As a human trafficking survivor, finding a treatment facility I could trust felt nearly impossible…read more Systems had failed me my entire life. I walked through Sierra Tucson's doors guarded, skeptical, and carrying wounds that most people will never understand. Thirty days later, I walked out transformed. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to create a protective bubble around me, a sense of safety I hadn't felt in longer than I can remember. They were not just clinically competent; they were human. They saw me. The setting itself is breathtaking. Nestled in the Sonoran Desert, there's a stillness and beauty to this place that becomes part of the healing. And the programming? Intense... in the best possible way. Full days of structured, meaningful work meant that I genuinely felt like I received six months of treatment in 30 days. It's demanding because it works. A few moments stand out that I'll carry with me always. Jesse in equine therapy introduced me to something I never expected, the quiet miracle of regulating alongside a horse, feeling its heartbeat slow mine. It was unlike anything I had experienced in treatment before. Staying in the all-female lodge was not just a preference; it was essential to my healing. Sierra Tucson understood that without having to be convinced. And my service animal. We face barriers everywhere. Sierra Tucson was educated, prepared, and welcoming from the very first interaction. That alone told me everything I needed to know about how much they truly care. Our daily process groups gave me something sacred: a space to speak my truth without fear of retribution. To say the things I had never been able to say, and to heal by simply being heard. The care doesn't stop at discharge, either. The Connect 365 aftercare program, and Sean specifically, has kept that Sierra Tucson spirit alive in my daily life. That continuity matters more than words can express. Sierra Tucson is award-winning for a reason. In fact, it's time they receive another one. For survivors like me, this place isn't just a treatment center; it's proof that trust can be rebuilt, that healing is possible, and that we deserve care that meets us exactly where we are.

I was a patient at Sierra Tucson for one month in July 2021…read more It has taken me almost five years to write this because my experience there was so traumatic. I went there for help with severe chronic pain, depression, and trauma, and I left feeling much worse, not better. From the very beginning, I experienced a lack of professionalism and care. I was picked up from the airport by a staff member who immediately asked me if I smoked so he could smoke on the drive. The van smelled heavily of cigarette smoke the entire hour-long ride. That was my introduction to a place that claims to prioritize health and healing. My first night, after finally falling asleep around midnight, I was woken at 2 am when a staff member turned on all the lights and loudly announced I had a roommate. I woke up in a full trauma response. I was there to heal trauma, not be retraumatized. Within the first couple of days, I spoke with staff to try to arrange to leave. There were so many red flags within the first 24 hours, and it was pretty clear that this was not going to be a healing experience for me. I wanted to leave. They quickly arranged a meeting for me with one of the higher ups and he manipulated me into staying, taking advantage of my vulnerable state. If I had been in a better state of mind, I would have booked a flight home immediately. The environment was chaotic and disorganized. My toilet ran nonstop for over a week despite multiple reports. Staffing was inadequate, and there were many times I needed support and had to wait hours to speak to someone. The scheduling was a constant issue and incredibly stressful and exhausting. My schedule was almost always wrong, so every morning I had to go to the scheduling desk to get it corrected. I often had to wait because the staff were almost always late, and when they did arrive, they were unfriendly and unhelpful. I waited for appointments that didn't exist and missed ones that were never properly scheduled. I was told before coming that I would receive EMDR, which was one of the main reasons I chose this facility. After weeks of asking, I was eventually told I would not be getting it at all. I submitted many written complaints during my stay, and nothing was ever addressed. There was no accountability or follow-through. The financial aspect was incredibly misleading and exploitative. My family paid $45,000 for my stay. Only after arriving did I learn that many of the "integrative services" presented on their website were not included and required an additional $2,500 to access. By that point, I had already rearranged my life to be there for a month and had already committed financially, so I reluctantly paid the extra money. The additional services were not worth it. It was a bait-and-switch. There were also serious issues with professionalism and basic respect. My belongings were damaged, including my ukulele. A $45,000 check from my father was lost for over a week. I also overheard staff gossiping about me which was shocking, emotionally painful, and deeply inappropriate in a treatment setting. My experience with my individual therapist Minnie was very unprofessional and harmful. She was unkind and unsympathetic and shared personal information with my father without my consent, including information that was completely untrue, which caused serious harm in my family. There were many situations that were actively retraumatizing rather than therapeutic. During my stay, a patient died by suicide in a room just a couple doors down from mine. One minute I was sitting across from her at dinner, and the very next morning I found out that she had hung herself in her room the night before. That alone speaks to the level of safety and support in the environment, and it had a profound emotional impact on me while I was already in a vulnerable state. Even the programming did not match what was advertised. Even the programming did not match what was presented. For example, "equine therapy" consisted of a single brief session where we all stood around and briefly touched a horse. That was the extent of it. When I got home, I immediately wrote to Sierra Tucson and provided detailed documentation of everything that had happened and asked for my money back. I did not receive any resolution. Overall, I spent a significant amount of time trying to advocate for basic aspects of my care while dealing with chronic pain and emotional distress. I spent an enormous amount of time trying to fix issues that should never have been my responsibility. It was incredibly frustrating and exhausting. Instead of being able to focus on healing, I was dealing with constant stress, instability, and emotional harm, which made my condition worse. People come to places like this when they are at their most vulnerable. What I experienced was not just disappointing, it was deeply harmful.

