Independent Living in Glendale, Arizona

I like LifeStream at Thunderbird. I especially like the part where you don't have to share a bathroom with another resident, but you have to pay $350 more. The place was homey and it even had the little windows that were set so you could put little pretty things on the window. It's adorable. I thought that the staff was very accommodating, friendly and helpful. The residents were doing some crafts, and they were getting ready to practice some singing. They also have a music class with people teaching them different instruments.

At Glencroft Senior Living, you couldn't go from one point to another point without going outside and all your rooms exited to the outside like a motel. Plus the place was really old and not as well maintained as it could have been. The staff who gave me the tour was fine. We couldn't deal with the room where she has to walk outside, it wasn't good for an 80-year old woman. We had a salesperson walk us around who was very nice.

I love Westgate Village except for the cost. The residents were wonderful, and the staff was outstanding. The apartments were beautiful, and the facilities were nice. They even supply snacks for you. You don't need to do anything for yourself. The sales staff was wonderful, too. They had the exercise room, exercise classes, art classes, room that's just all for art, activities, library, massage person, beauty shop, and transportation. It's extremely comfortable when you go in, and you would feel very safe there. The food was delicious. If you need something special, the chef could do that for you. You could also have something off the menu. My husband ordered the chicken parmesan and it was huge and delicious. Their specials were amazing. They give you the perfect size for you and for what you need. If you need more, they will accommodate that.

We have chosen Glencroft Senior Living for my mother. We are thrilled with it. My mother really likes it. There are lots of phenomenal activities. The food is fantastic. We have seen their small store, post office, and beauty shop. She had her hair cut there already and she's gotten a pedicure done. They have two full restaurants and a bistro. They also have a swimming pool, indoor pool, and auditorium. They have amazing amenities.

The part of Brookdale North Glendale that we saw was beautiful and very well-maintained. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. The security appears to be excellent. A buzzer goes off every time somebody opens a door anywhere, so there were buzzers going off a lot. The staff was very vigilant because every time a buzzer goes off, somebody immediately attended to it. The place itself was very clean, beautifully-appointed, and lovely.
