My wife died of "natural causes" at LiAnn's ca. 3:00AM. The "house doctor" Dr. Livi refused to sign the death certificate. He said, I could agree with him, he had nothing to do with h3er. It also had several errors. I have filed a document with the Attorney General of Arizona.

Care received was abominable. Staff showed no empathy or compassion. My brother was admitted after hospitalization with several critical health issues. He was diabetic and suffered renal failure. He was evaluated at admission and several troublesome wounds were noted. A care plan was written up, but the wounds were not adequately cleaned and treated. One became so seriously infected that it would have required surgery, had he not passed away before that could happen. Also, in the several days he was there, he never received a bath, despite many pleas from him and from me on his behalf. We were always told it would happen, but it never did. I would definitely not recommend this facility.

I visited this facilityReview of Gardens Care Senior Living

I liked it. The room was very nice, and the workers that they introduced me to were very friendly and said they hope I come back. My son liked it also. It gave me good vibes. The community was very nice, and the woman that took me around was young, very outgoing, friendly, and kissed me goodbye. They were very hospitable and warm. The apartments were very nice. The grounds were pretty and had a water fountain, a rock garden with flowers and a few statues, which I like.

My mom has been here for a little while now. It is clean, it has a slightly more upscale look to it, and it appears comfortable. The regular staff is fine, but there seems to be a communication barrier with the med tech staff. I have doctor's notes for specific times that medication needs to be given, but that is not being followed on a consistent basis. They're doing a good job with the food because they have a very good variety for people in that age group. My mom has never been much of a social person. There are a few things that she is really interested in. They try to get her involved in activities, but most of the time, she is not interested. They have music, bingo, cards, puzzles, and an exercise group. They have monthly activities, like if it is a Mother's Day or Father's Day they do stuff, and they celebrate people's birthdays.

I visited this facilityReview of Brookdale North Scottsdale

I went to Brookdale. I liked their set-up. Their rooms were smaller. The staff member who helped me was very good. Their plans and activities were comparable. They were a lot higher priced for what you get. You're getting a smaller room and a lesser outside area.

Attractions

With an impressive selection of museums and art galleries in Scottsdale, art and history lovers will never run out of things to do. Visitors to the Heard Museum North Scottsdale can view American Indian art while the Musical Instrument Museum is a must-see for all music lovers. Art enthusiasts are sure to enjoy wandering through the Scottsdale Arts District, most likely stopping in at the numerous galleries, antique shops and tantalizing restaurants.
While Scottsdale offers a vibrant and exciting city experience, one never forgets that this is the American Southwest and the surrounding desert landscape is bound to impress. The McDowell Sonoran Preserve consists of 21,400 acres of desert wildlife and vegetation, including cacti and wildflowers. The sunset views from this desert oasis are truly stunning and residents of Scottsdale independent living will likely want to catch this spectacle of color.

Senior Activities

The Scottsdale Senior Services offers a variety of resources and programs designed for older adults. This includes two senior centers: the Granite Reef and the Via Linda Senior Center. Residents of Scottsdale independent living can take part in recreational activities, a hiking club, card games, a lunch program and dances that are held twice a week and regularly attract over 100 seniors. Programs designed for older adults are also available at the Paiute Neighborhood Center; here, seniors can select from Friday night movie nights, potlucks, exercise classes and wellness workshops among many other activities.

Medical Facilities

The Scottsdale Healthcare Shea Medical Center is an award-winning hospital and medical research center. As a recipient of the Magnet hospital designation, it is recognized for providing top quality nursing care to its patients. Residents of Scottsdale independent living can be assured that this hospital is prepared to meet the needs of an aging population and offer, among its many departments, a certified heart attack and chest pain center, cardiology, oncology and a joint replacement center.

Transportation

Residents of Scottsdale independent living will find it easy to get where they want to go in this delightful city. Three trolley routes take residents through the downtown core and nearby neighbourhoods for no charge. Seniors will especially want to take note of the free “Neighborhood Trolley” which connects passengers to shopping, hospitals and medical centers, the City Center Mall (which includes a library) and the city’s senior centers. The Valley Metro bus system also offers bus service throughout Scottsdale, including to the Scottsdale Airport and downtown areas of both Scottsdale and Phoenix. Passengers pay a small fee for this service. Seniors get the best of both worlds when they choose to make their home in Scottsdale; it offers a lively downtown, complete with an impressive selection of restaurants, shops and galleries, but it also offers the beauty and peace of a desert setting. This is a city that truly delivers.
