Recent reviews of Memory Care in Surprise, AZ
Vineyard Park of Surprise
5.0

Such a beautiful community! The residents are so happy, they enjoy each other and all the activities. Wonderful staff! Thank you for taking such good care of them.

The Palazzo in Phoenix, AZ
4.0

The facility is undergoing extensive renovation now and there is a lot of turmoil. The staff seems afraid of it's own shadow. Management may be difficult. People seem unable to make appropriate decisions of their business on their own without obtaining "approval." The care staff, while competent, is difficult to understand. English is not their native language. I am relatively pleased with my overall experience. AND; the meals are acceptable to good.

Inspira Arrowhead by Cogir in Glendale, AZ
5.0

My Mother has been living at Inspira for almost a year and moving here has been one of the best decisions she has made. The staff and friendly residents she has met have created a loving and happy environment. The food, staff, facility, and programs have been outstanding. The care my Mother has received has been above and beyond what we were expecting. They always answer her call button and treat her like family. Thank you Inspira Arrowhead and staff for everything you do and your continuous care for my Mother! I highly recommend Inspira Arrowhead to anyone!
