and very roomy. They were just nice. They showed me two of them and both were just nice and spacious. They were set up for somebody needing to easily get in and out of the shower so the whole thing was just very well laid out. I was so pleasantly surprised because so many places you go into feels like a nursing home and this did not. This felt like these people have a home, and that was very inspiring to me, I guess, to know that older people are being cared for that way."

"The place that we are planning to move into is The Village at Ocotillo. I like primarily its location in relationship to where our son lives. I like the way the facility is laid out. I also like their programs and their food, the way the meals are handled there. For accommodations, what we are looking to have is a two-bedroom-two-bath with a full kitchen and a nice patio. We are looking for a unit where everything is under one roof because my husband will be using a motorized chair. Also in The Village, they have the "Aging in Place" concept where you could stay in your apartment and get different degrees of assistance as you need it, so that you don't have to move to another location. The staff was outstanding when we visited. We were very pleased with what they have available. For activities, they did have classes that I'm interested in. They also had activities that sound interesting. "
