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. They have their own parking lot.

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.

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.

Acoya Shea has been a wonderful transition spot for my mom over the last couple of months…read more.. We were impressed with it from our initial tour. The staff have always been friendly and helpful and the residents genuinely love living here. There is a variety of daily activities for those that want to participate, quality food onsite (all meals included), and plenty of additional amenities that help make living here super convenient. It's also a great location just east of Scottsdale on Shea. The apartments themselves are a great size and the entire facility is clean and vibrant. I'm not sure if this will be "home" for the long term for my mom, but it has been perfect for the time being.

My friend and her husband recently moved into Acoya Shea. I didn't even realize that this…read moreretirement/assisted living facility was even at this location (across from Butterfield's restaurant, near Shea and Scottsdale) because it's such a new property. Yesterday, I went to visit them and have lunch with them at their facility's restaurant. From the moment I walked in, I marveled at how new and beautiful everything looked. There was even a slight smell of fresh paint to add to the newness. The decor in the lobby was gorgeous and upscale, with high ceilings, inventive light fixtures, and lots of seating. The restaurant offers sit-down service. They have daily specials and a soup of the day. They had a good variety of sandwiches, salads, soups, and desserts for lunch. The brownie was my favorite part of the meal. It was decadent! This facility allows for small pets. There is a dog run area outside. There's also a heated pool and a gorgeous seating area outside with a large television mounted on the wall. My friend showed me the activity schedule. They offer many fitness and enrichment classes, such as art classes in the art studio. There are also bridge, rummikub, and mahjong groups that meet on a regular basis. This facility is not yet at 100% capacity. I would definitely recommend booking a tour if you are in the market for retirement living, assisted living, or memory care.

I was genuinely troubled to see the memory care director, Laurin, leave her position. Having worked…read morewith her a few months ago, I can say she was an extraordinarily loving, patient, and empathetic leader -- the kind of advocate this facility needs. I don't blame her for leaving at all. What concerns me most is something I witnessed firsthand: while waiting to speak with her, I overheard a conversation between her and the executive director. His tone was belittling, and he spoke about writing up and firing staff in a way that felt dismissive of the people actually doing the caregiving. Given that, it's hardly surprising how many memory care directors have come and gone. It's worrying to think this same leadership will be opening a new, state-of-the-art center -- I have real concerns about whether the culture behind the scenes matches the polish out front. I don't typically write reviews, but after learning Laurin had left and seeing firsthand how unsanitary and rundown the common areas have become, I felt I owed it to other families to speak up. This is memory care -- the residents here are especially vulnerable, and I think that raises the stakes on all of this considerably.

He praised the staff are more friendly and available, the food are better, even the air is fresher compared to the last assisted home he stayed at for 4 years.

My only suggestion is I wish the med techs have a desk with a chair, so they don't have to be on the feet all day.

Colleen, past Director of Medical Dept., has been extremely helpful during the tenure of my mom's residence. All of the nursing staff are exceptionally professional, and caring as well. There is not a better facility for Dementia patients than Scottsdale Memory Care. Oh, and the food preparation is awesome! Thank you Tracy!

When they see family members come in, they act like they're super caring, but I've caught them several times ignoring the residents. Most of the residents look beat up and bruised from falling because they weren't being watched. The staff are thieves. Management could care less about anything. And your nickel and dimed for everything, you think you pay one price but your bill is several thousand dollars a month more. I was told one thing several times, but they never stick to their word they do what they want. I've never met a bunch of more uncaring people in my whole entire life.

It was good for quite a while, but now (Fall 2019) it is in turmoil. It is woefully understaffed (does it even meet code?). They can't retain people at any level, from primary caregivers to department managers. Pay levels and how staff is treated are both issues. The facility is nice, opening in 2016, but their management has taken a serious turn for the worse. The ownership of this facility is Morningstar Senior Management of Denver, CO. They provide no e-mail address, no complaint channel via e-mail, web or telephone, and no one on their executive team will either take a phone call or return a message. Sadly, we are going to look for another facility.

Svetlana and her staff's attentiveness and patience have been nothing short of amazing…read more They've gone above and beyond looking after my dad, due to his declining mental health. Always aware of his needs and pro-active in making the proper adjustments with his prescriptions. I've also seen tremendous improvement in my mom's health and wellbeing and she hasn't been this happy in a long time. It's nice to have this place in our neighborhood. The house is fairly new, modern and cozy. All needs are addressed and there's nothing they won't do to make it a comfortable experience. It was difficult in the beginning not knowing what to expect when considering living assistance. Looking back, I'm confident this was the best decision, moving my parents to this home.

My parents were both admitted in Hospice at the same time. They went from being totally independent…read moreto both depending on me. We needed around the clock team to take care of all their needs. We had Visiting Angels come to their home. They were great however the responsibility of all their medical appointments, meals, medication management, housekeeping, daily care maintenance, etc. were all on my shoulders. Lots of stress and lack of sleep due to taking care of both. Then I contacted Integrity Memory Care. Upon entering this group home, I immediately knew that this was the place for mom and dad. Svetlana's (owner) attention to all the details is impeccable. It has a homey feel and the beautiful home and surroundings is topped off with a high standard of care. All of the caregivers have been compassionate, loving and caring to both of my parents' needs. The home itself is new, clean and beautifully designed. There is a large patio and backyard with mini golf. All the meals are home cooked and they pay attention to dietary needs. There are certified caregivers on site 24/7. This home accommodates up to 6 residents so it provides tailored attention to each resident. No one is lost in the shuffle like that of a larger facility. I hope this review helps any one who is faced with a difficult decision of where your love one can reside. My original goal was to have them move in with me however after observing all the love and care they receive now through this group home, I would have done my parents and myself a disservice. I can now rest easy knowing that they will get around the clock professional and tailored attention. If you want a peace of mind with a well-rounded attention for your loved one, please consider Svetlana, her team and home. They are exceptional. Thank you!!!
