Spectrum Retirement

Overall, it's a pretty good place. It's bright and cheery. It's hard to tell some things with Covid going on. I think their meals are pretty early. For instance, dinner starts at 5:00 and is over by 6:30, and I think it should go until 7:30 for people who like a later option. But overall it's a really nice place. Most people are super friendly. And it's nice and clean here.

I chose The Enclave because I saw it being built when I would drive by and it looked like a nice property. I have an apartment on the top floor and it overlooks the pool which is nice. I have a 2 bedroom apartment but it is a little on the smaller side. They do not cater to restricted diets. They are starting to add more activities in since the pandemic and hired an activities director. They do have trouble keeping a maintenance man so it takes a while for things to get done. I would possibly recommend to others looking.

I toured The Enclave and it was pricier than what I wanted. It was also multiple stories so you have to take an elevator, set up more like a hotel.

I like the community and would recommend the community to others. The grounds are kept up nice and it is a beautiful community. The community has casitas and there is typically a two hour ordeal if we go to the dining room to eat.

We toured Highpointe and is was a very nice facility in a busy location. The move in fee was a little high at the time that we were looking. They had elevators here and I was looking for a facility that was all one story, so we decided against this one.

Just OK. The entryway to the facility is at the bottom between two traffic lights and the traffic is excessive.

What really stood out to us in the beginning was how clean the community is and it is newer. There are a lot of windows that really bring in natural light. We have not been able to eat the meals ourselves but we do know the residents get 3 meals a day whether they eat in the dining room or have it delivered to their rooms.

Everything's been good except we're very disappointed with the food. What's offered doesn't coincide or align with elderly people and their diets. That's a lot of money to spend per month when my loved one refuses to eat the food. Everything is high in salt and fat, and fried, which doesn't work with managing high blood pressure through diet. There's really nothing except salad I suppose. As far as our loved one's care and their sensitivity and attention to her, that's all been good. And the facility is beautiful. But the food is just not good.

I had done the research on assisted living on behalf of my family, and I thought the two Spectrum communities (The Enclave and Mountain Park) were better than the others I looked into. They seemed to have a more caring and resident-first approach, as opposed to a profit-first approach. The staff at The Enclave is attentive. It's a well-run community. They seem to really care about my loved one. So we're pretty happy with it overall.

The community seems to be struggling with keeping staff especially with the dining service. Considering what we are paying for and their being no amenities we are not getting our moneys worth, the meals are spotty, the activities are spotty and the house keeping is spotty.

It is a brand new community. They make a big deal to make sure the staff call the resident's by their name. They have a lot of activities available for the residents to choose from. It is a very nice community and friendly. The place is well thought-out for seniors. Most of the apartments are around 600 square feet with 12 foot ceilings.

Everything is spotless and the staff are very nice and treat the residents with respect. I feel very comfortable here and they are being very careful with covid and have been good with keeping it out of the facility. They are starting to slowly open back up activities but being very careful about it. I have everything good to say about it and I am excited for it to get back to normal and things to open back up. I would definitely recommend them to others who are looking.

It is a good balance for the quality and money. The staff have been easy to work with. My loved one is satisfied with the food. It is adequate and fine. The community is new and very clean.

You have someone to check on you. You have staff on the weekends. They are well staffed. The chef cooks and if the menu isn't right, they would replace the meals at no charge. Everything was on point. The only drawback was the rent being too high for me. If I would have been able to pay the rent I would still be here. You have washer and dryers in the unit and you don't have to pay for the wash. They check on you day by day. The have security cameras in the parking lots. The doors are locked. They had a sign in and out sheets for the residents. The community provided hand sanitizer for guests and residents to use.

everyone is really friendly and the staff is easy to talk to. Communication could be better, return calls are not an issue but sometimes I have trouble getting ahold of someone at the front desk. You can put a phone in the residence room also. I would recommend this community to others based on my experence.

We chose Gardens at Ocotillo because it was newer and looked nicer and cleaner and it was also in a convenient location. The rooms here are also good sized compared to some others that we saw. They were in assisted living and I just felt like they did not get enough care here, but overall I would recommend to others looking.

This facility was clean and bright. Staff was friendly. We were looking for a studio but all they had was a 1-bedroom. This room will work while we wait for a studio. We do plan to sign the agreement. There is a $2500 fee deposit required which is only refundable for 30 days and before move-in. This fee goes toward building maintenance, not rent is is nonrefundable after move-in. The price includes breakfast only. it cost an additional $200/mo for each add'l daily meal per day.

Love the garden area, the facility was nice, secure and very clean. Staff was awesome.

The Enclave was very nice and expensive, you get a lot for your money here. I did not think they would have been able to meet our loved ones needs for memory care even though that is what the facility is advertised for.
