Recent reviews of Assisted Living in Surprise, AZ
Constant Care in Phoenix, AZ
5.0

We chose Constant Care because the house itself was beautiful and small, there were only like 5 residents there. It is also by the VA so it is a good location for veterans. The minute our loved one got dropped off they bathed him, cleaned him up, shaved him and he was very comfortable. They take great care of their residents, I would rate the quality of care much higher if I could. I would highly recommend them to others looking.

Ridge at The Stratford in Phoenix, AZ
4.8

Staff is very caring very accommodating for special needs and always available to help. They're also very encouraging the resident I feel it could be more nutrition based foods, like more fresh veggies and fruit.

The Terraces of Phoenix
5.0

Dad is here currently and things have been good. Everyone seems pretty nice and he gets along well with the other residents. The staff seems to be able to answer any questions that I have and they take good care of him. Their food, however, is adequate according to my dad. Their salad bar is good and they seem to have a few different options to choose from. They offer a few activities like happy hours once a week, they have entertainers that will come in and sing or play for the residents, and there’s a sitting exercise class that he participates in. The facility is kept very clean and housekeeping comes by every day to make his bed. They clean the carpet every day so it always looks nice. They offer memory care here as well so Dad doesn’t have to move to a different facility when his needs grow. The independent living side has a buy-in option and it offers a garage, just like a house.
