Avista Apache Junction

What we like most about this community is that it is smaller so you do get to know everyone that is there. Also I am there enough that they even know me when I call over the phone. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families looking for a place for their loved ones.

They lost her [fee removed]. Hearing aids as well as some clothes. After [name removed] had been there for a few days, I was called on a Friday afternoon to come and pick her up as she kept trying to leave the facility. They then required that she have anti anxiety drugs to return. I arranged for that and she returned to the community on Tuesday. I was then called Friday evening to come pick up [name removed] as she had gotten out of the facility and was all full of scratches from making it into the bushes. They had not given her any of the anti anxiety drug. They were very friendly, enthusiastic people. They have no business dealing with people who have Alzheimer's and are still very mobile.

I am very happy with the support we receive from everyone that works there. They are going through a shortage in their personnel. . . Sadly they no longer have a chef, which disturbs my mom. But she loves all the people that are there to help her.

The staff at Aurora Place were wonderful to my mom and to our family. Mom was on Hospice for two months before her passing. They all worked together to give her the best care possible. I would recommend Aurora Place to my family, friends and neighbors. We could not have picked a better place for my mom to spend her last six months.

We toured Aurora Place and this facility would have been our second choice. The friendliness was good. The cleanliness was also good from what we saw during the tour.

Aurora Place had constant roof water leaks, couldn't keep AC units running, a med tech refused to take my loved one to the restroom during dinner hour resulting in soiling themselves. and then that med tech wielded our loved one to their room after dinner and put them back in her chair, still soiled. our loved one had diarrhea for 2 weeks, the resident RN and other staff did not assist in trying to figure out the cause. then when I removed my loved one from the facility, I was handed their medications and discovered they had not given our loved one 5 days of their blood pressure and stroke medications. Aurora place is extremely dangerous. if I could give them a zero rating I would. a rating of one is much too generous as far as I'm concerned.

I love Aurora Place. While the cost is difficult for me, it is worth the cost. The management is fabulous. The staff are generally happy, and that is a direct result of good management. I toured several places in the same price range, and this place is a clear winner. It has a wonderful courtyard in the center where it is safe for people with memory issues to go outside. It's a quiet location, with no loud traffic. And management is just extra caring and involved.

I loved Aurora Place, I told my husband we should even look into it. They had so many things offered amenities wise for the residents. My favorite that I saw was the happy hour that they have. We were thoroughly impressed by the tour.

before covid, the facility was very clean, and they had medical staff come in for the residence. They a barbershop at the facility too. The room sizes are small, and the grounds are kept nice. They have a courtyard for the residence to use. I would recommend this community to others if you have the money to afford it

They very kind and supportive to me and my Mom.

This is a kind of place that I will not recommend to anybody for their parents. I understand the rules for COVID and restriction, but kindness and care has to be expected. Caregiver is not only a job, it is a caring attitude and compassion, that it is not find on this place. Keeping people in a prison like environment and expected to be paid is wrong. My mom a 93 year old woman with intact mind and feeling, cried as she stated that did not expect after a life of work to be improvement and paid for room and board. Better to be in a real prison. As about care, medication given constantly late and even the caregivers had to be called and reminded that the time for meds is long passed, Hygiene poor, and the laundry constantly lost. In 3 years, we had to buy so many times, towels, clothes, bed sets - . No activities, no social interaction among the residents, very poor atmosphere, even when the were no restriction, there is no difference. Anyway enough said - Finally we took mom away from this place

My Mom lives with me and is visually impaired at 90 years of age. I wanted to get away to visit friends and take a vacation. It is hard to find someone who you can trust will take care of her and make her feel at home. I never have to worry about the care she is given at Aurora Place. The staff is very friendly. Her meals and personal needs are provided for along with some activities she can enjoy. She loves Aurora Place and looks forward to her stay when I am away from home. Mom has decided that when it is time for her to go to a facility full time, she would choose Aurora Place.

This is the kind of place I am looking for. Willing to interact with the residents and care for them the rest of their life

My father-in-law was here till he passed and it was nice. They took good care of him, he couldn't walk so his needs were high. They would make sure he was clean and up out of his bed. They would take him outside. Took him to the dining room to feed him. They washed his clothes and just treated him like a real person. It is very homey here and the administration ladies were amazing. I would recommend them to other families.

My family has not had a good experience with this community. First of all, the food is bad and even other people have said so. Secondly, most of the CNAs are really nice and the building is very nice and clean, but there’s one nursing assistant that’s been very nasty. We reported her because of a few instances where she made my loved one feel uncomfortable with the things she’s said. Even after reporting her, she has continued to be rude. She’s told my loved one horrible things and has laughed at her. There have been plenty of other people that have reported her and we’re really afraid that she might do something to hurt my loved one in retaliation. Other than the assistant, everyone else has been really nice and my loved one likes them. I’m hoping the facility does something about the assistant so my loved one can continue to live there.

We recently moved our mother in and we could not be more pleased with her new home. It's such a warm inviting environment. Everyone from the staff to the residents are so pleasant. My moms studio apartment is perfect in size for her, not to large and not small it's not just an open space but a comfortable area with its own private bathroom, kitchenette, and even a small area for a bistro table. I am truly grateful that we found this place. My mom is happy and so are we. Thank you Aurora Place.

We moved Mom to Aurora Place from one of the big name assisted living places. She is so happy at Aurora, out doing activities and making friends and socializing again. The building and grounds are always very clean and well maintained. Meals are wonderful and served in a dining room with linen tablecloths and napkins! They have an RN on staff 24/7, (most places only have an LPN) and Aurora's caregivers are very friendly and truly care for the residents in their care. The building is 1 story so no worries about stair or elevator accidents. Aurora Place is an assisted living hidden gem in Apache Junction.

I like the care that my mother is getting from the nice staff. We found the community to always be clean and maintained. The menu is appealing and she is please with the variety. We know that she is liking the activiites that are offered . We would highly recommend this community to other families for the care and the value of a loved ones care.

My Father was at Aurora Place for 2 months. They were so accommodating making my father as comfortable as possible, even moving his room to be closer to the Nurses station when he started having problems with pain. The staff is extremely dedicated and professional notably [Removed]. They went above and beyond to make sure dad was as comfortable as possible, especially in his final days. The facility is super clean and the staff nothing but first class professionals. It takes a dedicated person to provide elder care, the professionals at Aurora Place are THE BEST. Pricing was more than fair, I highly recommend Aurora Place as a place you can trust will provide a caring environment to your elderly loved one.

Staff not friendly. Nurse very rude & arguing with staff & residents. Not professional, no confindentuality.