Spent a week there after my stroke and 3 days at ST Mary's…read more Pros: Great PT and OT staff, friendly, competent, professional, always a smile and treating the patients with respect. Nursing care was excellent as well. Cleaning staff worked to keep the rooms clean. Cons: Limited focus on healing environment. Food was barely edible, hot food mostly cold, really unsafe, often couldn't tell what i was eating, they offer extra items on the menu, just check them off, yet don't provide little pencils, so that is a fail. The time i did order other items, not fullfilled. Erratic staff performance: often left the lights on after night checking vitals, often not all vitals taken, roomate left their tv on 24/7, so i had to listen to old tv shows, high level of noise from the hallways, Too many times Vitals equipment not working, broken. Communicated to management via web site response, no response to my note:,Fail Given i was in rehab did spend time watching netflix on my phone, took days to understand they had wifi, and to obtain the account name and password. So many little items to easily fix, to improve the experience, management not paying attention or maybe don't care. Changing the little things would improve the experience big time.

If he had not been here, I would not received any until 5:00 when I finally got a jug of it. Then, I never received dinner until at 7:15. The only reason I did, was the person finally answered my call button. Dinner tray was received 20 min later.I then asked about my meds that I take with dinner. Well, it is an hour later 8:25 pm, and no meds. I am going to give up and go to sleep.

I was sent here for rehab after breaking both of my legs in a fall while on the job. I had heard…read morethe horror stories about this place, both in reviews and direct from previous patients, but it was the only facility my employer's insurance would pay for. The doctors here disregarded my prescriptions from my surgeon, deciding they could alter them without examining or speaking to me. As a result, my pain, which had previously been managed effectively, exploded. Rather than keeping me on a set schedule and receiving my three different pain medications simultaneously, they arbitrarily decided that I have to explicitly ask for each of them separately, at least an hour apart. They also lowered the dosages while increasing the frequency. This is especially problematic overnight, as I don't want to set alarms that will wake my roommate 5-6 times throughout the night, so I have to rely on my pain to wake me, which means I end up waiting too long between doses, which makes the medication less effective at controlling it. The nursing staff is rude and argumentative. They gave me a wheelchair that was cobbled together out of parts that don't fit or lock in place properly, and the thermostat is set to 78 degrees. The splints wrapping the lower halves of my legs were already causing me to be warm in the typically cold hospital. Here I'm sweating my balls off, but I'm somehow still supposed to keep my splints clean and dry? Don't go here if you have any other choice. EDIT: Every nurse here has a different set of rules as to what medications I'm allowed to take, and when. Every time there's a shift change, the new nurse tells me they can't do what the last shift insisted was how I had to do it. One nurse says none can be taken together, and there must be at least an hour between different meds. One says two can be taken together, and there must be at least two hours between doses in the rotation. One says I'm only allowed one of them every four hours. Nobody knows wtf is going on.

This place brings to mind 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'. I had a good friend who was sent here…read morefor rehab for a compression fracture in her lower back. She had to use the restroom one evening shortly after her arrival and called for help. No one ever came. She managed to get out of bed and go to the bathroom by herself. She had a roommate who was crying in pain and once again no one came. My friend managed to get in a wheelchair and go down the hall to find someone to help. They came and said they would return with pain medication. They never returned. My friend eventually called 911. They came and took her roommate to the hospital. Later the staff was overheard saying that the roommate had refused her medication, which was not the truth. I came the following day because my friend said she had an upper respiratory infection. Given her existing medical conditions, this could be a serious problem. When I arrived, I told them I was there to pick her up and take her to the hospital. I was met with a great deal of opposition and bullying. They said she was leaving without their consent and therefore would not give her her medications. Then they brought a paper in to be signed which absolved them of any responsibility. My friend refused to sign it. They then said she could not leave without signing it?? They left to find the doctor. In the meantime, I loaded my friend and her belongings in a wheelchair and left. I took her to TMC. Her blood pressure was very low and her heart rate was in the 180's! She was diagnosed with the flu and fluid in her lungs which was affecting her heart. Had I not picked her up, this would not have been diagnosed or treated. If you have a loved one in this facility, they need an advocate or someone to act on their behalf. Horrible experience.

I watched how they rolled the chuck/pads under you and the brief how they taped it and how you rolled from side to side. so, from there on, I changed myself! they may not do personal care for me any longer! it boggled my mind! I was a patient there, I'm in a wheelchair for 10 years now but I broke my leg in a car accident and had surgery. so this is what I experienced above. it's difficult to write this in a review. but people need to know the personal care, and how they do not care! I am compassionate and realize they have many other patients, too many in fact, and some CNAs and nurses work double shifts. it has become the last couple of months, like a revolving door. people are quitting and I'll see a new face each and every day! this is difficult on the patient even though I do feel sorry for the employees. they should be paid more. also, they should be able to hire more medical professionals so they do not have to have 25 to 30 patients for one employee! therefore, the patient suffers as your call button will be going for one, two even 3 hours without help. suppose you're choking? suppose you're having a heart attack? after all, we are in these rehab facilities after coming from a hospital from many illnesses, falls and fractures, some are on oxygen etc. secondly, they seem to only care about money, about filling a bed! the meals are awful! they come cold, & every day three times a day the trays and the silverware are incredibly filthy! if you are one of the 10% of elderly that 'speak up', advocate for yourself, your own body and mind. watch out! they do not like that. so be very careful. it's like walking on eggshells. I lived it for 7 and 1/2 months. I didn't even have a way or the time to grieve for my husband that passed away only months before I entered on June 4th 2025. I left January 16th 2026. if you have a loved one, please do NOT bring them to Park Avenue health and rehabilitation Center. do not be fooled by fancy decor, as chandeliers and such as you walk in the front door..( at any place). looks are deceiving. and you will be greeted kindly by the staff and office people. you have to visit your loved one or be a patient moreover to know what you got yourself into! if you really love your loved one you will be aware of where you are taking them to live or to heal. and never sign anything before reading every word!
