Independent Living Communities in Henderson, NV

"I think Merrill Gardens at Green Valley Ranch was the most beautiful one -- the best one actually -- in my opinion; however, my sister isn’t coming here until the end of October. They were very nice. I like it a lot. If it was my choice, I would probably be there, but it is not for me; it’s for my sister. The lady at Merrill Gardens was excellent. I thought it was a very lovely place. However, there was no activity going on at that time. "

"So far, Revel Nevada has been pretty good. The place is spotless. The staff has been awesome. It's been a great experience for us and there's quite a few activities here. I just had some of the meals today for the first time, and it's very, very good. The value is great. You get what you pay for. So right now, everything is perfect and I couldn't ask for anything better."

"We had the absolute best experience at Siena Hills. Our Mom lived there for 13 months and our only regret is that she couldn't have been there longer. It was that great. When we were first advised by Doctors that our Mom couldn't be living alone anymore we were literally panic stricken. We knew in our hearts she wouldn't be happy just living with us, yet at the same time she couldn't go home to live alone. We were very conflicted. We toured every single facility in the Henderson area, we even reached out to tour some in the Las Vegas area and this was the ONLY facility where we felt somewhat even half comfortable enough to entrust the care of our precious mother to. From the moment we met April F. and toured the facility we had a great gut feeling. Everyone was super nice and very genuine. The facility was spotless and smelled like a hotel. We tried the food and it was excellent. We took a leap of faith and figured we would try it and if it didn't work out we would just give the 30 day notice and move her out. In the beginning it wasn't easy by any means, Mom just wanted to "go home" and didn't care how beautiful, clean and engaging the place was. It could have been the Ritz Carlton she didn't care. She found fault with everything. We knew what she was really saying, she just wanted to go home. To her home. It's what she knew and what she was used to. I made a deal with her. I asked her to just give it six months. I promised her if in six months if you still "hated it" (as she so often loved to say), we would make other arrangements and move her out. That day never came. Little by little our Mom adjusted. She got into a routine, made friends and secretly started to like it. For 13 beautiful months our Mom (and her dog) were spoiled and engaged. It was so nice seeing her be independent again going out on the bus shopping or hanging out with her new friends enjoying the happy hours and the live music they have there. At home she wasn't doing any of that. While she would never give us the satisfaction of ever telling us how happy she was, we had the blessing of hearing it from other people and she suddenly stopped asking when the six months would be up. Family and friends commented on how happy Mom was living in her "resort" as they referred to it. She told them she loved it. Moving a parent into any assisted living facility is never easy, but when you have such a great staff that is so engaged and genuinely interested in your happiness and well being that can often make all the difference in the world. It did for us. For the first time in years my Mom was doing fantastic medically and that is a direct attribute to the type of care she received at Siena. If she didn't remember to go eat they would remind her, her medications were managed to perfection and no one hesitated to call us if they suspected something was even just a tiny bit not right. They were our extra set of eyes that we so desperately needed to keep our Mom safe and well and they excelled at it. I could go on and on and I know this review may seem a bit over the top but after the last five years we had, with all the ups and downs of her living alone, this past year with her living there was an absolute blessing. We are forever grateful for our experience at Siena Hills. Five stars is not nearly enough to describe the experience we had. It was that good. HIGHLY recommend this facility! There is NO other place we ever would have even remotely considered for our Mom. It was that nice. Thank you Siena Hills for making our Mom's last year a memorable one. "

"I moved into Cactus Valley Retirement Resort. So far, they have been fine. I do not have a washer and dryer in my apartment yet, but they've promised me those will be here today. So that was my only disappointment when I got here. Everybody has been very helpful. I have a one-bedroom apartment, and it's very nice. They have two- and three-bedroom units. They have a lot of activities. The meals are wonderful so far, and there are three meals. You can go to a cafeteria and sit down or have 24-hour room service at no extra charge. They have a large theater, lots of meeting rooms, a huge exercise room, all kinds of activity rooms, and a beauty shop. They have a concierge who takes care of all your little details. The interaction with the staff has been wonderful. The manager has been very helpful, and the marketing director has been wonderful. The real estate agent doesn't work here, but he's like family. He's been wonderful, and he moved me here. You have a name tag, and everybody greets you, so it's very friendly. They have a nice variety and quality of food. I like where my apartment is because it's near the elevator, so it's very convenient. It's a little pricey."

"I liked the way Sterling Ridge Senior Living was set up, but I really didn't like the area. The staff who assisted me with the tour was very welcoming. They had different activities for their residents, and they had a pool. The facility had a very inviting atmosphere."

"My brother moved into Revel Vegas. I'm very impressed and that's why we chose it. They have restaurant-style meals, and a waiter takes your order. They have transportation any time you want it. I think you get three round trip lifts per week and the concierge will order them for you, so you don't have to worry. Those are the two things that we like. He loves it there. The food is great, the people are wonderful, and everybody's great. I know they have activities. They have movie nights, fishing trips, they go to museums, and they go to state parks for walks. I will say it's not cheap, but it is gorgeous and has wonderful amenities. He's happy there and that's the main thing."
