Independent Living Communities in Mesa, AZ

"When I went over at Sunrise of Gilbert, I realized that they had facilities to accommodate just about any kind of a person that came in there, but when I sat down and talked to the representative, he filled me in very quickly that this is a private-owned company, and therefore there are no individuals living there that have support through Medicaid or otherwise. We toured the rest of the facility more or less, with what it would mean if I moved there as an independent person. It's very clean. They have a lot of activities, but just the way the place was built, they didn't go on the cheap. The person who gave the tour was a young person. very well dressed, very professional, very informative, and took all the time I needed to look the place over. I wasn't rushed. As my situation moves along, I will keep in touch with him to see how things are changing in regards to what I look at and what I'm thinking about doing. I saw the dining area and I saw their menus and it was very, very, very pleasant. It seemed like eating at a very nice restaurant. Not just comfort food, they had some of the finer things. If you have to downsize, you can move into someplace like Sunrise of Gilbert and feel like you haven't just thrown your whole life out the window. There's still a lot of life left and opportunities for you to explore and meet new people."

"The tour at Oasis At Mesa Palms was sort of strange because I went with a girlfriend, and we just decided to go on our own. It was on a weekend, so it wasn't a formal tour. The one who usually gives the tour wasn't in, so the girl who works behind the desk gave the tour, and she was wonderful. She was very sweet, and she had to give the tour at the last minute. She was very nice, but she wasn't usually the person who gave the tour. The kitchens were better supplied, which really doesn't matter since you're getting your meals, so you don't really need a fully supplied kitchen. Nevertheless, they have a really wonderful kitchen. They have disposals, and they even have dishwashers. They have washers and dryers in each apartment. They provide two meals a day. The staff did the nicest thing. I was having trouble with my back, so she ran and got a wheelchair and pushed me around in it. It wasn't even her job, and she just couldn't be friendlier or nicer. She also told me about the two different floor plans and took me to apartments that had both floor plans to show me the difference."

"We went to The Oaks in Gilbert. The people there were wonderful. The food was amazing. The place was clean and homey. All the residents there were happy and always wanted to include everybody in what they were doing. It was just an awesome place. Kevin is the best. He gives a great tour. He answers all your questions. We met the physical therapist, the nurse, and the activities director. Everybody was super great. We just sat down, and the chef brought us a meal. The food there is top-notch. That was the only one that kind of fit Mom's needs."

"The rooms are great and well maintained assistance in cleaning every other week the food is great as well quite a few options the services outstanding we're showing a great deal of respect by all of those that serve us here at the varina that more than outstanding willing to help with anything I was ill had two surgeries on my back and neck doing the time of my rehab I received assistance and all that I needed during my time of recovery my food was brought to my room I was contacted as to whether I wanted to eat or not again I feel that this place is full of love joy and concern for each other pet friendly truly this feels just like home with plenty of great neighbors if you're like me with no family here in Arizona I have found a new family here at the varina there is plenty to do well planned activities daily"

"The staff was really outstanding. I actually got to tour with the supervisor of the memory care unit and she was excellent. I've gotten a lot of tours with salespeople/community representatives and they do a good job, but interacting with somebody who is actually there, working with the residents, to me, means a whole lot more. The rooms were spacious and looked good. There's a lot of common areas and they were very well furnished. They were playing games and listening to music. Nobody was sitting in a room doing nothing."

"Truly Living My Golden Years in Style at MBK Senior Living! When my family and I first looked into senior living, I was apprehensive, imagining a quiet, sterile life. But from my first day at MBK Senior Living in Scottsdale, I knew my assumptions were wrong. It has been one of the best decisions of my life. My apartment is a perfect, personal sanctuary bright, beautifully maintained, and blissfully free from the worries of home upkeep. This has been a huge weight off my shoulders. The dining is another daily delight. It’s far beyond a simple meal; it’s a restaurant-style experience. The talented chefs offer a variety of delicious, healthy options, and the waitstaff greets everyone with a warm, personal touch that makes you feel special. The true heart of this community, however, is the staff. Every single person, from the front desk to the wellness team, goes above and beyond, treating residents with a kindness and patience that makes them feel like family. Their genuine compassion fosters a warm, supportive environment where everyone feels valued. I’m not just living here; I’m thriving, active, engaged, and surrounded by people who care. I wholeheartedly recommend MBK to anyone looking for a place to truly enjoy their golden years and enjoy friends in the community."

