Recent reviews of Independent Living in La Fontana Heights, AZ
Legacy Village of Salt River in Scottsdale, AZ
4.0

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.

MorningStar at Arcadia in Phoenix, AZ
4.9

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 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.
