My loved one is currently a resident at Legacy Village of Salt River and overall this facility is a 4+!. The staff is good. Their responsiveness to issues is good. The food is good. Housekeeping is once a week and works well for the resident. The move in was stress free and they were very accommodating. My loved one is settling in and feels very safe and well cared for. I would recommend Legacy Village of Salt River to others.
Revel is warm and inviting. The Sales team is wonderful and goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable and heard. I love the family style atmosphere with all the other residents and it's a very classy place. There is always something fun to do here.
We are really happy with the Mountain Park Senior Living community and I am so glad mom is back here. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.
