Compared to other places I visited, which were perhaps newer and more " modern, " the minute I walked into the Beatitudes, I felt its soul and incredible vibrancy. Mark Hendel, a professional in the realm of senior living, escorted me on tours of various places. This was the only site that struct me in this way! It was palpable! The hallmark chosen for this NFP community sums up their mission and vision perfectly: LIVE BRIGHTLY. AGE BOLDLY. I am grateful every day in every way to now be living here. MG

This facility is secure and has 10 private rooms which was important as he gets close individual care and attention. With the open floor plan, you can smell the yummy meals being cooked in the kitchen and the living room is bright and open. There is a beautiful backyard and seating area which we've been enjoying this spring. The staff is warm and friendly and able to reach with ease. They've been very accommodating and helpful with our special requests. They manage meds and have a nurse who comes into the home and helps with checkups. The schedule is enriching with daily activities, set mealtimes, and he has made friends with the other residents. I would recommend this business to those whose loved ones need memory care and seeking a smaller home-like environment.

However, our fears were quickly dispelled after seeing how well he did. The care staff really did care and our dad continually commented about how good the food was and how nice the people were. I highly recommend this home, especially for any family member who has memory issues as it provides a safe structured environment that caters to those with memory problems.

She lives in the memory care unit; you have to have a password to use the elevator to get to her floor. I forgot to mention, they have a tablet that you use to check in- you enter your phone number and then it asks if you're seeing your person. It takes your picture, then it prints out a label. You have to use it to check out too, security is important. I went to their Thanksgiving buffet, everyone went to the first floor and got their food. The whole dinning room was open, so family could come visit their loved ones.

I cannot recommend Bella Vita highly enough.

Never chose this facility for your loved ones!…read more My experience with this assisted living business was very concerning. Communication was consistently poor, and it was often difficult to get clear or timely responses about resident care. More importantly, I observed situations where some residents did not appear to be treated with the level of attention, respect, and compassion that this type of service requires. That raised serious concerns for me about the quality of care being provided. Reliability, transparency, and genuine care for residents should be the top priority in any assisted living environment, and I did not feel those standards were consistently met here. I strongly encourage families to ask detailed questions, visit frequently, and closely monitor the level of care if considering this facility.

Olivia at the front desk was always friendly and willing to help. Joe, the main chef accommodated my dad's unique requests. Amy the pharmacist was very kind. The housekeeping staff was very thorough. The aides were very attentive. My dad had ambulation issues and every time he would push 'the button' they would come running to assist. Maintenance was great when he was having issues with the A/C. I have nothing negative to say about the facility. The dad passed a couple weeks ago and they have been in constant contact with me if they was anything they could do to help. We just received a sympathy card from The Ridge signed by the staff and some of the residents. I would recommend this facility to anyone.

We placed my mother in the memory care unit in February of 2021. The woman who recruited us was…read moreamazing and friendly and a true joy to work with. However, she was the only one. The manager Kim was absolutely terrible as was the general manager Chris. My mother was also diabetic and as soon as she was here the Dr decided to take her off of her insulin and try only Metformin. The problem is that this caused her blood sugars to soar and in turn caused her to have some behavioral problems. We didn't know any of this until they decided that they were kicking her out to a behavioral home and it was happening that night. Kim also seemed surprised that we had been down every weekend to visit. We had not ever been informed of her behavior problems until they were sending her away. Then my mother was at the behavioral home for 4 weeks due to the fact that at 2 weeks we were informed the night before they were due to release her that they wanted us to get guardianship over her, a $3500 process, when in the state of Arizona we did not in fact have to have that because of the surrogacy law. They were unwilling to take it. In the end we had to move her. However, when we went to get her things , that we had written her name on (every piece) we got a large amount of other peoples things and were missing a lot of her stuff. Her mothers ring had been stolen(we forgot to take it from her as she always wore it). Her custom made grandma blanket was missing. The worst part of the whole experience was how cold and un-empathetic Kim and Chris were. It was heartbreaking to see my mother deteriorate even faster due to the poor management. We placed my mom in mid February, when physically she was still very healthy and mobile and she passed in June a true shell of who she was in Feb.

I placed my mom in the memory care unit at the Ridge at the Stratford on August 1, 2023. My…read moremother had dementia, but she was still able to bath herself, go to the bathroom by herself and wash her hands. I explained to the staff that I was putting her in this facility because she needed stimulation from activities but she had to be coaxed into knowing where the activities were. The staff did not lead her into participating in the physical activities that were listed on the calendar, such as fitness fun and toss and talk. The only activities I observed the residents doing was playing bingo and watching TV. My mother's dementia caused her not to be able to read, write or comprehend tv shows. She lost her ability to recognize letters or numbers. I advised the staff of this. The memory care unit did not pay attention to their residents. My mother's watch was stolen and found in another resident's room. The staff lied to me and told me she was participating in activities twice a day, but when I went to visit, they would ask how I got her to leave her room. I would go during different times of the day and they never followed the activities they had listed on the calendar. They were always playing bingo or watching a movie. The memory care unit did not provide adequate water to the residents and when I went to visit, I could never find water for my mom to drink. I tried calling on the days I could not go and see her but was always met with having to leave a message with no return phone call. I was told by Valerie the Director that I needed to email the director of the memory care unit. When I did, I would never receive an email back telling me how my mom was doing. Within 14 days of my mother being in this facility, she became severely dehydrated, she had complete renal failure and a skin tear on her right arm that no one knew how she got. This was because they did not check on her like they said they would. She went all day one day without eating and I never got a phone call advising me of it. The skin tear caused her to become sepsis. On August 15th she was placed in Hospice of the Valley and died on August 20th. I would not recommend this facility to anyone. The pictures on the website are only of the assisted living part of the facility. The dining room in the pictures is in the Assisted Living part and all the programs they say they do on the website are a misprint because they only play bingo and watch movies. The memory care unit is dirty, and makes you feel like you are in an insane asylum. I was advised by Valerie, the Director of the facility, that I needed to provide my mother with two sets of towels, sheets, blankets, and bedding. When I picked up her items and cleared out her apartment after her death, there was still blood on the floor from her skin tear. The clothes and bedding I provided were missing and I only received one set of sheets, blankets, and pillow cases. Some of the clothes I brought home had someone else's name on them and when I picked up my mom's medication, I received meds with other residents' names. The caregivers do not know how to handle the memory care residents or do not really care about them. If you love your loved one who has dementia or Alzheimer's do not put them in this facility. They do nothing that is mentioned on the website or the activities calendar. This care home was sited with 20 citations after my mom died but were only fined $500.00 for not providing adequate water to the memory care unit. The total amount the State of Arizona fined them was $2500.00. I was not able to get justice for my mom because of her age. It is all a money bucket. My mom died because the staff at this facility neglected her, so if you love your relative with Dementia or Alzheimer's do not put them in this facility. Don't believe the website either all pictures and activities are for the assisted living section.
