We chose Vi at Grayhawk because of the outstanding ranking of their health care unit and the warmth of the residents in the community. We attended several "meet the residents" marketing events. Our transition has been flawless. We sold our home very quickly, before the total renovation of our apartment was completed so the sales team at Vi provided housing for us for 5 weeks and absorbed the cost of storage of our furniture. They provided a recommendation for an excellent mover, and put us in touch with a relocation specialist who drew a floor plan to advise which pieces of furniture would fit in our new space. This experience has been much better than we could have expected. The staff is overwhelmingly kind and responsive, the food is delicious (two dining spaces, one formal and one casual) and we are so comfortable in our beautiful apartment. We're thrilled to be at Vi at Grayhawk.

It's also a great location just east of Scottsdale on Shea. The apartments themselves are a great size and the entire facility is clean and vibrant.

Yesterday, I went to visit them and have lunch with them at their facility's restaurant. From the moment I walked in, I marveled at how new and beautiful everything looked. There was even a slight smell of fresh paint to add to the newness. The decor in the lobby was gorgeous and upscale, with high ceilings, inventive light fixtures, and lots of seating. The restaurant offers sit-down service. They have daily specials and a soup of the day. They had a good variety of sandwiches, salads, soups, and desserts for lunch. The brownie was my favorite part of the meal. It was decadent! This facility allows for small pets. There is a dog run area outside. There's also a heated pool and a gorgeous seating area outside with a large television mounted on the wall. My friend showed me the activity schedule. They offer many fitness and enrichment classes, such as art classes in the art studio. There are also bridge, rummikub, and mahjong groups that meet on a regular basis. This facility is not yet at 100% capacity. I would definitely recommend booking a tour if you are in the market for retirement living, assisted living, or memory care.

Andara Senior Living Community July 12, 2026…read moreAn Independent, Assisted Living, Memory Care Community What drew me here and what keeps me here!!! Covid changed the direction of my life and became the catalyst for my move to Scottsdale, Arizona. My son, who lives in north Phoenix, invited me to come and stay with him and his family for a couple weeks after my bout with Covid. I took him up on the invitation, but little did I know that he had an ulterior motive. He and my other son had seen the effects of Covid on me physically. Consequently, he felt I needed to reassess my life and my future. And that is where my story begins. I came to Andara, not willingly, but with a caveat. I would try Andara for a month and if I was unhappy with my circumstances, I would return to California and continue life there. Well, one month led to another and so on and nearly five years later, I am still here. When I was staying with my son, he brought up the subject of all inclusive Senior communities, that is communities that included food, utilities, housekeeping, internet, television, just about everything that you would incur living on your own plus activities to keep you engaged most of your day and assisted living if need be. We followed that conversation with visits to six communities and frankly I was not taken with any community other than Andara, which we visited twice. What struck me about Andara was its ambiance. It was appointed nicely from the outside, but what made a significant impression on me, was the lobby area adorned with a beautiful chandelier, curved staircases, one on each side of the lobby to the second floor and a huge fireplace that could be seen visually from the lobby into the dining room. It was like a scene from the movie, Titanic. That impression was lasting. There were other features of the community, such as a library, card room, several areas for socialization and so on. The residents and staff were very friendly. The apartment I chose was very nice. After two weeks of considering what was best, I picked Andara. However, not without trepidation and the ability to leave Andara, knowing there was a thirty-day clause allowing for that possibility. Today, almost five years later, Andara is a thriving community and home to Independent residents, Assisted Living residents and Memory Care. Approximately 160 residents call Andara their home. Nestled quietly off Via Linda, just a stone's throw from Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd., it is close to all necessary shopping as well as eateries, banking, doctors, entertainment etc. Yet, its location provides a sense of serenity from the hustle and bustle that is normal everyday living. Residents hail from every part of the United States. They have brought their talents, personalities and heritage to a community where residents are considered number one. Their backgrounds have provided so much to Andara's feeling of openness, acceptance and true fellowship. I can talk about a vibrant activity program that meets the demands of most of our residents. Whether it is a craft activity in the Art studio, playing Poker in the Card room or Mahjong in Bogarts or the Record room, physical fitness classes in the fitness room or gym, Drum fit in the fitness room, water aerobics in the pool, movies in the theater, weekly speakers, religious services, monthly men and women luncheons, board games, puzzles, brunches on special occasions, book club, Happy hour highlighting entertainment for residents, outside events, you name it and we most likely have it. How about the dining room and kitchen! They are open to serve our residents from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM every day with breakfast, lunch or dinner and in between and the food offerings are plentiful. Topping that, we are so fortunate to have a Chef with unparallel experience in the kitchen who is intent on making our dining experience memorable every day. Resident Services are extremely important for our residents, and we are blessed to have a Director of Resident Services who is working hand in hand with residents and through care givers and Med Techs to provide the best level of service for our Assisted living and Memory Care residents. She is driven, focused and very caring. Now, I want to talk about the management team at Andara. The Executive Director of Andara has surrounded herself with a staff of professionals that enjoy what they do and take their responsibilities seriously with care and empathy for all our residents. Like anything in life, Andara is not without its problems. The community is a microcosm of what we all bring to its doors each day. Sure, there will be days of frustration for some, days of sadness for others, days where we wish we were back in our former surroundings, days that seem unsettling, but like I said previously, our residents are our most important asset and that is what keeps me here among other assets. Andara is my home and it has been a great blessing in so many ways. Mike Rivera, Resident, 11-108.

Maryvilla is one of the few places that actually have 24/7 nurses that makes sure the loved one gets the best possible care - Been going for about a year. There's two dining rooms with gourmet food, great 24/7 security - and there's 24/7 activities that happen there. There is few pianos to play on, a small arcade area, a library. There's a huge living room where residents watch movies and the view from the balcony areas is great during July 4th fireworks in the area. No complaints here, you may see protected wild life like Javelins in the area but thats typical in Scottsdale. This area is also next to Fairmont Princess Hotel so out of state loved ones can visit and stay at walking distance. So this place may be more expensive than most places that just let the residents sit around - I seen interaction with residents with the caring nurses that's been there for many years. A++ place, would highly recommend.

Plus, you will pay VERY high monthly dues on top of the buy-in fee. From day one, we were dissatisfied with Maravilla. From the dishonest salesperson misrepresenting the unit we were "sold", to management wringing every dollar they could out of us when we decided to leave for better accommodations, we often felt like we were being taken advantage of or mistreated. I can only assume that many of the people on staff at Maravilla have no aging loved ones, because if they did, they would behave with more compassion and humanity than we ever saw from them. My advice...Keep shopping and you'll find something better. It might not be as pretty as Maravilla, but the people will probably care about your loved ones more.

I don't think there is a better word than horrified!…read more My mother-in-law told me last week and before I sent this email off to you I had to cool down. When the air conditioning was installed in the building, she woke up one morning, stepped out of her bedroom "half dressed" to go get some coffee and was startled by two men working in her apartment. She gave them NO AUTHORIZATION to come in, Atria did not inform or ask her the day before ( at least ) to let her know someone would be entering her apartment. Thankfully, she didn't have a heart attack as she was scared to death. She ran back in her bedroom hoping they did not see her and waited for them to leave. This cannot be an acceptable way of doing business, this is not acceptable in any way. I am generally the person that can handle just about anything but this is BEYOND ACCEPTABLE. She was embarrassed to even tell us this. As far as I am concerned this was basically breaking and entering! What the heck is going on there? Atria is supposed to be a company that we can trust with our parents well this clearly proves that they are not!
