Mom was happy.

I would give them all a 5. But if I could rate higher, I would. Especially in 3,4 and 7. My mom's last weeks of her life. She had told me this was her favorite place to live. She had made some wonderful friends and and everyone adored her. She had thanked me for moving her there.

Review for Tucson Place at Ventana Canyon

I would recommend Tucson Place. They've weathered through a lot of the local higher management turnover the past 6 months, but the replacements have so far been exceptional. It's a safe and healthy place for a loved one.

Amazing

The building: When approached by the receptionist ([name removed]) he was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. When entering, residents are always around in common areas doing an activity or chatting. When moving my grandfather into the facility me and my sister were nervous because he was moving from home. My grandfather fits in just well, gets along with everyone and loves the activities. Having friendly residents and friendly staff makes me and my sister at peace with choosing this place for our grandfather. S

A home for Dad

My mother passed away in March 2022 and my father was depressed and unable to stay in his own home. We moved Dad into Tucson Place, Oct. 2023 and with their help, the transition was very smooth. My father is in the Memory care unit, and I have been very pleased with how well they treat and care for my father. His health has improved since being at there. The social activities, regular meals, memory exercises and good care are all part of the reason he is doing so well.

Friendly welcoming atmosphere

There is definitely a warm welcoming vibe from the time you're walking up to the front door to the time you leave the building. The concierge at the front desk is very customer service oriented and patient with the residents and families. I can’t say enough positive things about the staff there!
