Phoenix Senior Living

I would like to see, especially when a resident is new to a place, staff keeping an eye out and seeing that they are getting around okay and aren't getting lost. She has had a rough time learning her way around. We have had some issues with housekeeping and the thoroughness of the laundry. There have been some issues and confusion with billing, and timing of days, and charges. There have been minor falls, and no record of the incident. It's in a convenient location for our family, and we also think it's important not to make too many changes for our loved one, so we will continue to work with them, however there are some things that definitely need work.

This was probably one of my least favorite communities that I visited. The layout was a bit awkward and the staff didn't seem as engaged as the other communities. They were also offering some pretty large incentives which makes me wonder why they need to do this.

In general I think they do a good job at Morningside of Riverchase. The facility itself is clean, and the staff are friendly. Considering they are a fairly newly opened facility, they have some issues to work through. More activities should be planned for the residents, such as organized shopping day trips.

My parents lived there. The air conditioner was broken in the entry hall and the hall on which they lived from April till September, 2014. It was over 90 degrees and horrible working conditions for the employees and receptionist. We could not go sit in the front community area because of the heat when we visited. I asked numerous times about the AC and they kept saying they were getting it fixed - finally in September. That was 5 months of unbearable heat. I would not recommend this facility. The food is bad too. I regret not reporting them to the health department.

I came and toured here when I was looking around. I was not overly impressed. I didn't get the feeling when I walked in that this would be mom's home. I didn't think she would like it. When I walked in I got the feeling that I was interrupting them. I realize that they are busy, but I knew it wasn't the place for my mom. They weren't rude, they were nice, but I didn't get that we're glad you came feeling.

Visited. Where were residents? Hotel-lobby-ish .

I really have no major complaints about them, and up until recently, I would have given them a 4. Due to recent events, I'm beginning to think this may not be the best situation for my loved one, who is still very mentally capable. However, I have confidence in them. The staff are very cooperative and nice, and I hope this works out. It's a great place, and it just might not be the right place for my loved one.

Jasmine offered us a great tour. She's quite savvy and answered all of our questions. Overall we thought their Dementia care cost was a bit expensive. The feel of the Dementia care division reminded me of an average mental ward tucked in the basement of a well appointed hospital.

Smaller facility with only studio apartments; not what we are looking for at this time but we liked what we saw in the memory care unit and would definitely consider this should Mom's condition deteriorate where she needs this level of care.

It was nice but, very pricey. We were paying a lot extra for her care, but she was unkempt and they were not taking her to the bathroom often enough. Her clothes were dirty and they never washed them on time. There was a lot of turnover. The way they assessed the monthly fees were so complicated, I couldn't tell what the charges were for. If your people are able to care for themselves I give them a four, but if they need personal care assistance I would give them a two.

The one thing that stood out to me about this place was that they had shared bathrooms and I didn't like that

The halls were narrow and I didn't think the facility itself was as pleasant. I think, and I'm not sure, but I think their dementia patents might have been in the same building, a different area, but the same building as the assisted living and I didn't like that.

My mother was there for 5 years. The first two years it was really good and it just went downhill after that. There were 3 or 4 different owners and after the first on it was not good. My mother went without hot water in her room for 6 months. The were friendly but by the time were were moving my mother out it was not clean. Actually, her room was filthy when we moved her out. The new nurse there is pretty ignorant. The staff are told to speak only to the POA about the care. When I went in there to ask questions they wouldn't tell me anything. They said I had to call my brother. Another thing they did was serve them ice cream after every meal and my mother is diabetic!

Older facility. Built in 1994. Reminds me of a hotel or college dorm. Could use a paint job and new carpet. Rooms are rooming.

Quite big. Might be overwhelming.

This was a very clean place and the clients are a little older here but they have lots of activies.

This would be a good place for just my Dad. I think Mom is too independent to enjoy this type of atmosphere. It was lovely and a very nice atmosphere, but the level of care far exceeded what my mother needs. The accomodations were small for her.

Oaks at Dalton was a dump. Having driven by it in the area often, I didn't even want to see it, but my family did so I went along. The more I saw of it, the more I thought it was a dump.

There were some problems with medication. I would encourage people with loved ones moving into any community to give it a couple of months. There is such a shock and adjustment that even if they hate it at the beginning, just wait it out. The caregivers and the kitchen staff and the cooks were good they did a fine job. We had issues with the director and the administrator. It was clean and beautiful though.

Administration staff are helpful and friendly. Care staff are not very friendly, seem to be bothered when requests are made. Activities are posted but never see them being done. Rooms are not always clean and smell of urine. Safety concerns are not properly addressed.
