Independent Living Communities in Yuma, AZ

"We are on the waiting list at Desert Rose. We want a 2-bedroom, and there are none available at this time. I have a very dear friend living there also. I'm very familiar with what it's like, including the dining room, the activities, and everything. They did take me on a tour just recently, and everything was real nice. It looked really great. It is very warm and very bright. The rooms were all very light. They have good windows. I liked that it wasn't dark and gloomy. The manager went to the kitchen and brought me back a pie to take home, which was real nice. They have lots of activities, the library, the beauty salon, and exercise programs. They have a minister there on Sundays. On Wednesday evenings he does bible study, which is very nice. They have activities for making things, like decorations for Valentine's Day. The staff was very nice. I saw the residents playing a game in the lobby, and they have a television where they have movies."

"Emerald Springs Senior Living was a very, very nice and clean place. You walk in and it's just this big and beautiful living room area with beautiful furniture. Then they have a dining room that serves 3 meals a day. They have different accommodations. They have a 1-bedroom, a 2-bedroom, and a studio apartment with a little adjacent room. They had beautiful grounds with lots of places to walk and sit outside. The staff who took me around was very nice, very knowledgeable, and helpful. They had a ballroom where all the different activities were going on. They showed movies, did crafts, and played cards."

"My mother moved into Yuma Senior Living. What I like best is that she has a small apartment, not a room. She's got a living room, a restroom, and a full-sized bedroom large enough for a king-sized bed. They come by every day and pick up the trash. If she's not well, meals are served in her room, but the dining room is fabulous. I tried the food, and it was delicious. They have lots of activities. They have free laundry. You can do your own laundry for assisted living. You can use your furniture, or you can use their furniture. There are two flat-screen TVs in the 3-room apartment, a small refrigerator, and a microwave in every room. They come once a week to change the linens and clean the room. They supply fresh towels and sheets on the bed. My mother has been there for a little over a month, and she loves it."

"My father-in-law moved into River Valley Estates Senior Living and Memory Care. When I walked in, it felt calming and was clean and modern. It was updated. It just gave you a good vibe. You felt like this was a nice place to be. They take care of them there and call us if there are any issues. If we have any issues, we call them, and they take good care of them right away. So, I have no complaints. They do different activities with them. There's a set time. They have him doing things. He's not just in his room, which is nice. They make sure that they try to get him out there to go and socialize with them. The dining area is nice and big. The food was good because we ate there with him one day. They give them more than enough. The biggest reason I chose them is because the memory care area is very big and welcoming."
