Activities leave a lot to be desired at Bella Vista. There is a sign up book for about 30 clubs…read more The residents have expressed interest in some of these clubs. However even tho we signed up in Feb many clubs have no meeting dates or time. What about the scooter safety information we signed requesting in Feb?? Nothing, no follow up, no information. Travel club Same. There are multiple others. Some activities on the calendar are a mystery. What is a knowledge nest education class?? At least offer a brief explanation of what a knowledge nest education class offers. Activities offered darts in the bistro. The darts had no points. Magnets on them were weak. They fell off the target. We are not children. Please don't offer us sports, games for a child. Someone needs to review activity interest as evidenced by sign up and participation. It looks like there is plenty to do but that is misleading.

Suncrest Healthcare gets 5 stars from myself and my family. I am a Nurse, and I have to say that…read moreSuncrest is an older building and sometimes that gives one the impression that it is not a good place to have you, or your loved one receive care. I Beg to differ. Things are not always what they seem. The place is inviting, the atmosphere is calm, and people seem like they really enjoy what they do. I was skeptical of what I was seeing. My sister required skilled nursing services several times in the last few years and her experiences with other facilities in the Valley were not pleasant. She was sent to facilities in West Phoenix, Scottsdale and South Phoenix that did not provide the attentive care that she received at Suncrest Healthcare Center. I know this because I received many calls from her with concerns about her care in other places. When she was at Suncrest Health Care Center she received Iv antibiotic therapy in addition to Physical therapy. The staff at Suncrest Healthcare Center were attentive and engaging. They are very knowledgeable and professional. They showed that they genuinely care about their Residents. The Residents and the staff really care about each other. They are like one big family. This is unusual in these days and time. Every day may be different but the care that my sister received was consistent. My sister, I, and my family were pleased with the care that she received at Suncrest. I want to give a shout out to all the Staff members at Suncrest Healthcare Center you made a difference for her, and I saw you make a difference for other Residents, you are appreciated! My Sister is back to her baseline. If she or any of my family members need your services hopefully you have availability! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Tenaj Dancer

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.

My mother is going into her 6th year at Friendship Village Tempe Health Center. While her dementia…read morehas been slowly taking effect on her, the care the CNAs and nurses have risen to the occasion. They are all extremely friendly, knowledgeable and kind. My mother is extremely well taken care of there. The facility is clean, pleasant, well-maintained and has a very nice garden downstairs, with plants and a waterfall. The food is above average, and dieticians work to ensure each resident is tended to as needed. My two complaints are cost and number of employees (esp. regarding equipment). My mother has to be lifted into/out of bed and her wheelchair. It seems that there are only one or two of these lifts per floor. When she needs to go the bathroom, she sometimes has to wait 10 minutes, which is uncomfortable and, truly, degrading. For what they charge per month - which is a lot - they should have another lift. Also, the CNAs are overworked. They need at least one more per wing. The other complaint is cost. If my mother weren't using her life savings, we couldn't afford it; however, as long as she has the money, we will keep her there. I looked at several places. While FVT was a bit more expensive than many, the reviews are very, very good, and I wouldn't risk moving her to a cheaper facility. How they treat the patients when family isn't there is crucial. FVT employees take exceptional care of her. Highly recommended, if you can afford almost $9000 per month for a private room (not much less for a shared one...).

3 months ago I opted to move my mother to Parkland Memory Care even though the assisted living…read morefacility she was at had an impressive memory care unit. Through experience I have come to believe that staff turnover is highly correlated to quality and consistency of care. As I searched I was looking for an intimate and clean setting with low staff turnover as an indicator that the staff were happy in their job and therefore capable of providing consistent high quality care. Many, if not most at Parkland have been there 5-6 years. It was no contest. Parkland is a great facility, built specifically for memory care patients. What truly impresses, though, is the caring, attentive nature of the staff...and I mean everyone from the executive director to the caregivers!! They actively engage the residents and are kind, attentive and respectful. I am so happy I made the choice to take her to Parkland. She recently passed but loved her time there, especially loved the staff and the residents. If you have choice, you need to look at Parkland first. Incredible!

I was admitted to Desert Cove Skilled Nursing Facility on Feb 2, at approximately 9pm, and remained…read moreinpatient until Feb 20th. When I arrived from Chandler Regional Hospital, the head nurse informed my husband and I that he didn't have any information regarding my meds which I was due for w/in an hour. I was on significant pain meds as well as time sensitive meds, yet I went 36hrs before all of my meds were administered, and only because I called the hospital and convinced one of the nurses there to help. I spent my first 36hrs at the facility in excruciating pain. In the first 2 wks I was in the facility, I was unable to attend physical therapy at least half of the time because the staff failed to administer my meds on time throwing me back into unmanageable pain. I had gone into this facility because I was not capable of caring for myself at home, & I believed my husband & kids would be able to work and not worry about me. Unfortunately, that was anything but true. My daughter had to leave work in Casa Grande 3 times to get nurses to listen to me, my husband had to leave work early nearly every day to sit with me & make sure my meds were given on time, and my son stayed late into the evening to make sure I was being taken care of. I was a patient due to a diagnosis that causes extreme pain when touched, I had to repeatedly remind nurses and even hung signs to alert them to my needs, yet several nurses still literally argued with me about my needs. (even when ordered by a dr). My stay didn't relieve any stress on myself or my family, it only caused more. You would think this alone would be enough, but this stay had even more... I wasn't given a menu to chose my meals until the 2nd week, didn't even know there where menu options until my husband asked. (after having to bring me my meals). The meals that I would eat were good, but usually cold. My 1st wk there I was diagnosed w/ shingles, so I was quarantined to my room, I had to bathe in the sink. Even w/ limited mobility. My 2nd wk I was offered a shower after 9pm, and wasn't able to shower until my 3rd week when I mentioned to my physical therapist that I hadn't showered since I arrived. During my entire stay, my sheets were NEVER changed despite multiple requests. You would think this would be enough, but then comes the Doctor. Dr Kane. If you are thinking you will see a Dr that listens to you, answers your questions, has an ounce of compassion, think again! He answers questions with "Oh we will take care of that", "You don't need to worry about that", spend MAYBE 5 min in the room with you, then send you a bill for 30 min visits at $250+ for each time he walks into your room! When it was time to be discharged, I required enough meds until I could see my own Dr. 5 days later. One of my meds was prescribed at 1.5 tablets every 4hrs. Dr. Kane called in a prescription for 15 tablets, enough for about a day and a half. This way, they could keep me an extra 4 days. When I first brought it up to Dr Kane, he said I would figure it out, when I said something in front of the case worker, suddenly he realized his error and laughed it off. Even after I got home, the horror of the Nursing Facility wasn't over. I suddenly had several sores show up on my abdomen. A visit to my PCP and I was diagnosed with cellulitis from insulin injection sites administered by nurses at Desert Cove. All in all, except for the CNA's, and maybe 3 of the nurses who cared for me in almost 4 weeks, my stay at this facility was like all of the horror stories you hear about nursing facilities. I know I spent the 1st 36 hours of my stay screaming and crying in pain, and many nights listening to others do the same. The only positive about this place is their PT/OT providers, they seemed to be the only ones to care about their patients. PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