"I moved into Atria Chandler Villas. I chose it because at this juncture, I do not feel I need to have assisted living or any of those facilities. I wanted to be somewhat independent, and that's what I have. I'm in an apartment, and I'm independent. I can take care of myself. I bathe, I go to the toilet, I feed myself, and I clean up the kitchen. They do have housekeeping here. They come in once a week and take care of that. Most of them are every two weeks, but this is every week they come in. There's transportation daily to get you to your doctor's appointments. So, like today, I have to go to the bank. They're going to drop me off at the bank. So that's been working out well, because I can't drive. I don't even have a car. I have to rely on someone for transportation. So, it had everything that I was looking for. It's spacious. I'm on the second floor, so I have a balcony. It's a one-bedroom unit, so I have a complete bedroom. I have a very large walk-in closet to put clothing in. There is a nice big bathroom and a shower, and the kitchen is very nice. I have a little stove in there, a refrigerator, and a microwave. I have a huge dining room and a living room. Then you come in the front door, and it's very welcoming. They have meals three times a day if you want to go down. And I usually go down in the evening for dinner. I only eat one meal a day there. The food is excellent. They have a limited menu. They have two entrees and two appetizers, soups or salads. They have vegetables and dessert. So, there's plenty to choose from, and it's always done beautifully, very tasty. So, I look forward to the evening meal when I don't have to worry about preparing anything."

"My father-in-law happily chose Brookdale Apache Junction, and he's very excited about moving in. It's just been a positive experience. It is a multi-storied community, and my father-in-law happened to like the third floor. The other thing he liked was that it has a little stove, because he is the fudge maker of the family. He was very pleased with the aura of the community. The people were using walkers and sometimes scooters, but they were all visiting and seemed to be mentally sharp. Almost all of the staff that we spoke with have been there at least five to ten years, which we found very positive. The food was absolutely delicious. It has a pool, a lot of activities, and a lot of mental and social stimulation."

"Mom moved in about three weeks ago. I think they do fairly well dealing with her. The staff seems pretty good, so far. The place looks OK and the location works pretty well for me. Mom is in a double room, which works well enough for what she needs."

"I’d like to leave this review for the park. My father had been looking at it for over three years. Elizabeth was very good with him. Always calling to check in. Make sure everything was going OK and finally got him to move over there. The park is very clean, very friendly. The food is very good. From the moment my father moved in he was making friends being more active. I can’t be happier with his choice of moving into the park. And I cannot rave more about Elizabeth. She was so patient with somebody who is very cautious about every move he makes she did an awesome job and patience. Thanks lizabeth."

"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."

"I went to Scottsdale Village Square. They were very, very detailed in the tour. It was pretty quick, but we got through a lot of information. And so, I think the big thing that they hit on was the activities. They had robust activities, which is important for my dad, just because with cognitive decline we want him engaged as much as possible. Scottsdale was also bring your own furniture. The one I looked at was a one-bedroom and we were waiting for a studio, so that's partially the reason why we didn't go to that one, because the only availability was a one-bedroom, which was more expensive obviously. The staff is very knowledgeable and very friendly. I asked a lot of questions and they answered all of them, and it was a pretty quick discussion, but overall they gave some really good information."

"My husband and I recently moved into Revel on Indian Bend Rd. We had been looking for a senior community for active adults and we found it at Revel! From the moment Gwen and Stewart found us the perfect floor plan and location, to our first dinner prepared by Chef Swan and wine selected by Dinning Room manager John we knew it was a great location. Rachel and Christina have made dinning in the restaurant and a casual drink at the bar fun! We highly recommend touring this great facility!"

"My husband moved to The Village at Ocotillo. There were several things why we chose this place. It was very clean. The staff was very friendly and inviting. Every room is nice. There were a variety of things available. There was an in-house PT, there was a nurse available, and all the things we were looking for were there. I've eaten with my husband many times and the food is on par with a very nice hotel. They have exercise during the week in the mornings. They have movie theaters and a happy hour with someone either singing or playing an instrument at 3:00 on two days a week. They have many activities. They have a van that will take you places and anywhere you want to go."
