Yes I would recommend them for independent living. Assisted living is abominable. My mom has been…read morethere for respite for a week and I have not been able to have her medications correct or have her vitals monitored, in spite of many calls. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Every day I have been there in person (5days), I have been unable to find anyone on her floor to speak to for at least 30 minutes. Find another place for assisted living.

I heard an older resident and new one talking about the Beatitudes Choice. The new resident was…read morevery happy with her Beatitudes choice. I visit the independent living area. Not much care.

My family is very fortunate to have discovered The Cottages formerly Pacifica. My spouse had…read moresevere dementia with behavioral issues; and other facilities were not able to care for him and meet his needs. It was a blessing to find this facility with the help of a social worker. I met with the Executive Director, Erin who helped me understand the facility's approach to caring for its residents. She brought me a since of calm that I had not experienced since starting this journey with my spouse 3 years earlier. The office staff is professional and caring. The caregivers, nursing personnel and other staff are compassionate and always helpful. I no longer feared a call from an assisted living facility as I had in the past because I knew everything was under control, and my spouse was well cared for at all times by knowledgeable and tenderhearted personnel. As my spouse's condition deteriorated, everyone from office staff, to cottage staff were very kind and comforting. I routinely visited, unannounced, so I could check on my spouse. I found him well taken care of and happy during my visits. Hospice personnel who ultimately helped with the care of my spouse coordinated with The Cottages personnel, and my spouse was treated with respect and dignity. When he passed away, the staff were genuinely upset and empathetic toward my needs. I highly recommend The Cottages in Peoria AZ to care for your loved ones.

Five years of investigative journalism curiosity, and concern exercised at four different senior…read moreliving places from fall 2019 until now, gave me the incentive to move into one with a shining"star" award in Senior living. what a relief to move away from that which is fraught with negative negligent and inexcusable behavior directed toward our most precious assets: our seniors. U.S. Senior living offerings are pandemic with misbehavior directed toward our elder humanity, which often has the effect of nullifying their existence . I was privy to NIC meetings, and I taped extensive meetings where investors clarified the meaning of what senior living really is , simply "real estate" with a steady stream, guaranteed by the inflow of walking talking gullible seniors and outflow of their bodies to whatever place they have prearranged their final disposition, if they have even done that! So I escaped senior living and fled to downtown Phoenix where I reinvented myself as JK Emerson Smith, my nom de plum, lived in a 24 story, high-rise, surrounded by ASU students and young professionals for almost a year and a half? While living there I was infused with their energy and vigor..... I felt desperate to never ever again live around "old people" and then what do you know? I landed on a 40 acre piece of property that feels like it was transported directly from heaven: a nonprofit, basically resident/volunteer run, operating with a likeness to an HOA called the GCA, and is not dependent upon squeezing every dime out of every Senior on limited to moderate incomes. In addition, this campus is staffed, with what I can only call caring, dedicated individuals, infused with the deepest desire to support, help, care about and look out for their senior residents. While I'm not easily impressed, I am not easily fooled..... except for not realizing that Senior living communities have a habit of over-promising and Under-delivering. One example might be the promise of "three chef prepared meals daily", while failing to explain the chef works at Stouffer's! Here where I live the Casitas are cozy representatives of the individual taste and style of the residents living within, and thankfully not the type of exterior that resembles a mental institution or prison. If you see a Community, which displays repetitious likenesses, for example, gravel instead of grass, no flowers, simply a sterile atmosphere and appearance, take note immediately and run like hell! I can almost guarantee that what you see on the outside is indicative of how leadership will act internally; that's institutional, thinking and I no longer live in an institution. I found a home ! Indeed, a home that respects my prior experience enough to give me a TV talk show weekly to interview the residents on the campus here so everyone can meet their neighbors and have the opportunity to present their previous skill sets, accomplishments, and successes, as well as perhaps talk a little bit about the failures that led to them being successes . When I vetted those NIC meetings, never once did I hear anyone mention concern for the quality of life of a senior resident. Pay attention when analyzing where you think you want to live . If the leadership decides that they want to turn everything into a low maintenance residential institutional type epicenter that simply caters to the famous revolving door of seniors with wallets, run the other way!! If you decide to run my way, you can appear on "Stories from the Porch", or better yet Google that title and add JK to your Google search and have a look at the stories told by the residents who live here and how they differ from the smiling artificial seniors in the ads for other senior living "facilities".... partially because this isn't a facility. This is your home! in closing, I can only tell you that I love my housekeeper. She spends an hour here paying attention to how clean things are. I love the food the choice of restaurants on the campus I love the staff in the fact that no matter what kind of a problem I may face I don't have to face it alone because there's someone here on this campus that I can talk to . You have the rest of your life ahead of you. Make sure you spend every single day wisely! You are now a human ATM machine in the eyes of the FOR-PROFIT "retirement industry" and don't give anyone your pin number.!! Furthermore, (and because when I say "closing" I'm never really close to closing) lose the title "Senior citizen" and when you move here I'll award you a V-POW badge....."veteran, vintage or valuable person of worth". Just move in and ask for JK. Everyone knows what the term "bang for the buck" means and you'll be shocked at clearly you'll come to understand that phrase when you do business with a nonprofit.

