A great community
The staff members would be a 10 out of 10, they are just wonderful. The sales lady we worked with was extremely helpful, she really bent over backwards to accommodating our loved one with anything he needed. Being out of state I could not take him to the tour, so she sent a bus to the hotel he was staying at and took him on the tour herself and gave him lunch. The activities are starting back up, and from the food we have seen it looks and smells really good. For those who are out of state, this community is right next to a bunch of fast food restaurants, a Walmart and VA hospital.

My experience at Echelon of Tucson
There is a lack of communication between the staff and the people who live here. There's no follow-up. They don't even have a map to tell you what building is what. I find it interesting you can look at a brochure for an apartment to see a map of the property, but not here. They say they want to take care of a problem, but the food is horrible. And I'm not the only one to say that. It's hard when they serve three meals a day but I can't eat any of it because it's so bad. They don't have fresh stuff. It's all frozen. There's supposed to be a full kitchen staff, with a chef and a sous chef, which they don't have. It's a bunch of teenagers that deliver it, and half the time it's wrong. It's terrible, and there's hardly any alternatives. But you shouldn't even have to look at the alternatives. You should be able to eat the first thing they cook. The activities director is really good though. She plans activities and puts them in the newsletter, and she's open to suggestions. She's acted on the suggestions we've made. She's really good. I like the coffee thing on Tuesdays. It's nice to get together with everybody. And we have happy hour on Thursdays, and it's nice to get together and hang out an drink. Who doesn't want to do that? The maid that was here for 30 years quit. The new person had only been here a couple of weeks and quit. Now I'm not even sure if they have anyone. And the staff hasn't kept us in the loop. You have to go down there to ask. And then they may not even give you the right answer. They also don't always get your meal requests to the kitchen either. It's things like that that are frustrating. They hire people who are inexperienced, and it shows. I'm not sure what their method is, but if you're doing something wrong, I'm not sure if they're communicating it to each other to keep it from happening again. For the most part, I like my apartment, the people that live here, and the things that I do. I've decided I'm going to try not to complain about the food anymore and rely more on the alternative menu. And if that doesn't work out, then I would consider doing something different with my living situation.

The cleanliness of the community is great, and the staff members are great. They all know us by name, and during COVID they have shut down the dining room. We do get a menu on Saturday's and we can choose what we want and they bring it to our rooms. Pre COVID the activities were fantastic, we would took day trips to the museums and visit different restaurants. Echelon has been taking really good care of us.

We have been living at Echelon for 3 years. We love the staff because they care about our needs. Our apartment is spacious and comfortable. We have cleaning service every week. Our meals at the present are delivered to our apartment. We get a weekly menu to make choices for our meals. I love our covered walkways, so regardless of the weather we are protected. I would recommend it for anyone who is looking to have others around . We did have trips to all the sights in Tucson and restaurants on Fridays. Of course these should continue when allowed due to the pandemic. I feel that it is a pleasure to live here.
