A caring, homey place

Avista Sun City West is an excellent change from our previous facility experience. The staff is super communicative and lets us know how Dad is doing during the week and if anything is needed. They truly care about the residents and take care of them with respect and great attitudes. It feels like they are partners with us in going through Dad’s health journey and we appreciate the comfort that gives us.

our family experience

The rooms are nice and always clean, staff is friendly, food is decent. They just seem under staffed. I've seen residents struggle to feed themselves and nobody's around to offer assistance. And they sit everyone in a big living room setting with a TV and super bright lights. There's already a skylight which lets plenty of light in and they could turn off the harsh overhead chandelier, and it'd probably be easier on everyone's eyes. When we were first checking the facility out, we were told there would be some sort of physical or mental stimulation or activity. Just simple exercises a couple times a week such as lifting their arms or turning their head. Not only would it give them physical stimulation, but mental as well. There's none of that there. Overall, I would grade the facility a C+. If we hadn't been in such a rush and paid the required $3500 entrance fee, I would search for a more fitting facility.

Not a good facility

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Avista Sun City West Memory Care. The way my family and I were treated was very unprofessional and upsetting, especially during such an emotional and difficult time. Before moving my dad in, we were told certain things that gave us confidence in choosing this facility, but after he was there, many of those promises were not followed through with. Changes were made without proper communication or notice, and it felt like our concerns as a family were not being respected or heard. One of the biggest concerns was the pressure we felt to switch my dad to a hospice company that the facility preferred, even though we already had a hospice provider we trusted and wanted to continue with. During that process, we feel they took advantage of our family’s emotional state and the difficult situation we were facing to push for a decision that aligned with what they wanted rather than what our family believed was best for my dad.

Safe, Caring Community

My loved one really likes it here. I like that it is a smaller community, and that there is more one0on-one care from the staff. They will text, call, or post on Facebook about the residents. Trivia, games, art, news, morning walks, and more are activities available for the residents to choose from.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Memory Care. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Arizona’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Arizona’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
