Julia is the backbone of this caring facility and I want to thank her. We used to visit mom on the back patio, mom's gone now but I will never forget the kindness all the workers showed us and the updates Julia would call us on daily. If you're looking for a clean, very structured facility, this is your home sweet home.

Moving my dad into care was one of the most emotional decisions we have ever made, especially after…read morea very difficult and painful experience at a larger facility. We were nervous, protective, and unsure what would happen next. From the minute we walked into Extended Family Home, everything changed. The atmosphere is exactly what the name says, a home. You can feel it the second you open the door. There is warmth in the walls, light in the way people interact, and a true sense of family that is impossible to fake. It is not clinical or sterile. It is calm, beautiful, organized, and full of quiet dignity and love. Marta, the owner, is someone who lives and breathes compassion. You can tell this is her calling. She is involved in every detail, every day, and you feel her presence in every thoughtful system and interaction. From our first conversation, she asked me detailed and specific questions, not just to check boxes, but to truly understand my dad, his needs, his rhythms, and what was ahead. That was the first sign we were in a completely different kind of place. My dad has dementia and is a high fall risk, and at his previous facility, care was rushed, inconsistent, and frightening. At Extended Family Home, we were stunned from day one that he was letting them help him shower, guide him to the bathroom, and care for him so willingly. That was because they had patience, time, compassion, and most importantly, the right strategies for working with memory care residents. The difference was immediate and profound. A couple weeks in, there was a scary moment when my dad's blood sugar dropped to a dangerous level. The way the team responded, calm, professional, intelligent, and proactive, is something I will never forget. They managed the situation so well, and I truly believe that if he had still been at his old facility, the outcome could have been much worse. They were mindful of his schedule, his habits, and his medical needs from the start, and I am grateful every day that they were there when he needed them most. They may have saved his life. Vicki, the home manager, is one of the warmest people I have ever met. She knows every detail and every person in that home, and you can feel her heart in how she leads the day to day care. You feel safe when she is around, and even more importantly, so does your loved one. And then there is Dani, the cook, who brings just as much joy as she does nourishment. When I came to interview, she was dancing with one of the residents who loves music. That moment told me everything. This is a home where people are not just taken care of, they are seen, loved, and connected with in meaningful ways. The staff has been there for years. There is no turnover, which is rare and speaks volumes about the environment Marta has created, not just for the residents, but for her employees. That kind of stability creates real trust and consistency for people with dementia, and we saw the results right away. Choosing care for a loved one is the most important decision you can make. We did not know how much better things could be until we found this home. Extended Family Home has brought peace, safety, dignity, and compassion back into our dad's life, and ours too. We are so grateful to have found them and we cannot recommend them enough.

Activities leave a lot to be desired at Bella Vista. There is a sign up book for about 30 clubs…read more The residents have expressed interest in some of these clubs. However even tho we signed up in Feb many clubs have no meeting dates or time. What about the scooter safety information we signed requesting in Feb?? Nothing, no follow up, no information. Travel club Same. There are multiple others. Some activities on the calendar are a mystery. What is a knowledge nest education class?? At least offer a brief explanation of what a knowledge nest education class offers. Activities offered darts in the bistro. The darts had no points. Magnets on them were weak. They fell off the target. We are not children. Please don't offer us sports, games for a child. Someone needs to review activity interest as evidenced by sign up and participation. It looks like there is plenty to do but that is misleading.

