Assisted Living
My husband has been in residence for one year and I have been there almost every night to sit with him and put him to bed. For the last 11 weeks I have not been able to be with him and at first I thought know one could take my place. I do Skype him twice a day and he is very happy. I watch the back images and I see the wonderful staff showing love to the men and women in their care. They have done things they have never done before, like cutting hair, and I must say doing a very good job. The live music is still a big part and is happening due to technology. This is a loving place and also a happy place. They do not sit around all day but are active and having fun. They are safe due to the caring staff. We are kept up every night with the activities and are kept informed of their health situation. Thank you to all the loving staff.
The care my loved one is receiving is better than I could ask for. The caregivers are compassionate and loving. My loved one is receiving a lot of one on one care. Rodica is wonderful and definitely suits all of the patient's needs. The food they provide is good, but my loved one is not eating so they make her nutritious drinks.
My mother was only there a month and a half before she passed, but I was very pleased with my experience at Amber Creek. The administration was organized, and the nursing staff was wonderful - very caring and attentive to my mother. The facility was less expensive than what I was paying in WA state. I would recommend Amber Creek for families looking for good memory care in Scottsdale.
