7 Best Independent Living Communities in Nelson, AZ

This is a good community and it is a good value. The staff are very friendly and kind. My loved one was in the memory care and is moving over to the unassisted living and is excited to participate in more activities.

They have NP's for primary cares that do house visits as well as any other medical services such as X Ray, and Blood draws, they have transportation to appointments and shopping. Super clean facility. I do think that they need to buy better food that is of higher quality. Also, have more interesting outings. It is the cheapest place in Tucson that is in a nice neighborhood.

We moved our loved one to the Gardens at Blenham Elms from a larger Memory Care facility and are so happy with the decision to move her. She seems more at peace, the management is educated in dementia and doesn't blame the family when issues like agitation come up. They are patient, kind and work as a team. The move-in process was smooth and they worked to accommodate our schedule. They allowed us to move in our loved one's items and set up the room prior to moving her in to ease the transition. The staff is very kind and patient with the families and residents. The place is clean, neat and bright. It doesn't feel like a locked facility with all of the windows giving bright, natural light. They have a set schedule of rotating activities that families are welcome to attend. Our loved one's room is clean and tidy, and we appreciate that all linens are included. It's a small facility (up to 10 residents) and the care is 5:1. Because it is a small business, you receive good quality interactions with the managers and ongoing communications. You always know who to talk to and can text directly with them. They are responsive and will work with you to find solutions (unlike larger facilities that only care about the bottom line). Since it's a homey facility, residents can sit in the kitchen while the staff works and can even eat there.
