To the Caregivers at A Place of Joy Assisted Living,…read more I want to take this opportunity to say what a wonderful experience my Aunt Darlene has had during the almost three years she has been with A Place of Joy Assisted Living. She is well fed, the facility is always clean, the meals are wonderful, and she is as happy as one can be under her circumstances. Her husband, my uncle, visits regularly, and always knows he will find his wife up and dressed, having a meal, or just finishing one, with clean linens on the bed, a comfortable chair where she feels safe, and people around who care for her and make her feel safe. I am grateful for the peace of mind my uncle has knowing the staff care greatly about and for my aunt which allows him some sense of comfort since they cannot be together in their home. Thank you all for not only caring for my aunt, but for the tenderness with which you care for my uncle as well. He is a wonderful man, and a wonderful husband to my aunt for over 65 years. That is a saint in my book! With gratitude and thanks, Their niece, Linda

A place of joy a truly exceptional group home I don't usually write reviews but a place of joy has…read morecompletely changed my perspective on senior care not all group homes are the same and if I could give this place 100 stars I would. For three years I cared for my mother as she battled dementia, it was one of the hardest experiences of my life, I struggled to understand her mood swings her refusal to eat, shower, or take medication. I eventually had to accept that I didn't have the skills or knowledge to provide the care she needed, after moving her four times since 2022 I was feeling hopeless until one day in March 2023 I overheard a woman at the grocery store raving about a place of joy she described it as heaven on Earth a place where her father was cared for with love and dedication her words stuck with me and I decided to visit from the moment I walked in I felt something different the owner Chela is incredibly attentive to detail and it's clear that she runs this home with both expertise and a huge heart every time I visit often unannounced I see caregivers who are genuinely happy always smiling and treating the residents with kindness and patience. Most importantly I always see the residents happy. the name says it all this truly is a place of joy, if you're looking for a group home where your loved one will be treated with dignity compassion and expert care this is it. I am beyond grateful to have found this place and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking the best care for their elderly family members

Completely horrible experience from the first day to the day we pulled my mother out of memory…read morecare, which was only 3 days later. Staff was virtually absent. Getting in and out of the unit took sometimes as long as 10 minutes or more. On a Saturday we observed the only staff member available to open the door was the same only staff member serving lunch to the zombies they have for patients. Upon entering the lunchroom there were children's cartoons playing on TV, green looking hot dogs with some type of sauce that looked like it came out of a bathroom, and my mother could barely speak to us, as her voice was hoarse, her hair was filthy and matted to the back of her head, mismatched dirty clothes, and when I tracked down the same nurse I had met 3 days earlier who was handling the same vials that were later given to me as "haloperidol", she did not know who I was, rudely stated her name, and shrugged me off when I said I was taking my mother out of the lunch room immediately. My father who would visit my mother from independent living (we also removed him and all his belongings 3 days later when we learned the entire apartment was infested with various types of roaches when we visited after movers brought his items in 3 days earlier) would try and help her eat and take her back to her room and would be told he could not take her out for sometimes as much as two hours while the other zombie residents (by all appearances every resident had been given some type of sedative, my mothers was Halperidol, I learned later when I pulled her meds upon taking her out of the facility. NEVER SANCTIONED IN FACT TOLD HER HOSPICE NURSE NOT TO GIVE THIS TO HER EVER AGAIN PRIOR TO ENTRY INTO FACILITY as side effects are " potent antipsychotic medication with common side effects including sedation, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision. It carries a high risk of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS)--such as tremors, muscle stiffness, and involuntary movements--as well as potential for serious conditions like tardive dyskinesia, QT prolongation, and neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS)." When I told the staff I was taking her out for at least the weekend (only way to get her out of there quickly was to state she was coming to visit with me at my home) I was given an entire bag of 30 or more doses of this Halperidol drug she was NOT PRESCRIBED prior to admission by the 'nurse on duty' to bring home with me. WHAT? My father observed patients with involuntary movements throughout the 3 days she was there and again, my mother could barely speak or raise her voice above a whisper and reported "voices in her head" and clicking, roaring, and thumping in her ear. AFTER 3 DAYS. DO NOT BRING YOUR LOVED ONE TO THIS FACILITY OR ANYWHERE NEAR ANY PART OF THE PROPERTY FOR ANY REASON.

