With such a great review, there is only one area of improvement which is food quality, could improve to have less processed foods.

We looked at a number of places, but when we met Ben and Michelle, the operators of this truly caring home, we knew we had found the perfect spot. Ben and Michelle treat you and the folks they look after like family. Almost 2 years have passed, and they have actually escalated in their safe keeping of my father. Ben and Michelle are continually striving to tweak his surroundings to his personal needs - foods he likes, activities, adjusting his furniture, and always providing him with genuine affection while constantly monitoring and updating his health and medical needs. We have true peace of mind knowing our father is enjoying the best treatment possible under the loving supervision of Ben and Michelle at Blue Lakes.

When Covid hit, Misty even started stopping by my mom's house or giving her a call just to check on her every couple of weeks to see if she needed anything. I live 5 hours away and my mom was living alone, I can't tell you how much comfort this act of kindness brought to us both. After a few months, my mom was finally able to move into her own apartment on the 3rd floor overlooking the pool. It was like she was on vacation every day! The staff is amazing, they always made sure mom had everything she wanted. They even made special accommodations for my family and I to have a private little birthday party for her complete with her favorite food and margaritas! I always felt like my mother's best interests and making sure she was safe and happy was their top priority.

There are many activities and excursions, an excellent movie theater room, a workout room with exercise equipment, and regular performances by live musicians. She really enjoys the near-weekly "happy hour" with live music and snacks. The restaurant-style dining is also a plus (and the food is GOOD!--the whole family really enjoyed the special Christmas Eve dinner ) Almost every room has a balcony or some sort of outdoor access. My Mom loves to have her morning coffee on her private balcony. The management and staff has also been great about communication with me about any concerns that have about my Mom. The Management has done a great job is creating a real community where the residents and staff truly care about each other.

My dad has been living here for about two years now. He is 93. He only lasted two weeks in the…read moreplace he lived prior to this before their poor care put him in the hospital and I was forced to move him. I was very careful before moving him again and we looked at a lot of places. Scottsdale North (SN) came highly recommended by the placement agency we were working with. Simon, the owner of SN, is a saint. He is extremely patient and caring and puts up with a lot from my cranky dad. His care givers are very nice and attentive. Matt, who used to be full-time but is now only there on Saturdays, is the most thoughtful caring person you could imagine. My dad was very lucky to have Matt looking after him. My dad needs to be closely monitored for diet and water consumption due to congestive heart failure. I credit Simon with being the reason my dad is still alive. My dad moans and groans about his diet and water restrictions but he is not ready to die and their care is keeping him alive. He has not been in the hospital for over a year now, which is a record for him in the past 3-4 years. The SN house is like a mansion and is very nice. There are a maximum of ten residents. The food quality is good but there are times that my dad will say he did not like what was being served and skip the meal. My dad complains about the food but he also complains when I used to take him to Fleming's or Houston's. There have only been a few times where I had to ask them to "elevate their game", but I can partially attribute that to the difficulty in dealing with my dad. In those cases they were understanding and responsive. This is a very tough job that requires a huge amount of patience and caring and they do fulfill that requirement well. There are less expensive options but they do not compare to SN. If this place is in your budget range, I can highly recommend it.

They called me anytime there was a problem such as a fall. They worked with Hospice of the Valley so that she would have the best care available. After getting to know my mom, the staff fell in love with her because she was such a caring individual. When she was in the last few days of her life, the staff was so supportive of me and my family. They hugged us and said they would miss her. I would highly recommend Amber Creek Inn for memory care. I felt comfortable knowing she was getting the care she needed and I was able to visit with her instead of trying to meet all of her needs.

I didn't want my aunt placed anywhere else because I knew she would get the one on one care she would need. My aunt was there from 2020 to 2025 when she passed peacefully in December at Hands of Care. She was constantly surrounded by staff and her needs and wants were attended to 24/7. Even her hair and nail appointments which she insisted on having, which Anna would make sure she was taken to. Anna also made sure she was taken to all her doctor appointments and kept me updated on every detail of her appointments or my aunt's needs and wants. Mind you, I live out of state and I couldn't ask for a better place to have my aunt. She also considered everyone there as part of her family.

I don't know if they cleaned things up here and if the owners are now hands in.

The staff have always been friendly and helpful and the residents genuinely love living here. There is a variety of daily activities for those that want to participate, quality food onsite (all meals included), and plenty of additional amenities that help make living here super convenient. 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. I'm not sure if this will be "home" for the long term for my mom, but it has been perfect for the time being.

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.

When I'm old and need assisted living, Sunrise Assisted Living of Scottsdale is where I want to…read morelive. Have you checked out assisted living places recently? They're absolutely nothing like the nursing homes of days gone by. These places are lovely. Long gone are those grim nursing homes hallways with that distinctive "nursing home" smell and patients moaning out for help from their room. A few years ago, my mother-in-law needed assisted living. My husband and I performed an expensive search of places in the greater Phoenix area. All of them were surprisingly expensive. To help offset some of those costs, people are often eligible for VA assistance or long-term nursing care insurance policies. With the majority assisted living places costing about the same, we focused on the quality of lifestyle that could be provided for our loved one. Sunrise of Scottsdale offers many activities, live entertainment singers + dancers, theme parties, games, field trips, etc. They even offer afternoon happy hours with beer and wine and a few nibbles too. In addition to social activities, a complete kitchen staff caters to the resident's individual dietary needs and food preferences. Importantly, a medical nursing staff is always on the premises, with a physician on call and nearby. Residents are charged a monthly fee according to the level of assistance they need. For example, if a resident can take their own meds, bath and dress independently, that would be cheaper than someone who requires a higher level of care. Should the time come that your loved one needs even more supervised attention, the top (third) floor is dedicated to those with Alzheimer's and other conditions that require extra monitoring. The doors are locked for patient safety so they can't wander off, but the residents are always treated with dignity and kindness. My dear mother-in-law has lived in the independent assisted living area for about four years. She says it's the most beautiful and best place she's lived in her entire life. She tells her old friends that that she's "living in a mansion." Her bedroom suite is private and perfectly sized for a single occupant. Her suite contains a mini-kitchen with a small sink, microwave, and refrigerator. She doesn't really need the kitchenette because she eats her meals in the dining room. However, come to think of it, she does use her suite's mini-refrigerator to stash her whiskey and fun-size chocolate candy bars. Bad habits? Well, yes, but she's 90 years old for heaven's sakes, I think it's okay to cut her some slack.
