    Svetlana and her staff's attentiveness and patience have been nothing short of amazing…read more They've gone above and beyond looking after my dad, due to his declining mental health. Always aware of his needs and pro-active in making the proper adjustments with his prescriptions. I've also seen tremendous improvement in my mom's health and wellbeing and she hasn't been this happy in a long time. It's nice to have this place in our neighborhood. The house is fairly new, modern and cozy. All needs are addressed and there's nothing they won't do to make it a comfortable experience. It was difficult in the beginning not knowing what to expect when considering living assistance. Looking back, I'm confident this was the best decision, moving my parents to this home.

    My parents were both admitted in Hospice at the same time. They went from being totally independent…read moreto both depending on me. We needed around the clock team to take care of all their needs. We had Visiting Angels come to their home. They were great however the responsibility of all their medical appointments, meals, medication management, housekeeping, daily care maintenance, etc. were all on my shoulders. Lots of stress and lack of sleep due to taking care of both. Then I contacted Integrity Memory Care. Upon entering this group home, I immediately knew that this was the place for mom and dad. Svetlana's (owner) attention to all the details is impeccable. It has a homey feel and the beautiful home and surroundings is topped off with a high standard of care. All of the caregivers have been compassionate, loving and caring to both of my parents' needs. The home itself is new, clean and beautifully designed. There is a large patio and backyard with mini golf. All the meals are home cooked and they pay attention to dietary needs. There are certified caregivers on site 24/7. This home accommodates up to 6 residents so it provides tailored attention to each resident. No one is lost in the shuffle like that of a larger facility. I hope this review helps any one who is faced with a difficult decision of where your love one can reside. My original goal was to have them move in with me however after observing all the love and care they receive now through this group home, I would have done my parents and myself a disservice. I can now rest easy knowing that they will get around the clock professional and tailored attention. If you want a peace of mind with a well-rounded attention for your loved one, please consider Svetlana, her team and home. They are exceptional. Thank you!!!

Every day owners Efie and Igor (and their staff) made it clear that each patient was cared for to the fullest. Should you choose AZ Life, you will not be disappointed. They changed my life by the high quality of care they provided for my mom.

    We placed our mom with the caring team at AZ Life Assisted Living last fall. ('24) Mom was almost…read more90 and had fallen and broken bones in her back. 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

The front desk staff is really pleasant and so ready to assist when you walk through those doors whenever I have come to visit. I love the type of care the Seniors receive. They also have an amazing Bible study on Tuesdays which is good for their souls. I can't say enough good things about them. They always greet me with a big smile and conversation that it's obvious they truly care about people. There are so many good people from Housekeeping, Restaurant and Maintenance employees that I would love to recognize each and everyone of them for taking such good care of all The seniors that live here. I know I didn't mention everyone by name but want all of you to know how much I appreciate you and all that you do for the families every day. Thank you very much, from the bottom of my heart.

    I cannot say enough about Morningstar at Arrowhead. Frank had been at this facility for 2 1/2 years…read moreand had been at two other facilities prior. The staff was caring and great to him, as well as me and the other residents. I would spend time at the facility with Frank and got to know the staff and residents, all great, caring individuals.

    Beware of any care facility that has a sales representative. The rep. is not required to be…read morelicensed. They have no fiduciary duty bound by law. Promises are made to perspective residents that often are not realized. The sales representative works on commission. That's why the move in fee is extremely high. Morningstar employee turnover rate is extremely high. They have also been through several directors in the short time they have been open. Do your homework before moving your loved one. Check with Arizona Department of Health for complaints. Our family finally gave up on false promises from management and corporate. We as a family knew the care for our loved one was extremely poor, but we never truly understood how bad it was, until we moved to a different facility. Morningstar and many care facilities are all faced with the same situational problem. Caretakers require very little training, they dont even need a high school education. Research requirements to be a caretaker.....it's scary. They are under trained, under paid and are expected to fulfill great responsibilities for residences that require special, high skilled care. For those of you who have experienced the same frustration we have, don"t give up. There are a few well run facilities out there. We recently lost our Mother after a long battle with COPD. She lived her last year of her life at Rock Creek Memory Care in Surprise AZ. They don't have a salesperson. The director works personally with perspective new residents. The director is responsible for any and all representation. The employees are all well trained. The staff are all long term employees. They work with passion for the residents because they love their job. They have zero complaints with AZ. Dept. Of Health. They are family owned and operated. My family hopes this review helps people who are just beginning their journey with their loved one. Hopefully you don't learn the hard way, as we did. I would never, never recommend Morningstar.

    Royal Oaks has almost completed its renovations in their main building, where nonresidents can…read moredrop in to their coffee shop, grill, and dining area, so I went to investigate. The coffee shop is named Thrive, the old Acorn Grill is now Wild Cactus, and there is also a lovely dining area with cruise ship sounding daily special menu items and a regular menu too. The bar renovation has not been completed yet, but these other areas are open for business and look fresh and appealing. I haven't eaten there since the renovations, but will be doing so soon. Before getting into the campus, you'll have to pass through the gates, telling the guard you intend to dine. Take time to look through the changing art exhibits in the hall gallery too--many are available for purchase at prices far below their worth.

I wouldn't work here I wasted to shitty years working here and all for a stupid policy they left me on my second warning not even a third time or anything. Ip half the time is dirty barley any work to do over there. Machines hardly work half the time. So I don't recommend it to be living there at all. For those senior People who want to live there, don't its a waste of money by the way. 5k + for rent to just be sitting on your death bed.
