My husband and I have considered and looked at CCRC's for a few years. It was a huge and difficult decision to give up our home and move into a smaller space. We chose Vi at Grayhawk because of the outstanding ranking of their health care unit and the warmth of the residents in the community. We attended several "meet the residents" marketing events. Our transition has been flawless. We sold our home very quickly, before the total renovation of our apartment was completed so the sales team at Vi provided housing for us for 5 weeks and absorbed the cost of storage of our furniture. They provided a recommendation for an excellent mover, and put us in touch with a relocation specialist who drew a floor plan to advise which pieces of furniture would fit in our new space. This experience has been much better than we could have expected. The staff is overwhelmingly kind and responsive, the food is delicious (two dining spaces, one formal and one casual) and we are so comfortable in our beautiful apartment. We're thrilled to be at Vi at Grayhawk. read more

See all

I love it here!! Everyone is so nice and respectful to each other and everyone gets along well. read more

Vi at Grayhawk - Philly cheese steak - Retirement Homes Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

My husband and I waited 1 1/2 years to find a Casita in Vi at Greyhawk CCRC, and are very happy with our decision. Nothing is like the huge home of your longer years, but the amazing friends, fun activities, delicious food and no stress living is the peace of mind we were seeking. read more

Spent the last 4 days moving my Mom in. After 3 days of packing, moving, and unpacking, we decided to have dinner. Made reservations. Stopped to have cocktail before dinner at the lounge. Where the busy body bartender (Gaye?) overheard our conversation with a resident (Bob). He asked about my sport coat, it's 109 outside, why would I wear a jacket? Then my wife had Capri dress pants on, and those were challenged. Now I know it's upper class here, but come on, we are all supposed to be adults. If you can afford to be here, does someone need to dress you? Fashion Police need a new chief, because I am the new Cowboy and I will protect my Mom. Would like to add. Once we got seated, the meal was fantastic, Eileen was our server, top notch. I would give her 5 stars. I will update this after 30 days, because I know I am tired and will try it again read more

My parents lived at Vi for over 5 years. In late January 2023 my father transferred into the memory care facility as his dementia had progressed to the point that he could no longer live independently. Within the first two weeks he was able to escape despite alarms on the doors and even a bracelet on his wrist that warned he was near an exit. They told me my dad was aggressive and had him sent to a geriatric psychiatric hospital where he spent a week being medicated. Vi informed me they would not allow him back unless we hired 24hr care for him at our own cost. After a month of providing 24hr private care Vi delivered a termination letter to my parents informing them they had 7 days to find a new placement for my dad. For anyone who has gone through this finding placement is very difficult and incredibly expensive. The cherry on top is that they kept all their money refusing to refund any of their investment. Be very careful. If you grow old exactly as planned then Vi may work for you. However if you actually need 'memory care' be forewarned that Vi will only care for you if you are flopped over in a wheel chair hopped up on lots of meds or a happy go lucky dementia patient that follows directions and poses no difficulties. Should you fall some place else in the realm of needs you will be asked to leave and they will keep your money. They should be ashamed of themselves for the way they treated my family. read more

We have lived at Vi @ GrayHawk for six years. It is a CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community. We are in Independent Living but as most here, we decided to move to a CCRC knowing we will someday need nursing care. Attached to Independent Living is the Care Center which has 3 venues ...Skilled Nursing ( provides long term skilled care and/or temporary care as needed). Assisted Living allows residents to live independently yet taken care of in minimal ways such as dispensing of medications. Memory Care is self explanatory. All 3 venues take residents as well as private pay. Our monthly dues include these areas when needed yet, there are extra charges for incidentals. The Lodge (apartments) and casitas have access to weekly housekeeping, pools, spa, great food and all the activities you could want. There is an 18 hole championship putting course. In addition there is a resident driven couples golf, a Men's golf as well as Ladies. These groups typically play at Starfire Golf Course. We have a resident driven monthly newsletter as well as a community website and a Neighbor to Neighbor email communication. If a person wants to enjoy the amenities here they should come in while they are active. Of course, if a person is ill and does not pass the medical, they have waited too long for this transition. We have friends of all ages...60's through 100 years. The socialization in this community is key and most of us feel like family. It is expensive to get in here...entrance fees are tremendous. Our monthly dues have increased from about $4500 (for 2) to almost $7,000. There is definitely an emotional adjustment. For most, the Community makes up for any losses you might feel. Management takes care of us and most of them are almost overly attentive to our needs and requests. During this pandemic residents are delivered meals three times a day with a wine menu and virtual activities are ongoing. A staff member is required to be kind and respectful, but there is always one. Negative prevails and this particular staff person affects all of us and the overall morale of our community. We will stay on top of this here and even suggest some sympathy training, otherwise this would be 5* rating read more

