Types of care available in Glendale, AZ
My loved one is currently a resident at Atria Park of Sierra Pointe. The staff are phenomenal, especially from a career perspective! The engaged life staff could use additional training for improved activities for the residents; but they have been responsive in specific requests, eg water aerobics. The food quality is good! It is common for residents to complain about having to season their food, or to say that it's not "the way I make it". The pricing/cost is high, but it is comparable to other places.
The facility was a good place. It was very clean. The staff wasn't extremely friendly at first, but they warmed up to us. Mom was a tough cookie, but they got to know her and took good care of her. We were very happy with the care she received here. Communication with the family was good, they called often. Housekeeping was great and her room was always very clean and smelled good. The food seemed ok. I would recommend them to family and friends.
My husband has been in residence for one year and I have been there almost every night to sit with him and put him to bed. For the last 11 weeks I have not been able to be with him and at first I thought know one could take my place. I do Skype him twice a day and he is very happy. I watch the back images and I see the wonderful staff showing love to the men and women in their care. They have done things they have never done before, like cutting hair, and I must say doing a very good job. The live music is still a big part and is happening due to technology. This is a loving place and also a happy place. They do not sit around all day but are active and having fun. They are safe due to the caring staff. We are kept up every night with the activities and are kept informed of their health situation. Thank you to all the loving staff.
