Nursing Home Communities in Glendale, AZ

"I'm a resident since January and I'm so happy here. I'm disabled due to severe rheumatoid arthritis and a stroke. Living alone got to be impossible. This place is very clean and stays that way. The food is great and portions are plenty. Here they have the most amazing staff. Janitors,House keeping, Maintenance,CNAs, RNs, Kitchen staff, Case Managers, Supervisors...it's all about the Patient's and Residents. They care and it shows. I've been to several in Phoenix and Life care of Glendale blow's the others right out of the water. The difference is Day and Night. I'm very grateful to be here."

"Excellent, professionally run facility. Lovely, large rooms. Caring, compassionate staff. The food was excellent and well prepared. Excellent Rehab staff. It was like staying at a 5-star hotel! "

"My husband is in a skilled nursing facility called Center at Arrowhead, LLC. It's a good place. It's clean, and he is well taken care of. The people do their job well. He's been there almost three weeks now. They cannot do therapy if he has pain in his leg. He's the only one in his room. It only has one bed. The whole building and the surrounding area are clean. The inside and the outside are clean. The people working there are clean. The bathroom is clean. The staff is good and friendly, and they care for my husband. The meals are also good. Everything is OK for me."

"My friend is residing in The Forum at Desert Harbor. We liked the way the building was maintained. The residents were friendly, and the activities they provided especially appealed to my friend. The room has very classic lines, it kinda takes from the Spanish decor with plenty of light, well-lit, and very spacious. They have regular concerts in the afternoon, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, they take a bus for some kind of shopping experience. My friend gave up his truck, so they provide transportation within ten miles for him to his doctor's appointments and his speech therapy appointments. That's very helpful, and it's a beautiful car driven by a very nice man. Every night after dinner, they play some kind of card game and there's usually a blackjack game during the day, a lot of things he likes over there. There's a beautiful lake right there at the back fence and he loves walking along the lake. I think also that it was a very good value. I liked that the staff were not patronizing. They treated the residents like the grown adults that they are. The only thing I didn't like was you'd have to go through the dining room to get to the elevator. And that is secure, but not easy to do. It's easy to drive to, it's close to the freeways."

"This is a friendly, caring community of and for seniors. I have lived here 12 years, and though employees come and go on occasion, it has provided outstanding service for these years. And the facility is a reasonable size. Covid certainly affected the familiar, but care and services continued as before. The facility is currently undergoing upgrading."

"We toured Freedom Plaza Arizona. We thought it was great, it is beautiful inside and spacious. The thing we did not like was the cost, it was pretty high. We have friends there, so we saw their apartments and it was very large. We did eat there, and it was excellent. They had a beautiful pool, a beautiful workshop, and a separate room to do things in. They had a beautiful lobby. The staff were excellent and very nice."

"I stayed in the Providence Place at Glencroft. The facility was well-kept, modern, and up-to-date. The rooms were nice. They were either one bedroom or double. I was in a one-bedroom. The staff members were very professional. I was provided the exercise, and they had machines to do it on. They came every day. There were small cafes on each floor and a main dining room on the first floor. The food is excellent and very healthy. You get to pick what you want within your dietary rules."

"My mom was in rehab at Freedom Plaza Care Center for 12 days. I loved everything about the facility. I loved the cost-effectiveness of everything, no matter what skilled assistance they needed. You didn't have to buy any packages to go along on top of what was being paid every month. Some facilities start at a low range and then in the event that you need more, they give you the cost of packages. Whereas at Freedom it was all-inclusive, is what we were told. The thing that my mother did not like about the place was more of the food, but this was only her taste. She had to be on a heart-healthy food diet. Things did not taste as good as she had hoped, but then they had a deli or a little cafe in there that she had gone to, which she loved. They have a beauty salon. They have workout rooms. They do advertise a pool or a spa, but they do not have that installed because the pandemic has hit and they just decided not to open it. Everyone is friendly. The manager was wonderful in explaining things. He knew everyone's name. The case manager, the front desk staff, and, I don't remember the others, but the skilled nursing staff were on top of everything. They have a music room. They have one that has a piano in it. They have bands that come in sometimes. They've got a game room, a TV room, a movie room, and a gym. They have activities where they go off campus to wherever they're going to go. They also have rides to and from the doctors. They do not provide companions but they do assist with the rides to the doctor's office or appointments. They have bingo, puzzles, and games. It was just a friendly place."

