McDowell Village

I would give a 5 on all categories. It was an amazing experience. My dad was only there for 4 months. Just well run and everyone who worked there, cared and were so kind. They are very organized and help you navigate through this process of putting a loved one in a home. They have everything down to a science.

Welcoming, friendly people, helpful when you need it. Lots of things to do, you can be busy from early am to night time. Mealtime people are friendly and courteous towards everyone. My seventh year at independent living.

After almost 7 years my friendships have remained, actually grown. This is a place that is a family. Staff, workers, and residents are all like family and it has a home atmosphere.

Staff is excellent. Food and service need improvement. Acitives are plentiful, could use more creative classes, such as ongoing painting and craft classes.

When my wife died as we moved in, the administration went about of the way to make sure I had all I needed including an apartment.

A wonderful place to live. Staff is wonderful. Food is good. Lots of activities. Exercise and children are delighted that I am here.

After visiting 8 or 9 communities, I divided Mcdowell Village was the place for me. That was 8.5 years ago and my decision would be the same today. It is a welcoming place with friendly residents, a responsive and excellent staff in all departments, and enough activities, including fitness classes to fill each day. There can be quiet time whenever you choose. A wide variety of foods come from very accommodating kitchen. Enjoy lovely large gardens and the Scottsdale senior center just across a courtyard; it offers educated interactions and stops for the free trolley line. McDowell Village is a safe, lovely place to live and enjoy!

I am very happy here I moved in [date removed] I have been here 5 years 7 months. I play bingo and go to happy house I have met a lot of residents in my life here.

I came from the U.K. 17 months ago as my family all live in Scottsdale. It's truly 1st class - even for a foreigner!

All the staff (mgmt, nursing, aides, servers, maintenance, etc) have been extremely professional and friendly. The facility is maintained well and very clean. They keep everyone informed of activities through monitors throughout the facility and fliers in the elevators. The activities and entertainment are both varied and excellent!

My mother has been a resident of McDowell village for 4 yrs. We have been so happy with the community. I recently interacted with [name removed]director of resident enrichment and her assistant [name removed]. They helped me connect to all the the calendars for dining, activities, bulletins, community, resources, and directories. They were a wealth of information for all the things happening in the community. They know the residents by name and there is a respect and bond among all. Mcdowell Village is a very special place.

I have been living at my home for 3 years. It has been a comfortable place to be in terms of my apartment and maintenance. Most important for me are the residents living with me. I am a very social person and like to see other happy friendly people and that pretty much is the case here. Do we have some people here that probably should be in another situation? That seems true, but it is normal to happen. It's not an issue. Family will recognize that. We have independent and assisted living that blend pretty well together. Many activities are available to us and outings. If you can't keep busy you're not trying. Staff is great and responsive to one's needs. Come to THE VILLAGE.

Well I love the activities , the pool and the gym and the music every weekend. The food used to be, I have been here 7 years and it used to be perfect. The food is not what it used to be but it’s still good. I still love this place.

Would certainly recommend McDowell Village to friends and family. I have been here a year and a half. I’ve been well recieved by the staff and residents. Even when having my 2 pets I was really glad by the attention my pets got.

This is my 6th year here I have nothing but praise for this place. The people and staff are really friendly. Of course there is a a exception but that make all the other one better. The food is good, a lot of activities I can stay busy from morning to evening.

First impression- people are everywhere! Residents, guests and staff are interacting, participating and smiling. My reason for being here- daily security and safety. Lock and leave when I travel. But bonus! Full service if I am unable to leave the campus. Entertainment, food and exercise!

This is a caring community. The staff and people are very friendly and helpful.

In most cases the staff goes above and beyond in trying to please. Very receptive to suggestions. Everyone cares about everyone. The administration got us through covid without any deaths.

Everyone has been very friendly and helpful. Everyone is very accommodating to my needs.

I am grateful for this community! The staff and the residents are so kind. I feel safe, loved and accepted. A true sense of loving community which is what everyone is looking for. The food, the fun and now family is 5 stars.
