The Park at Surprise
5.0

I am so sad that I have to leave my home at The Park at Surprise. I live in the 2bedroom den style on the 1st floor that is 1100 square feet I believe. My patio and windows face the pretty courtyard, they remind me of my travels in Europe. I am leaving bc my health has declined, I didn't want to bring caregivers into my home to prolong the short term time I have per my Doctor. My Daughter up north in Az wanted me closer to her and to be in a Assisted Living just in case. I understand that is what is needed, but its so bitter sweet. On the other hand, it is time. I have made so many friends here, staff and residents. When everyone on the web or in this building talks about how The Park is like a Family...well its because it really is. I have friends that live at other buildings like this, I visit frequent for Bridge games. This place place really does feel warm and welcoming. You feel safe, you feel valued. We are all honored by the staff but not on a pedestal, its just different here.

Solstice Senior Living at Sun City West

My mom is very happy there! The dining room manager is awesome! She spends time with each resident and makes sure they have what they need for their meal. They have lots of activities that covers a variety of interests for the residents. If you need the maintenance man, he comes up right away to take care of whatever you needed of him. My mom loves her apartment and her life there.

Everything has been great, there is a lady in management that really expresses true genuine care and that was something that really stood out to us. The only issues we are having is sometimes our loved one is not that thrilled with the meals.
