A great place for loved ones.

I have been very pleased with the care and compassion shown at Pennington Gardens. The staff is incredibly kind, patient, and understanding, especially when it comes to residents dealing with dementia-related challenges. While I wish my mom participated more in the many activities offered, I truly appreciate how encouraging and supportive the staff continues to be without making residents feel pressured. She is comfortable, well cared for, and enjoys coming out for meals each day. I would absolutely recommend Pennington Gardens to anyone looking for a caring and welcoming community for their loved one.

Nice Community

The staff has been helpful letting us know how mom was adjusting, and in the beginning, ut was very difficult. It took about 6 weeks for her to settle in and realize that Pennington Gardens was her new home. The food is mostly good. I think they have too much fried chicken and fish on the menu. Fried food isn't good for anyone. It seems like an easy way to provide a meal, but not provide the best nutrition. The activities director and staff are great as far as providing a variety of things to do. I wish they would knock on her door and give her a little push, to join the activities. Otherwise, she eats her meals in the dining room and goes back to her room or walks around the facility. Maybe create buddy groups to help with this. Overall, I'm happy with the community.

Great place

I moved my mom into Pennington gardens a little more than a year ago and she loves the community. I come to the community when I’m in town and always eat with mom and the food is great. I saw on facebook today the community posted pictures of the 4th of July celebration, it looked like everyone had a great time. I have recommended Pennington gardens to friends in Phoenix that are looking for an assisted living. If you’re considering it, you’ll love it.

Review for Pennington Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care

1. Unlike other communities, the food and drink options at Pennington Gardens are very diverse and tasty. 2. The holiday luncheons are festive and inviting. 3. Unlike other communities, Pennington Gardens is small enough that transportation to doctor appointments are always available. There's no competition for ride spots. 4. While the carpet on the downstairs hallways is a little dated, the apartments are very nice, and the two bedroom apartment is plenty spacious. 5. Pets are allowed, welcomed and loved by all the residents. There's a lovely outdoor park-like area to enjoy. 6. The staff are very nice and helpful. 7. The Resident Care Coordinator [name removed], is extremely knowledgeable and helpful ensuring the residents received medications at the appropriate times. 8. Dessert is served at lunch and dinner. 9. The facility has always been impeccably clean. 10. Trash (including empty boxes) is picked up from the hall immediately outside residents' doorways 7 days a week. 10. The response to family members' inquiries and concerns are immediately addressed. Please let me know if I can be of additional assistance.

Pennington Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care review

$[fee removed] per month for memory care. Not sure if that's a good value or not. Seemed high to us. I personally liked the assisted living side more than the memory care side. Other than that -- I don't have much to add. Hospice provided much of the care and updates not Pennington, so interaction was minimal.

Pennington Gardens - Hidden Gem!!

My mother in law has been to 5 assisted living communities and this one so far has been her and our favorite. [name removed] who we met with answered all of our questions and assisted with everything from hospice to the right room for mom and making sure it was tip top ready for her. PG is homey and charming inside and even smells good. They bake Otis Spunkmyer cookies for their residents every day, host fun activities, mom loves the food and the open airy high ceiling dining room. Her bathroom is spacious which was important to her being in wheelchair. All of staff have been over the top helpful, caring, resourceful and FUN! [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed]and our new hospice team from Suncrest have all made this transition 5-Star. PG does accept ALTCS patients if your loved one qualifies. We are private pay but if Mom outlives her money it’s good to know we still have a place for her that she considers home (and no other move is needed). 5-STAR experience so far!!!

Our Family's Experience

Our loved one is happy there which her happiness is the most important thing for us. She has made friends and enjoys the activities they have going on - although we do wish they had a little bit more physical activities. Now there are some areas of improvement - they are experiencing pretty high turnover's within their staff team which trickles down to the overall quality of care - especially the consistency regarding hygiene maintenance. However the staff they do have working there are very good and we know almost everyone on the staff team. They are very friendly and they do care. Anytime we have a concern and we bring it to their attention they get right on it. We do wish there was some clarity regarding who is in charge, that would be very beneficial for families and their loved ones.

Pennington Gardens was a well kept facility that looked to be nice. It was just seemed like nothing was different than where we were at before and we wanted something that stuck out. It was also more expensive than we wanted.

I was immediately turned off during our tour with Pennington Gardens. I felt like they were not listening to me, they immediately wanted to put my mom in the area where residents needed the most type of care and it was very institutional and that it not what my mom needed, she is still very independent.

Brother & I both like the facility. We thought the rooms were nice and the facility was well maintained. The location was good and close to both of our homes. Facility was clean. This remains a consideration for my mother to come and visit to seek her thoughts.

Comfortable Place for My Loved One

They were so very helpful with moving my loved one there. They have always been available to answer my questions, and help me in any way they can. They had a change of staff that was a little hiccup in her care, but after the new staff settled in, everything went back to being great. The facility is beautiful.

A great fit for our family

We chose this facility because of the overall look of the facility and the fact that most of their staff members had been here for a very long time. The administrator had been here for over 20 years and that really stuck out to us. The room sizes here are very nice, my mom has been in 2 different sizes and both were great for her needs. The dining room here is beautiful and the food is decent as well. Overall, it is a tough time for care facilities and we appreciate Pennington Gardens and they have done a great job.

Tips for evaluating your community options.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. 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.
