Willing to listen patiently to residents that are frustrated and struggling to get their thoughts out, they help to resolve concerns quickly (especially with technology). The food is good and plentiful, the cleaning staff keep both apartments and common areas looking good. They have both rehab and medical personnel that are either on property or visit regularly to handle those issues that come up and are concerning. Best of all the entertainment and things "to do" give it a cruise ship feel on a daily basis. I thank them for their service to residents who have entered their final chapter and have less worries day-to-day!

The high…read morequality of care, exceptional food, and spotless residence was everything I had initially hoped for. Throughout the years I was never disappointed.

They changed my life by the high quality of care they provided for my mom.

The tender loving care began the moment we met Ludmila and her caregivers. The facility is a darling bright and cheery home that is kept meticulously clean. Moms room was private and was great for all her many visitors. We knew it was not going to be too long as mom was failing quickly and the team kept us abreast of any and all changes ... good or bad. The days are filled with activities and all the residents seemed happy. Special food requests were given and they have a tiny dog that would visit the residents a couple times a week. That was a highlight for sure. AZ Life is an Arizona Long Term Care certified facility. We literally visited dozens and nothing compared to Ludmilla's beautiful home. When mom passed there were genuine tears from all the staff. Very kind, gentle people that truly love their residents. XXO The Peck Family

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Avista Sun City West Memory Care. The way my…read morefamily and I were treated was very unprofessional and upsetting, especially during such an emotional and difficult time. Before moving my dad in, we were told certain things that gave us confidence in choosing this facility, but after he was there, many of those promises were not followed through with. Changes were made without proper communication or notice, and it felt like our concerns as a family were not being respected or heard. One of the biggest concerns was the pressure we felt to switch my dad to a hospice company that the facility preferred, even though we already had a hospice provider we trusted and wanted to continue with. During that process, we feel they took advantage of our family's emotional state and the difficult situation we were facing to push for a decision that aligned with what they wanted rather than what our family believed was best for my dad. Another concern was our interactions with Melissa and Jackie. We found their behavior to be hostile, aggressive, and lacking the compassion and professionalism that families deserve during such a difficult time. Rather than feeling supported, we often felt intimidated and dismissed when trying to advocate for my dad's care and express our concerns. We were also uncomfortable with the approach of keeping my dad heavily medicated. We expected compassion, honesty, communication, and respect for our family's wishes, but unfortunately that was not our experience. Families place tremendous trust in memory care facilities when caring for their loved ones. We expected the care, transparency, and respect that was promised when we chose this facility. Instead, our experience left us feeling frustrated, unheard, and disappointed. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works to improve communication, professionalism, and respect for residents and their families.

I hope this review serves the same for anyone faced with the very difficult decision of where your loved one should reside. My grandmother moved into the home in approximately January of 2007.

Of course, all of the basic care was provided. Meals, personal care, medication monitoring and health care coordination. But it was the all the little things that added up as well. The birthday celebrations, holiday parties and the personal touch of dedicated consistent care givers that made such a difference for us. This group home provided our family great peace of mind. My Grammy was very happy there; she was safe and loved. I just cannot give a more glowing recommendation of Gabriela and her team. Thank you!!! Lynn Bryan

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.

The Memory Care unit is operating under different circumstances. All the staff is not trained for mental health behaviors as they claim to be. My mother has a mental illness and she has the onset of dementia with Alzheimer's approaching. She cannot care for herself physically and is mentally challenged due to several mental health diagnoses. Because she was deemed difficult to get along with they have given her a termination notice. This appears to be a pattern as another reviewer complained of this same thing. My mom's fears from her PTSD were not addressed properly and I asked that they accommodate her needs. She was frightened of some caregivers and at times used inappropriate language to express her needs. She has tried to call me several times but they take the phone out of her hand and hang up and tell her she can't use the phone. They moved the handset of the phone off the receiver so it could not be reached to make a call. (See picture) I was told before I signed on the dotted line that my mother would be able to communicate to me using their phone and vice versa because my mother did not have a cell phone. Now they are telling me no, she should have her own phone while in Memory Care. When I called in to speak to my mom last month when I was out of town attending a funeral service, the operator would not put the call through. I pleaded with the Exec. Director Nora and Nursing Director Jessie. They would not put the call through. They would not even use their personal phone, or walk down to my mom's room for me to make sure my mom was okay. Then I asked if one of the caregivers could help. They did ask one of the caregivers to use their personal phone so I could talk to my mom. But subsequently no other calls went through for any family members who have tried to contact her. Ayesha and Michele, the med techs/caregivers for Memory Care get 5 stars for handling my mother's panic attacks and confusions. They are trained on behaviors and always remain pleasant and in control of any situation they are put in. Unfortunately, not all their staff is able to deal with mental health behaviors. In my opinion, all the staff should be trained properly regardless of what shift they are on, so all the residents can get equal treatment or their license should be taken away for Memory Care. I was told they could handle my mother's behaviors when she was evaluated and she was accepted as such. I was told she could communicate with me when she needed. Now, I am looking for another place for my mom. Think twice or you may be in the same situation and it isn't pleasant.

I disagree with Sherry's review in terms of treatment and maintenance. Her review was from 4 years ago and upgrades have been made and I can attest to management and the care that is given here big first rate. My opinion is Sherry had exaggerated expectations. A number of improvements must have been made in the last 4 years as I find it comfortable safe and secure to be here. No it is not a five-star resort but for an assisted living facility which I've been to a few this one is nice. There is the definite difficulty with so many of us in our senior years that need to feel comfortable and well cared for and a paramount necessity for feeling safe.
