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.

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 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.

Profits for the investors take precedence over benefits for the residents. Food options have been reduced as well as portions and repetitiveness. They have the same 3 vegetables almost every night and run out of staple on a routine basis. Everything used to be made fresh; now, most is frozen, breaded, fried and over-salted. The residents who love it have no idea what it was before while rent rise as services decline or disappear altogether!

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

The owners are amazing and have been in this business for 11 years, so they know what they are doing and come with very high standards. When my Dad was passing the staff did not leave our sides. My sister and I were so supported through his passing. I cannot say enough great things about Caring for Loved Ones.

I was genuinely troubled to see the memory care director, Laurin, leave her position. Having worked…read morewith her a few months ago, I can say she was an extraordinarily loving, patient, and empathetic leader -- the kind of advocate this facility needs. I don't blame her for leaving at all. What concerns me most is something I witnessed firsthand: while waiting to speak with her, I overheard a conversation between her and the executive director. His tone was belittling, and he spoke about writing up and firing staff in a way that felt dismissive of the people actually doing the caregiving. Given that, it's hardly surprising how many memory care directors have come and gone. It's worrying to think this same leadership will be opening a new, state-of-the-art center -- I have real concerns about whether the culture behind the scenes matches the polish out front. I don't typically write reviews, but after learning Laurin had left and seeing firsthand how unsanitary and rundown the common areas have become, I felt I owed it to other families to speak up. This is memory care -- the residents here are especially vulnerable, and I think that raises the stakes on all of this considerably.

My only suggestion is I wish the med techs have a desk with a chair, so they don't have to be on the feet all day.

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.

Approximately 4 years ago, my husband suffered a stroke and then developed dementia…read more As his condition worsened, it became increasingly difficult for me to provide him the necessary care. About 20 months ago, I placed him at an assisted living facility, The Greenway Manor, 5235 E. Wagoner Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85254, where he has had a private room with a toilet. I agreed to the contract terms. Two months ago he entered the last stage of his life and started hospice care. On the evening of Friday, 12/14/24, I received a call from the owner Jaki, saying that rates were being substantially increased for all residents, starting in January. Jaki said that I could avoid the price increase if he moved to another house she owned. This move would have been a downgrade, where he would have to share a common bathroom, not to mention be very stressful for him. This is not something he should have to face at the very end of his life. I asked Jaki how much of an increase it would be to allow him to stay in his room. I was willing to pay a little more so that he could remain in a place he was already familiar with and to avoid undue stress for him at this critical time. She answered that it would be an increase of $1,500 to $3,500 per month, a substantial increase, which I simply could not afford. Jaki told me that if my husband were to move to her other house, it would have to be done on Monday, 12/17/24 (a mere 2 days notice). I couldn't sleep that night and was very sad and angry. I can understand that this is a business and the owner needs to make money, but the service objects are people and shouldn't be treated so callously. I find this a cold and heartless predatory practice that places profits over humanity. The next morning, I reached out to Jaki asking for more time to allow me to find a solution. Ignoring my tears, Jaki aggressively pressed me to agree to moving him to her other residence. She said that she had already coordinated the move with hospice and that she had a new tenant for his room lined up. After a difficult discussion with Jaki, she finally acquiesced a little and said I could have 2 weeks to move him out of her facility entirely. I'm pretty sure that the law requires at least a 30 day notice for regular renters in this state, let alone someone in an assisted living facility and I believe Jaki is ignoring the contract and perhaps state law(s). Unfortunately, I don't have time to get legal help or advice and have just been scrambling to find a place that will be good for him. So, just eleven days before Christmas, my poor husband with only a few months left to live has to uproot everything. I simply cannot believe how heartless Jaki has been, placing maximum profit over my husband and his well being. Simply callous and uncaring. This is on top of a $500 increase Jaki imposed in March this year. At that time, she told me that the price would not increase again for a long period of time. In May, my husband suffered a fall at the facility, resulting in a head injury, an "intra-cerebral hemorrhage." He was hospitalized at the Mayo Clinic for more than ten days. At that time, I considered looking for another facility, but Jaki assured me that they were able to meet his needs and continue taking care of him. I told Jaki that she had to be sure, as I didn't want to have to move him ever again. Jaki agreed. I want to be clear that the caregivers at The Greenway Manor have been wonderful. I truly want to thank them all. I am also grateful for the help I received from my Replacement Agent, Marco Lorenzana. He really came through in finding a suitable place for my husband and did so very quickly. I would also like to thank the entire team at United Hospice, the social worker Julia and nurses Christina and Whitney. I therefore cannot recommend The Greenway Manor to anyone.

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.
