My parent has been a resident of the Manor Village for a few years now and has met many nice…read moreemployees and residents. 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.

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.

The meals, now delivered to apartments due to the pandemic, are excellent. The once-a-week maid service is thorough and excellent. All of the many people who staff Sagewood are well-trained, extremely pleasant and understanding and always provide immediate solutions to our requests for help. Top management is superb. The apartments are designed for older people like us and there is always immediate assistance which can be summoned if needed. We know many people here whom we have been friends with over our many years in Phoenix and we all agree that this is a wonderful place. We cannot think of a better place to spend our final years-in comfort and safety and with plenty of things to do and enjoy. We recommend Sagewood heartily

Then we almost lost him due to a medical emergency. That said, Edward and his fantastic team of aids at Serenity stepped up in a big way working with Hospice of the Valley. The staff is small and so is the facility but the rooms are beautiful with private bathrooms and no bedsores on anyone. They cook homemade meals in a large kitchen where they also interact with the residents. Rachel, Avia and Angel are wonderful with the residents, checking on them, engaging with them in a kind way and laughing. If you like a smaller facility with quality care (maximum 10 residents) then this is it. Our father is now off of end of life hospice and onto regular hospice and it speaks to the care and tlc they give. This facility doesn't have the bells and whistles of the bigger ones but it has cleanliness, caring and interaction. The beds are always made, the residents are always clean and it has a sense of family. The views out of the windows are beautiful and there's a lovely terrace with dining and a putting green when the weather is cooler. I've seen a lot of nursing homes, assisted living facilities and community care homes and this is one of the best.

When dealing with the elderly it's important to choose a place that you hope they will feel comfortable. Their facility at Mayo is not that as if you end up in Memory Care you will be forced to look at a parking lot. Is this what our family members worked so hard for all of their lives? Find another facility everyone.

Clearwater looks pretty but was a horrendous experience for my Mom and me. They pitch a good game…read more We moved my mom in early 2023. She moved in to a beautiful apartment with assisted living services. The food started out reasonable and went downhill by the third month. I don't know what happened. The care givers were marginal at best. But most importantly, they do tell you in the contract that if they deem your loved one needs to be moved to the LOCK DOWN memory care facility with tiny bedroom and bath only, they have the right to make that decision. You assume when you sign that that they only do that when the resident has dementia and exhibits dangerous behaviors like wandering out doors, or not being able to verbalize their needs anymore or is aggressive. None of those descriptions fits my mom. What they don't tell you is that after paying a $15,000 move in fee for a beautiful apartment, they will move your loved one, who does not have dementia, to the lock down memory care unit for falling and going to the hospital. So be very careful in considering this place. No place I talked to, which was close to 15, said it is appropriate to lock someone in a memory care unit when they don't have dementia. I would recommend Manor Village. It was one of the places we considered after leaving Clearwater after only being there three months. They are family owned, have a passionate chef who meets every week with the residents and way lower move in fees. Take a careful look at the ownership of Clearwater. Our invoices were from Berkshire not Clearwater. I learned a lot in this experience. Be very careful. Private equity is getting in to senior care and it's becoming all about profits. Know the ownership.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!…read more Soft Touch Assisted Living provides excellent service, knowledgeable people, responsive service and great care. I definitely would recommend them to anyone needing care for a loved one. It's very difficult to watch your loved ones get older, it took us some time to find the right assisted living for my grandmother and when we interviewed with Soft Touch we were beyond IMPRESSED! The ambiance, culture and cleanliness is impeccable. I mostly appreciate the kindheartedness of the caregivers, they always go above and beyond to make sure my grandmother is well taken care of. The location is great, close enough for me to be able to drop in and see my grandmother on the weekends and its in such a peaceful community.

A couple were larger communities but most were adult care homes. I chose River of Love based on the fact that the home was clean and"homey" - not so perfect you feel like you are in a showroom, but spacious and nice. Ema and Cris are a husband and wife team who are competent, caring and just have good energy. My mom is on a ketogenic diet and they were happy to accommodate this. The food here is wonderful, not the bland, generic food you might get in a larger setting. There is a wonderful social atmosphere. The home is in a beautiful neighborhood and is close to highway 51. It's easy to get to. My mom is happy here and that gives me peace of mind - especially since I live out of state.

I could do nothing for myself, not even stand on my own or walk. The next morning I knew that I was in great loving hands. Paulette and Rayon have been amazing caregivers. Taking care of my surgical wounds with such care. I had physical therapy twice a week and on the off days Rayon and Paulette encouraged me to get up and walk with both of them walking with me and one following me with the wheel chair. Paulette took care of my daily needs. Making sure I was showered or bed bathed every day and doing my laundry daily. We all have call buttons and they are on call 24/7. Rayon is the chef and when I tell you the food is good, it is delicious! Delivered to my room at the same time daily if I did not opt to join other residents at the dining room table. This beautiful home in a beautiful and safe neighborhood in Scottsdale can accommodate 10 residents. We all have different needs but all are cared for as lovingly and carefully as I am. The rooms are spacious with lovely bedding, flat screen tvs and wifi. Family and friends are always welcome. Pinki, the director/owner is equally as loving and caring. My son researched different Assisted Living places while I was in the hospital and after touring Kierland Sanctuary and speaking with Pinki, he found it to be the best match for me. The price is comparable to other places in Scottsdale. Pinki, Paulette and Rayon have become my family and I love them and will miss them terribly.
