Stellar Senior Living

A good experience all around

We could not be happier with Emeritus at Bear Creek. As soon as my sister and I walked in the door, we were almost positive that we had found the perfect place for our father. Once we had completed the tour, our mind was made up. We were able to put a deposit on a lovely assisted living apartment and make arrangements for Dad to start out in skilled care so he could acclimate to the change in altitude. Everyone has been wonderful and they treat him like family. He will be able to transition from skilled care to assisted living without leaving the building. The food is excellent and he is able to enjoy a glass of wine with his meals if he chooses. There is a very diverse mix of residents and a large number of men so he will have some partners in crime. I would recommend Emeritus at Bear Creek to anyone with a family member that needs care whether it be a bit of assistance or skilled nursing.

This looks like the best place so far. It's close to us so we can visit daily.

Wonderful views, nice size rooms. If visit as respite, may waive part/all of community fee to keep you. Nice porches and sun room. Nice snack room on each floor. Pretty entryway for each room. Hummingbird feeders in summer.

My father-in-law lived at Lincoln Court. We toured the community with Matthew Johnson before moving in. He was very considerate and friendly to us. He made Dad feel right at home from our first visit. Once Dad decided to go ahead and make the move Matthew came to our home with some gifts for Dad to welcome him. They were so well fitted to Dad's likes and needs. We were all very impressed with that. The community was clean and friendly. The staff and the residents all made Dad feel welcome and at home. He truly enjoyed living there. They made his final days happy and secure. We appreciate so much all they did for us and Dad.

They are wonderful. They stay on top of things and pay attention. They communicate effectively with the family and residents. She has her own studio. Our family is very happy with the community.

After experiencing pneumonia and another unrelated infection resulting in delirium and a hospital stay, my father's dementia accelerated to the point that he could no longer live independently. After visiting many facilities, my brother and I took a tour of Emeritus at Bear Creek and knew immediately that this was the place for our father. Rami Stoner. Community Relations Director, was a wealth of information. She patiently answered our questions and provided information related to their services. While giving us a tour of the building, she greeted the residents by name, and they all seemed so friendly and well cared for. The facility itself was clean, bright, cheerful, and just smelled like home! Each employee and resident we met greeted us and made us feel welcome. Our father is currently residing in a spacious studio apartment. Daniel Gerson, the Dining Services Director, placed my father at a table with five other gentleman to ensure he would have socialization opportunities at each meal. Daniel also makes it a point to to come out in the dining room to greet the guests and to make sure they are enjoying their meal. Our family has been so pleased with the personal attention my father is receiving. He truly is treated like part of the Emeritus family. I, along with my whole family, highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a place where their loved one will receive excellent care and be treated with dignity.

The gardens of the community is just great and I loved seeing residents working the garden when I was visiting the food Chef Brennan makes is so tasty and I loved that he came out into the dining room to meet me. The executive Director Michelle has been at the community for 20 years!! The apartments are very large and have been updated. The staff is warm and friendly. I love that the dining room is open from 7AM - 7PM!!

It was actualyl really good and I loved this facility; I'm partial to them but they don't do day stays. My dad was in there full time and it was amazing. He got physical therapy, occupational therapy.... he went in in a wheelchair not knowing very much at all because he had a large seizure; he was very scared the first couple of days and they worked with me and my daughter and my father and he came out barely using a walker and wanting to go back and visit, they did a lot for his morale. They had really amazing meals, I wasn't upset having our meals there instead of going out to eat. I would absolutely suggest them. He doesn't have long term care so we had to pay out of pocket but I would find a way to make it happen if he needed to go back.

Thunderbird Retirement Resort is just perfect; it is the most amazing place I could have imagined living in. I absolutely feel at home. They offer so many activities from dancing classes, musicians to anything else you can imagine. The staff here is just amazing, no one has ever acted like you are bothering them when you ask for something or bring something up. The entire staff is hands on and willing to help to include the executive director, I saw the executive director helping the staff set up chairs for the community. Everyone just seems to love what they do. The apartments are very nice and it is just a beautiful community. It is really more like a 4 or 5 star hotel. I would highly recommend this community to anyone. I just can't say enough good things about it.

We chose Winslow Court because it was within budget. It is a very nice community recently brought and it keeps improving. They offered us the best bang for the buck. There is some big remodeling going on they are installing wireless network, indoor movie theatre, ice cream parlor and a lot more. My loved one is very very happy here and we would highly recommend it to anyone.

Overall, 5 of 5. The staff and the facilty made the Broadway stand out from the others we toured. The service has had issues with aides coming in promptly when my mother's been dressing and then there are some problems in communication. Other than that their care service is easily 4 out of 5 stars.

We toured 4 facilities in the Phoenix area and Thunderbird was by far the best -and the best value. We interacted with several of the staff and all were so friendly, professional, and caring. The maintenance staff was terrific getting drapery rods, bedside lamps and pictures hung. We stayed in one of the guest suites for 5 days, getting the folks moved in, and dined with them in the dining room. A great way to get a feel for Thunderbird and its amenities. Mom is looking forward to water aerobics and playing bridge with the ladies she has met. And Dad is looking forward to shooting pool with some of the other men and he especially enjoys the food. Shuttle service to nearby doctors, groceries and other stores will give them the mobility and independence they still want. They're happy in their new home. We're happy to have found Thunderbird!

i contacted numerous assisted living communities in Prescott for my mom in Oct. The Granite Gate staff was most responsive and helpful. While my dad isn't ready to make the decision yet, the staff contacts me on a regular basis to ask how they are doing. One of staff members (Sharon) lives in the same neighborhood as my mom and dad and she has even stopped by their house to bring them dinner! The resident nurse, Mary Ellen has evaluated my mom to determine the level of care that she would need so we can be best prepared when we move her. We have looked at several of the assisted living apt models and learned a lot about the activities and services. We have stopped by on five occassions and the place is positively clean and beautiful every time. The residents seem happy and active and the staff is welcoming and friendly. I can't imagine a better environment for my mom.

My mom really liked this facility. Kimberly was really nice. My mom especially liked the two bedroom. There wasn't Wi-Fi yet but they have upgrades going in. The residents remarked to her how much they loved their home there. The gardens are beautiful. The facility felt homey to my mom

Nice but very large. May be overwhelming for mom.

A beautiful and well run facility. I was very impressed with the staff and the care of the folks that were there.

Second choice so far, budget concerns keep this one on the list

Liked real well.

This property provided more of what I have been looking for for my dad. The staff is very aware of what is going on with the residents without interfering with their independant lifestyle. I liked the room and the overall look of the property. I really enjoyed meeting the other folks. The fact that they will take my dad to the church he used to attend was a big plus.
