Memory Care Communities in Anthem, AZ

"We toured Inspira Arrowhead for my mom. It was very nice. The lady that gave us the tour was very informative and answered all our questions, and we liked it. My mom liked their rooms and the whole facility, and how they got it set up. She liked everything that was available to her at the facility. They had a theater and all sorts of different projects and activities. They are advertising for those activities, and she could see it on a schedule. They got trips that she can make with a vehicle to her doctor. The biggest thing she liked was that they could do her hair dressing right there. The place looked really nice. The dining area was really nice. We I talked to the chef, and we saw the eating area, the cafeteria."

"Vi at Silverstone has a ridiculous non-refundable fee, but the room is fantastic. It is a very nice place. I met the residents. They were all very nice and very happy there. The food was OK. The room is almost like an apartment. You can have a two-bedroom or a single bedroom, and then you have a big dining room. They have certain activities, too. The place is very clean and very well maintained; however, it is definitely not somewhere where you can have people has no means to go to. They wouldn't allow dogs, which is ridiculous. I thought it was a little bit exuberant. Considering the cost, I don't think it is reasonable for normal person. I met a few people who were all very happy. I didn't see an unhappy face."

"We liked Brookdale Desert Ridge. They had music going, and the residents were dancing, clapping, and having a good time. However, we didn't see that many staff. The dining area was very nice. The decor was nice and not too modern, and my mom would be comfortable with that. They gave me a schedule of their weekly activities. They keep them pretty busy. They had a patio outside and a little area for gardening and for them to sit out, and a salon. The facility was very clean."

"I thought the staff did a great job of making the residents feel comfortable and as if they were at home. The facilities looked clean and brand new. There weren't really any negative aspects of the facility. I thought though that the staff could've done a better job of cleaning the toilets. There were a couple surprises left for me when I first entered a couple times. The people there are very friendly and know what they're doing though. They treat each resident gently and guide them in the right direction. I would probably send my parents to this facility when it's their time. I would also recommend this facility for anybody who is looking for an Assisted Living Facility. I've been to numerous facilities in Arizona, but I can honestly say that this one is top class and one of the best. I, myself, would love to live here. I haven't been treated with the respect they show in a while. It would be a great opportunity to reside there. "

"I love this place. Thank you for taking care of my mama. The staff is excellent. I took care of her at home for years and this allows both of us to be able to do the things we like. "

"The staff was fabulous, and the woman who met with us was very helpful, guided us, and really took time to speak with us. The facility in the main lobby was really lovely, and they also had individual casitas; we did not tour those, but that was a very strong point for us to transition my dad that would have been a good choice. My husband’s has been here before; he has been there to visit a friend of his, and he was very impressed with it. He had eaten in the dining room too. "

"My mother is currently in the Vi at Grayhawk. The overall experience has been fine. Everything has been very, very good, especially with COVID; they have gone above and beyond to keep everybody safe. They're very diligent, very good, and I have nothing bad to say about them at all. They have laundry, although there was even a while that we stopped the housekeeping, because we didn't want anybody in her room. They do have amenities, but we haven't been able to experience them very much because she's been locked in her room. The dining room is closed, the library is closed, all of the classes are closed, and any of the arts and crafts, fun, music, and anything like that is closed down. It is a big complex. It’s one of those things that you buy into, you can live in a house in the neighborhood, and progressively as you get older, you move into the other areas. It's a reasonable expense for care."

"So far, having Mom at Senita Ridge Senior Living has been a good experience. Everybody's been very helpful. They sent a nurse to our home to evaluate her before having her come there. She has a shared room. The activities are good. They play bingo, they have several sitting areas for the residents to sit and watch TV, and they actually do horse racing where they have to stick horses basically with weighted bottoms, and then they roll some giant dice, and that determines how many spaces your horse moves up. They also get together for snacks every day. They have people come to do live singing/entertainment and they have an open patio area in the center of the community where any of the residents can go out if they want to."

"I have been here many times. I do shows, and we have been there for years entertaining those folks. The caregivers are exceptional. The people seem happy and safe, and the staff seem to communicate well."

"It was nice. The people were very polite and nice too. If I remember correctly, Montecito had casinos. We looked at that and it was okay. It was an older place, it was like 20 years old. We toured their independent living and the staff were extremely kind, they were knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. It was very pleasant and they were very proud of where they were. It was a nice location, the staff was excellent, and you could tell from the different people who live there that they are friendly with the staff so that was nice too. "

"We settled on them, and we like the amenities and the whole general look and layout of the place. They have two meals a day. The gardens around it are very nice. The room sizes are to our liking, especially the two-bedroom unit. Just based on the tour, we thought it was a very good place. It's on the top of the list."

"We visited Adobe Country Gables, and that was immaculately clean. I was just kind of turned off because the staff wanted to talk about how other places do it, and I don't want to hear about other places, I wanted to know about them. It was a very nice home, beautiful, and I loved it. It was clean, and the people were very nice. My mom talked to one of the clients, and I talked to the guy, and from what he was saying, he was the owner, and he's been doing it for 14 years. But like I said, he was telling me how other houses do it. Well, that's the only thing that put me off about it; he was not telling me more about his house, but he was very nice. There were no smells. There were four or five clients sitting in the living room watching TV."

"I visited The Woodmark at Sun City, and it seems to be a really nice facility. It’s also very clean. The people were very helpful. The rooms were of good size, and their dining area was very nice. They had a lot of dining rooms with one on each floor. "

"My mother in-law moved into Brookdale. She has an apartment with a living room, a kitchen, and a bedroom. The facility has a restaurant, walking paths, a theater, and game rooms. They have 17 items on the menu at all times and three entrées for each meal. The food is great; I wouldn’t have my mother-in-law there if it wasn’t. "