I would not recommend this place for your loved one needed assisted living. I'll start at the…read morebeginning. In 2022 I stopped in to Broadway Mesa Village, completely overwhelmed knowing my mom could no longer live independently especially since her entire family lives out of state. The director and sales manager at that time had been there many years and were welcoming and helpful. I was thrilled to move my mom! She needed a low level of assistance which included stand-by during twice a week bathing and some re-direction but that was all. About a month after she moved in, it was announced the director, sales manager and long-time chef were leaving. Over the next almost 2-years, there was a revolving door of directors, interim directors, or corporate staff filling in and nursing staff changes, before the current director. I visited every 3 months and always had a sit-down with them to share my thoughts and concerns, except I could not get a meeting with the current one even after I decided to move her out of the facility. I felt that would have been the most important meeting. So, back to her level of care. No meds, no special needs, just stand-by for bathing and housekeeping. Never once when I visited or any family visiting did anyone come for her shower time. When I asked, I was told my mom would send them away. OK. I get that. But she was never clean when I visited and she had several (at least 4 in 2 years) UTIs that sent her to the ER. Each time her mental state declined. Earlier this year it was decided her care level would need be increased from Level 2 to Level 4. This should include showering assistance (not stand-by) and distribution of her 2 prescriptions at $1900 added to what were were already paying. Now, I still NEVER saw anyone come to help with bathing or dressing. Her hygiene was unacceptable. I always made it clear that I lived far away and mom may need help with simple tasks like keeping her phone charged but often her phone would be dead and I'd have to call the front desk to make sure they'd seen her that day and ask if someone could charge her phone. Now to housekeeping...her apartment was also dirty! Every time I visited, after getting mom clean, I'd clean her room. Dishes were always piled high in her sink. It smelled. The floor was dirty needing both sweeping and mopping. Her refrigerator was full of rotting leftovers she'd bring back from the dining room. Once, when her mental state was not good (and shortly after was diagnosed with another UTI), I found over 20 cups and glasses from the dining room in her apartment (in her cupboards, sink, drain, side table, and bathroom). When I returned them to the kitchen, they were shocked. I was too. Why wouldn't housekeeping take them back? Oh, and the roaches. First a dead one. Hmmm. Concerning. Then next visit a couple of live ones. Maintenance came out to spray immediately once I reported it. Upon move out, under the mat in her shower, a bunch of little baby roaches scurried out of the light and I scurried out of the room! Lastly, when I decided it was time to move her closer to me and gave the 30-day notice at Broadway Mesa Village, it was very hard to get any answers as to how to get her medicine before we left. I also needed assistance getting my mom on a call with a nurse in the state where she was moving for an assessment. Seems like it would be a pretty standard request from one assisted living facility to another, but I was told by the director (through the new person working in the business office, yeah she didn't take the call) that no one could take the time to help my mom access a video phone call for 10 minutes. She lived in an assisted living facility with very little, almost no assistance. Luckily for me, there were 2 people that had worked there the entire length of my mom's residency there that definitely made both of our lives better! One helped my mom with that needed video assessment on her own time and the other mailed my mom's meds that weren't available to me on her move out date! Angels! There are definitely amazing people there and I give them a lot of credit dealing with my mom and helping me from afar and I'm forever grateful to them. But the ownership and management and how this facility is run day-to-day is very concerning. If you plan to move a loved one here, you need to be a strong advocate for them, monitor their care, and visit often! Thank you for your time if you've gotten to the end of this long review.

The quality of care is good but the communication is non existent…read more You lierally CANNOT contact the Mesa location by telephone. They simply do not answer, abd direct calls to the Director Nate also go unanswered with messgaes ignored. You MUST PHYSICALLY visit the facility IN PERSON to get ANY ACTION regarding your loved one. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

Once he moved there he called me on the phone the first hour and begged me not to have him move there. Its for Memory care patients only. Don't be fooled. If your parent is still functioning, this place will kill them. they will lose all freedoms and will become prisoners. Even at my requests, they would not open the gates so he could resume his normal life. You wont be able to communicate with then one on one again....ever. They insist on emailing back and forth cause they are "So busy" with the12 people that live there. disgusting. My dad had a dual stroke and died from all the stress of them taking away his entire life and it took a week and a half and he was gone. Don't do this to your parents....even if you dont like them. It should be shut down!
