Sunrise of Scottsdale
3.9

Most of the care givers and other residents here are really nice. The activities director is awesome and really good to work with but I do wish at times there were more activities that I would be interested in. Sometimes they do not have enough care givers here so the response time is slower, that could be a big improvement. I also wish they would listen to the residents more often at times.

Tuscany at McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale, AZ

This is an excellent community and experience for me. Overall attitude of everyone here has made it an excellent experience for me. This is a smaller community. The meals are from very good to excellent. The meals served are lunch and dinner. There are minimal activities outdoor due to it being a smaller community on smaller grounds. The staff communication is excellent. There is a full kitchen and washer and dryer in the apartment.
