I Toured This Community

The community is more geared for assisted living and memory care residents rather than Independent Living. The dining wasn’t appealing and the menu wasn’t what we were looking for. The facility was clean, beautiful, and the people were very friendly. At the place we are at now we felt like we got more for our money than we would have if we picked Thunderbird and the rooms were smaller than we liked.

Thunderbird Senior Living Is The Most Like Home for My Mom

This has been an amazing experience for my loved one and family. My loved one was very happy living on their own and in their own home; however, has since settled in nicely into the community. There are lots of activities for the residents to participate in. There was no second choice after visiting Thunderbird Senior Living for our loved one.

Tour of Thunderbird

I toured Thunderbird Senior Living and in my opinion, it was too much walking. At the time, I was looking for my mom and stepdad. My mom never would've been able to walk that far and it would have been a long distance to the dining room and so forth for my stepdad with a cane.

Review for Thunderbird Senior Living

A Place For Mom made the entire process of moving my parents so much easier than if I had to do it myself. [name removed]was my hero. She really understood what I wanted for them and instantly started sending me information on senior living communities. She helped me schedule my tours and gave me her take on some of them. By working with [name removed] and A Place For Mom, I had a list and a plan and was able to find a new home for my parents in less than 4 weeks. Thunderbird Senior Living is providing my parents with community again.They moved from a small town where their circle of friends was shrinking. That, coupled with 2 years of pandemic, put them in a position where they were having trouble coping by themselves. I looked at several Senior communities and then went with them to tour my top 5. Thunderbird Senior Living was 3rd on my list, but went to the top for them. They liked the complex and the staff immediately. Thunderbird offers the community and social activities they were missing. I think they will be happy there for a long time.

Ideal Situation, Independent Living With Safety Nets

Thunderbird has a very well run independent living program. They respect the resident's privacy. Most maintenance issues are dealt with quickly. Medical and safety considerations are provided, but at the independent living it is at the discretion for the residents use. This can be concerning for me, as if my loved knew their restrictions they may not be in the community. The independent living services allow them to stay there and still live independently. They have transportation available for the residents to use for doctor appointments. They do allow pets, I wish there was more space for pets within the courtyard. The outside open space is large and can sometime be too hot for the residents and they may not realize this until it is too late. Meals seem to take a little longer due to shortage of staff; however, the staff they have is phenomal. The food is fantastic that is provided. We choose this community due to the continuing care available at the community. I would recommend the community to others.

a good place for dad and mom

Working with Thunderbird was great, but my parents found Thunderbird on their own before I even contacted A Place for Mom. It was probably partly thru checking out some of the recommendations from APFM that they realized Thunderbird was the place for them.

Don't Bother Looking Elsewhere!

I would recommend you come here immediately. This place is awesome! I really enjoy it to my surprise. I was able to meet a group of friends quickly and they have introduced me to other offerings the community has to offer. I totally fit in here. There are exercise classes, card games, board games, water aerobics, movie nights, and more for the residents to choose from. You have the option to stay busy all day from 9 am to 6 pm each day. The food is very decent, and it is not bland. There are menus to choose a selection off of to order. The staff in the dining room are awesome. The apartment, housekeeping, utilities, transportation, and all the meals are included in the monthly rate. The apartment has a full kitchen in it and there are rooms with ceiling fans in them. There are laundry facilities in the building.

Everything My Loved One Needs and Hopes For, Very Happy

I've been raving about Thunderbird Senior Living to others. The staff are on top of things. They acknowledge the residents by name. The activities they offer are wonderful. Housekeeping comes in and does a great job. My loved one doesn't have a complaint about the community, and it is so nice to see my loved one happy. Field trips, games, bingo, card games, dice games, swimming pool, shuffleboard, hot tub, courtyards with ducks, movie days, chorus, and more are some of the activities for the residents to choose from to participate in. They will do trips to the grocery store for the residents, and this is amazing for the residents that don't drive. The community will take the residents to doctor appointments as well. There are two meals offered a day. Breakfast is included, and then the residents can choose to eat lunch or dinner. The staff tell the residents to decorate and do what they want with their apartment, the resident has total freedom. The community honors veteran's and this was important to my loved one. They allow dogs in the community. The is a beautiful and bright community with fresh flowers. There is a small café that offers food and drinks for an additional fee. There is a patio area off the main lobby that the residents can use for BBQ. Each month they celebrate the month's birthdays with food on the patio from the BBQ. They go all out for holidays.

Great Place for Senior Living

This has turned out to be a very nice place for my loved one to move to. My loved one has made friends here. There have been residents that left and came back because they missed the friendliness of the community. The staff are great to work with and are helpful. They quickly make changes to assist the family with their loved ones. The food has been a challenge; however, the food is getting better, and the community recently hired a new chef. Some of the activities available for the residents are choir, tai chi, yoga, arts and crafts, self improvement classes, and more for the residents to stay engaged with. There is a beauty salon on site that will allow for residents to get their hair and nails done.

Costumer Service is crap

It is my grandmother who is currently living in the independent living section. She has been here over a year and I am seeing no improvement in regards to there response to requests made by my mom. They will wait days and even weeks to fulfill requests such as cleaning spots off the floor or replacing fallen blinds from the window. The most recent incident is that my grandmother vomited and had diarrhea all over her bathroom floor. We were promised by lady at the front desk in the morning to have it cleaned by the time we got back from the hospital. We came back tonight and it is still the way it was when the paramedics were here this morning.

My review of Thunderbird Senior Living

My mother was a resident of Thunderbird Senior Living for almost 19 years. When she first moved in, she was in independent living and enjoyed many activities and met many friends. She could have played Bridge everyday but chose one day a week She went on many excursions with Thunderbird transportation, sightseeing and trips to the Casinos. When she passed away she want to thank Thunderbird in the obituary.
