62 Independent Living near Facilities Vistancia, AZ. Page 3

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.

Everyone that we worked with at Sagewood Desert Willow was extremely friendly and engaged. We were assigned a move in coordinator who helped facilitate everything and provided the information we needed to move in. My loved one loves her housekeeper and the place is always very clean when we go visit. She has received great support medically and emotionally through the transition. She has made friends and is out doing things/attending events probably everyday. I absolutely would recommend this facility to others.

Staff is very caring very accommodating for special needs and always available to help. They're also very encouraging the resident I feel it could be more nutrition based foods, like more fresh veggies and fruit.
