Five years ago, our father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and recently we faced what may be the…read moremost heart-wrenching decision our family has ever had to make together. For 25 years, we've called Anthem home. We've driven past Anthem Senior Living countless times, never imagining that one day we would walk through those doors seeking help for someone we love so deeply. When that day finally came, we were overwhelmed--drowning in guilt, grief, confusion, and doubt that seemed to pull us in every direction at once. That's when we met Sam Ile. With extraordinary kindness and understanding, Sam helped us see what our hearts were struggling to accept: that choosing professional care for our dad wasn't giving up--it was giving him what he truly needed. Sam gently reminded us that by entrusting his daily care to those who are trained and devoted to this calling, we could reclaim something precious: the ability to simply be his wife and children again. To hold his hand, share stories, and treasure our remaining time together, rather than being consumed by the exhausting demands of caregiving. We are grateful to have found such a small, intimate community so close to home. Knowing that our dad is just minutes away brings us immeasurable comfort. We can visit whenever our hearts need to see him, share a meal, or simply sit together and share memories. This move has transformed what could have felt like a separation into something that feels more like an extension of home--and for that, we are grateful. The Grothouse Family

In a time of great anxiety I was touring multiple facilities looking for a place for my mom. This…read morewas our first place and quickly became the standard I set for the rest that I toured! Yvette took me through the whole facility. It was warm, welcoming and so peaceful. Mom would be staying in the memory care. It was so safe, quiet and very intimate. It's set up almost like a Montessori school. They only take around 20 residents in the memory care. I was so grateful they had an opening for her! They have a ratio of about 1 care giver to 5 residents. They had amazing safety systems set up for caring for their residents! We had superb gentle nurses and caregivers like Arrietta and Delores! They looked after mom like she was their own. So protective! There was Pablo who at nights would stay close and talk to mom's room/door so she would feel comfortable and sleep! From the moment she arrived at Orchard Point earlier than expected, Yvette and Patty the Director took such amazing care of her. Even answering their personal cellphones late late at night on our first night there. I was expecting voicemail but they took my call and jumped into action! They quickly helped with any accommodations she/we needed. They helped us as her family find support for her! They and all of the staff in the Memory Care are a family! It felt like home. The residents mom spent time with were so happy. Everyone was active, clean, needs being met! There was not one single resident who wasn't being loved and cared for! Orchard Pointe was such a blessing for us in a painful journey! They took care of us! They took care of us so we could set back and breathe! Orchard Pointe is a Home and a Family! My mom has passed but we will be eternally grateful to have found Yvette, Patty and everyone at Orchard Pointe! They truly love and care for their residents and their families! Thank you everyone at Orchard Pointe for taking care of Mom and me to!

There is so much JOY in the residents and the teams that work with them and there is a true sense of comradery, family and connection. As seniors age, mental and physical capacity may become diminished, but there is still so much spark in the residents I have worked with here and I truly believe it's because the teams working for the communities foster such a wonderful spirit of love and togetherness. They speak hopefully, lovingly and faithfully and it really reflects in the faces and eyes of those who live here. They are committed to loving the residents and you see it! I am not just saying this because I have worked with them for several years doing marketing photography, but because I truly do see a special difference in these communities. Heritage is truly top-notch and a place I've already started comfortably recommending to family friends, because I believe they have something truly special.

Though my parent enjoys it at the Manor, I've been concerned about continuous increases in the rent and fees, especially the latest increase of just shy of 15%! This latest increase seems to have pushed residents "over the edge," with several now moving out to nicer and cheaper alternatives. The Manor seems to have also lost several good and caring employees that we really liked. I'm starting to get concerned about the trends I've been witnessing. I hope these trends don't continue.

A perfect home for my mother! We recently moved my mom (88)…read morefrom a 55+ apartment complex to Manor Village. We were looking for a facility where more eyes would be on her and she could get Care if she needed it. We toured many independent/assisted living facilities in the Scottsdale and Phoenix area. When we walked in the door at Manor Village, we knew we had found Moms new home. We were greeted by Wesley Wilkins who provided us with a tour and as we moved throughout the building, Wesley knew all the residents that we came in contact with as well as employees. You could tell he really enjoys his job and every employee we talk with had a smile on their face. The entire building had a wonderful vibe and the residence we interacted with were so welcoming and friendly. We feel confident that if any emergency or care is needed, Mom is in the right place. It is now been a couple of months since she moved in and we could not be any happier. It has been such a positive experience and I would highly recommend Manor Village if you're looking for a facility that will treat your loved one like family. We want to give a special shout out to the following employees who have made my mom's move such a success. Wesley, Lisa, JoAnna, Medhia, & Abria.

The cleaning staff come often. While we were sitting in her room, a staff person came to visit. She was there to help bathe our friend, but said she would come back later. It was an enjoyable visit.

The meals, now delivered to apartments due to the pandemic, are excellent. The once-a-week maid service is thorough and excellent.

The apartments are designed for older people like us and there is always immediate assistance which can be summoned if needed. We know many people here whom we have been friends with over our many years in Phoenix and we all agree that this is a wonderful place. We cannot think of a better place to spend our final years-in comfort and safety and with plenty of things to do and enjoy. We recommend Sagewood heartily