I moved my husband with late stage dementia into Glencroft in January of 2025. It seemed to be a…read moregood fit. I won't speak on the issues he had, but only general things that I witnessed at the facility. Under staffing, a problem at most facilities, is also an issue here. Some of the staff truly cared but seemed to be very overworked and couldn't do for residents what I believe they would like to have done. Others were there for the paycheck. Things that really bothered me: nobody helped get hands washed before meals; there was a pitcher of water sitting out for residents, but most days there were no cups, and most of the residents were incapable of getting it or knowing they needed to drink which is so critical in preventing UTI's in dementia patients. The cups for meals only held about 5 ounces of liquid and no one offered refills. Hubby's underwear was not changed daily. Washcloths never seemed to be used; it didn't appear personal care was taken care of; his personal care items were in a locked drawer, but never seemed to be used including his shampoo and body lotion. The food was edible, but barely. I witnessed the woman in charge arguing with a dementia patient. But my biggest complaint is the lack of activities or things to do for the residents. There was one TV with several comfy chairs for well over 20 residents, but nothing else. They were left to wander or sit and stare. I visited 5-6 days a week and engaged him in water painting, playing ball and cards while he could, but that's not enough for someone suffering with this awful disease. I tried arranging for volunteers to go to entertain the residents, but though the facility said it would be nice, they made it next to impossible for volunteers to go. My hubby acted out and was kicked out after 2 months but I'm not surprised. I would act out too if left in those conditions. Perhaps Glencroft is good for independent living, but not for memory care.

My Dad spent 5 days here at the skilled facility for respite. He did not enjoy the experience,…read morehowever I can understand that and want to give a fair review. My biggest issue, NO ONE and I do mean NEVER EVER does the skilled facility actually answer the phone, so there is no way to call and check in on your loved one if they aren't capable of answering/ calling you. Second biggest issue was medications, I was not told to bring the meds from home (I place that error on the hospice) but after he was there they requested the meds, so I drove there after work with the meds. The nurse on only took 2 or 3 stating they received the rest delivered from the pharmacy. I good, right? Wrong. The night shift nurse in day 3 calls me (Bless her) and says, hey did you know we only have some of his meds? I drive over and bring his meds again. When they sent him home, didn't send all the meds home, lol had to drive over to pick up and 2 of the med bottles were lost forever. At this point i want to mention it's a 45 min drive from my home one way, blah. He did have a fall at the facility, while using the restroom alone. No real injuries and they did notify me (The nurse used her personal cell so she did answer when I returned that call)! Facility was clean and the room spacious, but the respite stay was not restful for me.

I have nothing but good things to say about the owners and caregivers at Paradise Life Care 2 …read more They are taking care of our 93 and 98 year old parents and have always gone over and above with the care and treatment they lavish on them. They constantly work with the medical PA to give our parents the appropriate and best medical care the PA has determined they need. Whenever there is a concern or issue they have kept me advised and we work together to resolve the issue for the best interest of both our parents and us. We have nothing but good things to say about the owners and caregivers. They are truly a god send during our parents declining health issues and I wouldn't have my parents anywhere else. Being in such a caring family oriented home was very important to us and keeping our parents together was a prime concern that has only been doable because of the staff here. If you are looking for a caring, family oriented and medically professional place for your loved one as they age and need assistance you will find Paradise Life Care is an exceptional home for their placement and your peace of mind.
