Thunderbird Senior Living

It's a nice facility with beautiful grounds for walking or just sitting and taking in nature. Lots of amenities offered, with a variety of activities for everyone. The Friday afternoon happy hour with entertainment is also a fun event. The dining room offers a variety of meals. The facility does need some updating, but was told that will come with time.

Response from the community

We are so happy to hear you enjoy the grounds, activities, and happy hour. Updates are planned as well!

[name removed] was great. Informative and helpful. Enjoyed the tour. Liked the ponds and pool. We should have requested a mealtime tour to better understand the options. We may be back.

Family Review of Thunderbird Sr Living

I give Thunderbird Senior Living a 5 out of 5 rating. It is an older facility that needs updating and management is continually working on making improvements. My cousin loves it there and his health has actually improved since moving there.

Definitely an easier process than expected

That's easy.... 5's across the board. During the unfortunate decision to have to place my mom in an assisted living facility, my family and I are very happy with the whole experience. From the very first visit and tour, to the current care she is receiving!! Everyone is always so caring and helpful..

Home Sweet Home

From the moment I was met at the front desk by [name removed], I knew this was the place for my mom. It just kept getting better. Everyone was friendly... staff and residents. [name removed] answered all my questions gave me a wonderful tour. She was not in a hurry and really spent time with me. I immediately made an appointment so my mom could see it. The restaurant is very accommodating and delicious! We immediately had my mom moved in that very weekend. I really can't say enough about it. Truly excellent