If your insurance sends you to a SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility) after surgery, you'll be lucky if…read moreyou can go to Good Samaritan Society-Mesa. I'd heard so many horror stories about SNF and reading the reviews online made it even scarier. I'm so happy that I chose Good Samaritan! I can't say enough about the teams that assisted me in my rehab from a broken hip. Two RN's, JoAnne and her team as well as Julie and her team made my recovery easier. The PT team, after one correction, were top notch! Here's something you don't hear too often about SNF's -- the food was awesome, that is, when Tammy was working in the kitchen. Otherwise it was dismal. The dietician was wonderful to order special food for my diet. Rosie, the Social Director, made me feel like I was with family; she is the best! All in all, the experience was good and I highly recommend Good Samaritan Society-Mesa. The only reason I couldn't go five stars is because of two incidents: Upon arrival from hospital my intake nurse was great and assured me that they would get my meds right. She was able to provide a pain med four hours after arrival according to dr's instructions. She left instructions for the night nurse to do the same every four four hours. Instead the night nurse totally ignored the dr's instructions and the ones left for her by the intake nurse. She wouldn't even come in to my room but sent word with a LPN that they didn't have the meds the doctor prescribed. (Which wasn't true). I was not offered any substitute, not even Tylenol! So for eight hours, I lay in pain, crying. The second reason I can't give five stars is because the executive team tried to dismiss me without pain meds, which I understand is not lawful in AZ. They had a temporary doctor on duty who could not or would not prescribe them. What? Yes, it's true. It was midday on Friday and I was told I would have to see my primary care physician to have him prescribe the proper pain meds. On a Friday??? (The last time I tried to get an appt with my primary care physician I had to book four weeks out.) I had remaining pain meds at this SNF that its' regular doctor prescribed and after a meeting with the nursing supervisor, we finally worked it out that those pain meds were mine and could go home with me. (My dr's office says that is the AZ State Law) It was enough to get me through the weekend. The pain meds were not strong Opiods, in fact, they just took the edge off the pain. I am allergic to Codeine and its derivatives so that eliminates all the oxy-contins, etc. Would these two events have not happened I would give Good Samaritan another star.

Assisted Living of Mesa is not the typical group home! Before I visited this home, I was sure that…read morethe type of loving, professionally-run home I so needed for my mom did not exist! I toured more group homes than I can count; typically leaving in tears considering the type of 'existence' my mom would have there. As a school administrator with high standards, I expected equally high standards from other professions; my expectations were truly always shot down when I visited group homes in the Phoenix area. I began to think the 'best' was just very below-average and felt despair in considering leaving my dear mother in any of them. But... when I stepped inside the Assisted Living of Mesa, I immediately felt a difference- a huge difference. At the other homes I had visited, I always had the sense that the caregivers were putting on a happy face for visitors but somehow sensed that when the door closed, things were not so happy. I was negative about the whole group home concept and was distraught over how I could take care of my mother. The caregivers have a really hard job, I know, but I can't compromise my mom's safety and care. ​But... when walked into the Assisted Living of Mesa, I could not continue with that negative feeling. I immediately felt that the employees were committed to making the group home a HOME for everyone who visited or lived there! There was such a genuine feeling that permeated every aspect of the tour. I immediately sensed that my dear mom, who has dementia and cannot really advocate for herself, would be loved, cared for and about, and not left alone. I knew, on that initial tour, that I could go to work each day knowing that she was loved, helped, taken care of, supported, and considered part of a family. Now, Mom has been at the Assisted Living of Mesa for almost three years. They love her there, meet her needs for dementia care, and I have never worried or wondered about how she is treated. I have to work; I also have to care for my mom who cared for me for so long. This group home is not the typical group home!

I would like to share our experience with my mom being at the Oasis for almost 8 years…read more When looking for a place for her to be, we toured several independent living places. After our tour at the Oasis, she knew this was where she wanted to be and we agreed. We loved the size of her apartment, that it had a washer and dryer, the food and the dining room, the activities(she has played bingo and pokeno for years) and loves Nicole, the social director and for how clean and pretty the landscaping and common areas are. Mom loved the servers in the dining room, the maintenance workers, who did everything from changing light bulbs and filters to air conditioning problems or whatever timely. A huge plus for us was that The Oasis at Mesa Palms is independently owned vs corporate. Jeremy, the owner, has been a pleasure to work with and is very patience and has a great attitude. Mom was at The Oasis all during covid and I was very impressed with the procedures that had in place to take care of all the residents there. Mom always felt proud of her "home" whenever any of her family and friends would come and visit her. Her grandchilden loved to have lunch or dinner with her there because of the desserts and it seemed a little fancy. When comparing pricing, the Oasis was very fair. My mom is now 92 and her health has made us make the decision to have to end her time at The Oasis, but what a great almost 8 years it has been Thanks again to everyone for taking such great care of her and for all the joy she had there.