Ranking Arizona: The Best of Arizona Business 2018, states: "Vi at Grayhawk...named Ranking Arizona's top senior living community for 17 consecutive years." Most of the senior living communities in the area have been rated in this list of top 10 over the years, but only one has consistently (17 CONSECUTIVE YEARS!) topped the list, even during the 2008 downturn. All CCRCs in the area have fancy lobbies, welcoming staff, hospitality committees, friendly residents, fine dining, and many amenities and activities to enjoy. The Consumer Report (October 2017 issue) asks "Who Will Care for You?" in its comprehensive article on elder care..."how to look beyond the fancy lobbies and marketing hype to find a residence that will keep you or a loved one safe and happy, at a price you can afford." The key evaluation criteria (per CR) are health care and price. Most CCRCs in the area have highly rated and well regulated Skilled Nursing departments (per Medicare and state agencies). How then are you to compare and rate the least regulated areas of Independent Living and Assisted Living? Ranking Arizona: The Best of Arizona Business...ranks "Independent/Assisted Living" departments of the senior living communities in the area. We lived in another senior living community for nearly 4 years. And now a resident of Vi at Grayhawk...a night-and-day comparison, and thus far the services at the Vi at Grayhawk meet or exceed our expectations. read more

My mother-in-law has been there for 5 days, and she has already been reprimanded, corrected, and treated like a child, not to mention embarrassed in front of her family for borderline dress attire for dinner, as her daughter-in-law from out of town only had dress capis, not full length dress pants. She's in tears, I'm furious . By the way, it all started by the busy body bartender (Gail) on Tuesday night. She's a real trouble maker, but our food was great and server, was maybe the best I've seen, thanks Eileene. read more

After talking on the phone to these folks almost a year ago and foolishly giving them my email address, I have lived to regret it. They refuse to stop emailing me. I complain, they promise they will take me off their list, and then I get another email. I complain, and they promise they will take me off their list, and then I get another email. And another email. And another email. And another email. Apparently this is how much respect they have for potential customers. Move into this place? Never! They are not trustworthy. read more

I am 85, widowed and my 3 sons insisted that I move closer to them...what a great idea, I am just overwhelmed with the friendly support of not only the staff, but all the residents who have made me feel welcome and a part of their community. The facilities are exceptional, have not found anything lacking from exercise, to food, to interesting classes, transportation, hair and nail salon, art studio etc.etc.etc. All in all, after looking at 12 local facilities, I am completely convinced that I selected the perfect community for me. read more

Having recently moved into Vi at Grayhawk, we are very impressed with the entire organization!!! The staff is friendly, helpful, courteous, and very accommodating. The residents are extremely friendly and social..... there's always a dinner invitation from someone. The food is first class, healthy and very tasty. In our short time at Vi, we have not had a bad meal. We LOVE this place and would highly recommend it to anyone searching for the perfect CCRC!!!! read more

At first glance this facility is outstanding! You are welcomed and they are eager to meet with you and get you started on the process of completing all financial information, which is excessive. As I went through this process with my mother who was eager and anxious to make this community her home, I was so happy that she had found a place that she thought was worth giving up her large home for. Oh, but there was a catch......my incredibly healthy and very independent mom has MS. She was diagnosed with MS in 2002 and has not had one relapse since her diagnosis, 15 years ago, nor have her MRI's changed at all in 15 years! As a matter of fact, Barrows Neurological Institute has told her there is no need for her to be on any medication and she does not have to come back and see them unless something changes. She lives alone, drives and is active in her community, she just doesn't want the burden of taking care of a large home any more. She also doesn't want her kids to have to worry about her. She completed all of her paperwork, was approved financially, she met with two people on their medical staff only to receive a call a couple of day later informing her that she was not accepted to be a resident due to her MS! Why would they let her go through this process if having MS was a disqualifier? She has asked to meet with the Director of the facility and I have left a message for the Director for a better explanation. One week later, neither one of us have gotten the courtesy of a return phone call or a more in depth explanation other than MS is a debilitating disease. This is completely unacceptable for what is supposed to be a top rated facility. I also believe it falls into discrimination. I would not recommend anyone that has a senior relative with any kind of health issue, which most of them do, to even consider this facility. It is appalling in regards to how they have treated my mother. read more

My mother moved into Vi at Grayhawk and she has been kept quite busy. Her apartment is beautiful- and was modeled to her specifications. She has been in the care center a few times and has received excellent care from the workers. They really pamper the residents there. I no longer need to worry about her health or safety. The place is always clean, well maintained, and the workers are kind, caring and gracious. I highly recommend this location if you have parent(s) that should no longer live alone. I can almost guarantee they will be kept quite busy with all the things that they have going on for the residents. read more
