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.
The place is well run and very nice. I feel comfortable leaving my wife there. It is a little pricey, but generally first-class. They really seem to operate as a caring family. It's definitely a place that people should check out.
The grounds are pretty And well maintained. Staff Is very customer oriented. On site management is the valley is very corporate oriented Not resident oriented. They use corporate Ask excuse for not listening to suggestions from the residents. Meals are planned By home office Not by local staff. Dishes. That work in Minnesota don't necessarily work in Arizona, particularly The balance of nutrition required down In Arizona. A few of the managers have been PETER PRINCIPLED. AND IN DIRE NEED OF TRAINING. Including the site executive director. Many Processes are broken. It would not take a lot of money to fix the issues. It would take reevaluation , reevaluation and training on process Coupled With input from the residents. In summary. They keep telling us that this is our home. But for most of us , we feel as if we are living in an institution.
