Most of the care givers and other residents here are really nice. The activities director is awesome and really good to work with but I do wish at times there were more activities that I would be interested in. Sometimes they do not have enough care givers here so the response time is slower, that could be a big improvement. I also wish they would listen to the residents more often at times.
Read moreMy husband has been in residence for one year and I have been there almost every night to sit with him and put him to bed. For the last 11 weeks I have not been able to be with him and at first I thought know one could take my place. I do Skype him twice a day and he is very happy. I watch the back images and I see the wonderful staff showing love to the men and women in their care. They have done things they have never done before, like cutting hair, and I must say doing a very good job. The live music is still a big part and is happening due to technology. This is a loving place and also a happy place. They do not sit around all day but are active and having fun. They are safe due to the caring staff. We are kept up every night with the activities and are kept informed of their health situation. Thank you to all the loving staff.
Read moreA nice place to live! Strong points: residents are delightful. They are friendly, inclusive, fun and smart. Staff are always pleasant, kind, and caring and anxious to help. The units are extra large and very nice. Activities are plentiful, interesting. Downside: 1. slow to provide maintenance. 2. Food is marginal and undependable communication by leadership is moderate.

Scottsdale’s public transportation is provided by Valley Metro, which services the greater Phoenix area. Valley Metro consists mainly of a bus and rail system, both of which operate daily from early morning hours to late at night, and cover a vast stretch of the city. Discounted fare rates are offered to seniors 65 years of age or older, Medicaid members, and those with disabilities.
As part of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, Scottsdale is conveniently located next to several highly regarded medical facilities. The highest-performing hospitals in the area are Mayo Clinic – Phoenix, Banner University Medical Center, and Chandler Regional Medical Center.
Scottsdale’s frequent number of sunny days, its low precipitation, and low humidity make for some ideal golfing conditions whenever the mood may strike. The city has courses to fit every taste, skill level, and budget, and it’s no wonder that many consider Scottsdale to be one of the country’s best locations for golfing. Outdoor enthusiasts who prefer scenery without sports should visit the Desert Botanical Garden, a 55-acre preserve of desert plant life and serene beauty. Visitors can put their city lives aside and observe numerous types of trees and flowers from all over the world. Another of Scottsdale’s claims to fame is its reputation as a resort town. The city contains over 50 day spas and luxury resorts to help you unwind in this tranquil desert setting after a long day. Also of note is the region’s culinary scene — from high-end Mexican cuisine; to steak, wine bars, and seafood; Scottsdale offers dining options to suit all palettes and preferences.
