Recent reviews of Independent Living in Waddell, AZ
3.5 / 5.0

As one walks through the front door one gets a nice first impression. You get a variety of meals especially at lunch and dinner. Breakfast is typical with a choice of eggs( except poached). Bacon, or ham. Omelets. Nice large pool that hardly anyone uses. Overall a nice place.

4.4 / 5.0

People and staff are friendly and activities are great! My mom has been concerned about food quality lately and knows there have been meetings regarding overall impressions of food. I would recommend The Palazzo to others looking.

3.1 / 5.0

The 5 is totally based on the administrator. She is really nice. If she wasn't there it would be terrible. I don't like that it all depends on this one person. There are too many animals. Too many stray cats. Trash, trash, too much trash!
