Stellar Senior Living

I toured Thunderbird Senior Living, it was a good tour experience and first impression. The gentleman who showed me around was very kind. I chose another community because I was not interested in the "apartment style" layout.

This has been a very good experience. I would consider going here myself. The staff have been very helpful for the family and our loved one. We have had a chance to eat meals with our loved ones, once a week. The kitchen staff and other staff welcome us and it is wonderful. The other residents are very friendly. The community has lots of activities available for the residents to choose from.

Thunderbird has a very well run independent living program. They respect the resident's privacy. Most maintenance issues are dealt with quickly. Medical and safety considerations are provided, but at the independent living it is at the discretion for the residents use. This can be concerning for me, as if my loved knew their restrictions they may not be in the community. The independent living services allow them to stay there and still live independently. They have transportation available for the residents to use for doctor appointments. They do allow pets, I wish there was more space for pets within the courtyard. The outside open space is large and can sometime be too hot for the residents and they may not realize this until it is too late. Meals seem to take a little longer due to shortage of staff; however, the staff they have is phenomal. The food is fantastic that is provided. We choose this community due to the continuing care available at the community. I would recommend the community to others.

My husband and I have been here for about [dates removed] and it has been an adjustment coming from a nice big house, but everybody so far has been extremely nice. The meals and dining service is great, and they have a lot of activities. We have not been able to do a lot yet but we do go to bingo, we do check out the exercise classes and take advantage of their pool.

I am not sure that the lady who does the actual assessment on the residents was listening to me. It was kind of degrading and we were not very comfortable with it. I think she could have been nicer through that whole process, but that is really the only negative I have. The place is exceptional, the food is amazing, and the staff has been great. It is beautiful and clean and the price was very reasonable especially for what you get.

My tour at The Springs of Scottsdale was okay. It was a little bit of an older building, probably from the 70s or 80s. And they did not have washer/dryers in the apartments, which was a non-negotiable for me. I just liked the layout and location a little less than the place I chose.

Villa de San Antonio was a very nice property, although a little on the older side. But the people there were wonderful. My loved one and I both liked it. It just didn’t quite compare to the place we chose. It was not as updated yet it was more expensive.

I moved in to Broadway Proper and it took a few days to realize this wasn't for me. There were too many people that were needing more assistance than I would need. It made for a chaotic time at meal times. I would recommend the community to others who's loved ones need more assisted living assistance. The staff were very friendly and nice to work with.

Our family had an in person tour and we really liked it, the tour guide was very good and very informative with everything they were showing us. They had their residents out of their rooms doing different things. They also have a really nice gathering room right in the front of the community.

Not as clean environment with smaller rooms and smaller hallways.

They were pretty good. I don't know about activities as my client did not partake. My client had some supplements and vitamins. The nursing staff did an excellent job handling all his needs. Of all the places I have been to as a caregiver and worked in as a contractor, I felt that they were 1 or 2 notches below the best. They are in between the best you will find and the average.

This has turned out to be a very nice place for my loved one to move to. My loved one has made friends here. There have been residents that left and came back because they missed the friendliness of the community. The staff are great to work with and are helpful. They quickly make changes to assist the family with their loved ones. The food has been a challenge; however, the food is getting better, and the community recently hired a new chef. Some of the activities available for the residents are choir, tai chi, yoga, arts and crafts, self improvement classes, and more for the residents to stay engaged with. There is a beauty salon on site that will allow for residents to get their hair and nails done.

This community was not in the best neighborhood and it is very hard to get to. It was just not the right community for our loved one.

Walking into this community it is very grand, it is so welcoming. Sometimes our concern is with the staffing and the turnover rate and being short handed but they are so attentive and helped our loved one transition from assisted living to memory care which we appreciated.

I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. My loved one likes the staff here and it seems they are really good to them. One of my loved ones favorite activities is bingo. The community has some additional activities to offer as well. There has been some lockdowns due to COVID in the past few months.

Right when you walk in, the community is very open, light and there is always someone there to greet you. You feel very welcomed right away and we would recommend this community to others. We like how our loved ones had a small kitchen in their apartment, it makes a big difference because it is more personable.

Our family had an in person tour and for the price and location it was just not going to work. It is somewhat an age in place community so the pricing is a little bit more. The community is a little older, but it is very well kept, the unit themselves seems like they really invested their money into them to make them comfortable. You can tell they keep up with any repairs that are needed.

I really liked Pacifica, it was in our top 3 choices. I got along with the director and she was very personable. It was a little more run down, but it had a great location.

We chose Thunderbird Senior Living because it was the best value for the money out of the ones that we looked into. They are very responsive and great with communication. Staff is always professional and caring. I would recommend to others looking.
