The spacious conference room and the meticulous kept bathrooms created an impression on me too. The residences of this retirement community are encouraged to attend the free monthly events held in the life long learning room. Continued growth and learning are supported with presenting occupants with ASU student cards- which gives access to privileged facilities and resources, access to all university libraries, free access to most sporting events and performances and lectures. A array of healthcare services ranging from memory care, assisted living to rehabilitation. Culinary choices include a bistro, a cocktail lounge and fine dining options. Other offered services include laundry, housekeeping and transportation. For those seeking an active and social community in their golden years, this may be an option worth looking into.

My mother is going into her 6th year at Friendship Village Tempe Health Center. While her dementia…read morehas been slowly taking effect on her, the care the CNAs and nurses have risen to the occasion. They are all extremely friendly, knowledgeable and kind. My mother is extremely well taken care of there. The facility is clean, pleasant, well-maintained and has a very nice garden downstairs, with plants and a waterfall. The food is above average, and dieticians work to ensure each resident is tended to as needed. My two complaints are cost and number of employees (esp. regarding equipment). My mother has to be lifted into/out of bed and her wheelchair. It seems that there are only one or two of these lifts per floor. When she needs to go the bathroom, she sometimes has to wait 10 minutes, which is uncomfortable and, truly, degrading. For what they charge per month - which is a lot - they should have another lift. Also, the CNAs are overworked. They need at least one more per wing. The other complaint is cost. If my mother weren't using her life savings, we couldn't afford it; however, as long as she has the money, we will keep her there. I looked at several places. While FVT was a bit more expensive than many, the reviews are very, very good, and I wouldn't risk moving her to a cheaper facility. How they treat the patients when family isn't there is crucial. FVT employees take exceptional care of her. Highly recommended, if you can afford almost $9000 per month for a private room (not much less for a shared one...).

We were set up to move my Mom into Pennington Gardens this Monday, but was suddenly informed last…read morenight that my Mom can no longer move into the facility, ever, based on incomplete data from their nurse. Over the past month we have searched for a facility to take care of my Mom due to a continued decline in memory and reached out to their director Susan and was able to secure a room in their "memory care" wing of the facility. During the process, their nurse met with my Mom and had contacted her PCP for information and up until yesterday they became concerned that my Mom was on a antibiotic for a medical condition that she no longer has (tested negative early April). When I asked what my Mom's PCP told them I was informed they had left a message an they did not respond. In literal a few hours we went from moving in on April 6 to "sorry, we can never take your Mom, but can help you find a place". Please note that we have already given the notice at my Mom''s current facility. The worse part is that I never spoke with the nurse. All of my Mom's health concerns and denial came their director on site contacting me. The question becomes: do you want your loved one in a place where their director and nurse can make decisions like this in a vacuum and apply them to your already stressful situation.

I didn't even get into the building before I was threatened of trespassing, literally from the parking lot to the front door I couldn't get a single word out before I was swiftly asked to leave. Zero chance I would allow my family to even consider living in a place like this. Not to mention the landscape is extremely unkept and neglected, among other things that are neglected as well.

They did not provide regular detailed invoices yet charged my mother's credit card continually. After a month an a half and after I discontinued their service, I questioned the billing and had to insist on a full accounting. It took a while to get this, but it turns out, she was over charged over $800. My mother was finally refunded this amount but I was never given an explanation nor an apology, so I have to conclude it was due to incompetency, lack of oversight, and/or possibly fraud.

In many retirement communities, the assisted living residents are separated, and as such feel like second class citizens. At McDowell Village, independent and assisted living are involved in the same activities and eat in the same dining room. And what a dining room--thank you to the wonderful Rosa Guzman who knows every resident's name and has something lovely to say every meal! Many of the assisted living caregivers are kind, understanding and caring. Thank you to Veronica, Ashlee, Vicki, Mina, Bibi, Araceli, Joshua and Jesse. I would mention that even though we filled his pill case every week, my father was unable to take his medicines himself. For this reason, we signed up for Med help. However, it is labor intensive for the family/physician. We would like to thank the staff at McDowell Village for all the help we received during my father's stay.