"Can't tell you how caring everyone was with my very ill Mother-In-Law at this facility during our very difficult journey. From every nurse, caregiver, cleaning staff and even the kitchen, they all did everything they could to check on her regularly and make her comfortable. The facility was convenient and clean. They were exactly what we needed for our loved one, when we needed it. There are several levels of care there and you really get a feeling that they are a close community/family. Whether it is short term or long term, when you have a loved one who needs this type of specialized care it is never a good thing; but when you do, highly recommend Plaza Del Rio to take care of them. "

"My mother has been in Glendale Care Center since 2007 with dementia and I have never seen anyone treat her badly. They have gone out of their way to do everything for her to make her comfortable. I don't know what that person that wrote the other review saw, but it must have been in their dreams. This is one of the cleanest places I have ever been and believe I have even worked in many of them. You are going to have a time when there is a smell, after meals when the staff changes all the diapers. There is no way that you can change that many diapers at one time and not get a smell. It goes away. They have music, they take them to baseball games, stores etc. and their food there is excellant. My daughter and I would pay $2.00 for a meal ticket and the food is terrific. I would recommend this nursing home to anyone. My mother is now passing and they are there for her. God Bless them. "

"The rooms are spacious and we'll maintained! Staff was friendly and caring. Bingo and daily activities! Nature walks on manicured and secured property."

"I was impressed with The Gardens of Sun City. The only reason we didn't go with that one was because my mother-in-law thought the apartment was too small. Otherwise, we would be moving her there. I liked it very much. When my mother-in-law looked at a copy of their menu, she was very impressed. The people were professional, very understanding, empathetic, and helpful. They had a theater, a library, a game room, and a salon. The restaurant was very open. The residents order from the menu. It looked quite impressive. The gardens were lush and green with beautiful sitting areas outside."

"My dad has had some health issues form6 months now. Short time in hospital released to health rehabs. After 2 stays at 2 other rehab centers that we called 911 to get him back to hospital. Other two rehab his health would decline and due to neglect or not addressing fevers needed hospital attention. The other two rehabs have left us traumatized. Mind you we keep an eye on him as much as we can. Banner Boswell was amazing! Dad got the monitoring needed and the care. It took a while but with their constant monitoring we were able to sleep at night knowing he was in great hands! Please know wherever your loved one is sent you have rights! You can call 911 or discharge to a different facility if you don't feel your loved one is getting the care they need. We found out the hard way."

"My mom spent a month at Christian Care Health Center. But they changed settings where patients needed to be more independent, so we had to transfer her to another facility. The building was not brand spanking new and it was just a small building, but it was also very quaint. I had to put a couple of those lavender tablets in the toilet tank because the bathroom seemed to smell even though it was clean because the plumbing was older. And I had put in a diffuser in her room. Her room could have used a little bit of a paint job, too. But overall, it was comfortable. They had a courtyard centerpiece floor plan and the dining room was facing the courtyard. So it's nice because when the residents were eating, they could see the outdoors. There was a lot of natural sunlight coming in. The thing that made up the difference was that the CNAs were good. The nurses were outstanding. The director of nursing was always available and always willing to offer any help or resolution. Her door was always open. She was super, super nice, and just ready to jump in there and listen to any concerns we had. We didn't have many, but whenever I would bring anything to her attention, she was just all ears, all eyes, and all attention. Their activities director, Tammy, was superb. She was so kind, so compassionate, and so engaging with the residents. She was just one of a kind. Their housekeeping department was good. And when you walked in the door, the lady who greeted you was outstanding. It was really hard to leave that facility because the staff was so good."
