My mother was only there for two weeks. She had hospice care for that time. She never ate meals or interacted with any of the other residents. The length of time that my mother was there. I was there a good portion of the day. I feel that can't tell much about the food smelled good. Look good. The location for me was great and [name removed] I think her name is [name removed] The manager was wonderful and went out of her way to help because we were on a crunch to find a place for my mother under the circumstances, there are very few places that take someone with a catheter. She had no problem with having that, and the staff took care of it. Great. The ladies who lived there and the one gentleman seem to like their and we're very friendly and sweet. The home that my mother was in was very nice. I am so sorry that she wasn't able to appreciate it. She was at that point where she just turned everybody off Kind of didn't wanna talk. Didn't wanna interact at all. I hope this helps but I do feel that it is a nice place for people to go, and the price was decent under the circumstances. She needed a little bit more care and we did have hospice come in and they took care of most of everything.

My mom has been at Park Senior Villas in Tucson for several months so far. We visited many facilities in the area and It is overwhelming! Park Senior Villas met our expectations. Small number of people in a home like setting. Family setting for meals, meals are cooked by caregivers. (residences are eating together for their 3 meals), not isolated. Clean and well taken care facility. I am informed of any medication changes or illnesses that my mom may need or have. I realized I wasnt going to find a perfect place for my mom, but I got pretty close.

This is based off of our experience almost two years ago. I am not sure if things have changed. My father went in to the Villas at Houghton in July, and by February he had died. When he went in, he was able to do all his activities of daily living. Within seven months, he was in diapers and could not get out of bed. he fell several times without staff noticing he was not given his antibiotics as prescribed. They washed his cell phone three times which I had to replace and he never had water or his eyeglasses. I put a camera in his room so I could've observe him. There were a few times when I had to call staff and let them know that he had fallen. They took the camera out of his room and I had to fight to have it replaced. They finally replaced the camera. I visited my father every day, but it still was not enough to guarantee quality care. The facility was short staffed. They were supposed to have two adults per house with 10 patients. Many of the times there were only one adult and sometimes that one adult had to rotate between houses because they were so short staffed.

141 citations from Arizona department of health for the company. Any of the Park Senior villas are missing fingerprint cards, and CPR certifications. Owner and upper management do not care about elderly. Only money.

Dispensed medication incorrectly and inconsistently, never cleaned room or bathroom with fecal matter on toilet and dirty sink basin for 5 days, lost clothes and towels after”laundering” , Meals were not what was on ‘menu”. Never changed bed linens in 24days….I had to do that and had to request shower for my relative because caregiver said it “wasn’t her day to shower”. Caregivers came into room and “ teased my relative” ( a memory care resident) about her not knowing their names and making up names for themselves, staff would bring in their young children and sit on sofa on their phones, when I finally removed relative I discovered open sore on leg with drainage. Staff never addressed or acknowledged this. Absolutely abhorrent “care”.

Things started out terribly here for my dad. They just don't have enough staff to properly care for the residents. When I moved dad in, he was mobile and able to take care of his own basic care and hygiene needs himself. Within 2 months, he had declined significantly. He'd become bed ridden/wheelchair bound and was dehydrated, which led to health issues. I'm scared to think about what could have happened if I had not been there and been his advocate. It's a very small community and I, along with a couple of other families, really had to push and fight to get changes to start happening. But finally, they are. Dad is doing much better now. The food has improved. I will say, the house staff is very good. However, I would not recommend them to others. If I would have been able to move dad, I would have. I'm just glad things are starting to get better. It's so important to stay active in your loved one's care to make change and make sure things are happening the way you think they are and should be.

There is no complaints about the food. They have a lot of activites, which looks pretty goo. They have movies, wheel of fortune, arts, crafts, and exercising. It was the best value for the money. We picked this community because, I like the individual villas, which has up to 9 to 10 people, so it's a smaller community. I like the set-up. It's much quieter. Check it out. I would highly recommend.

This is a good community. It's close to home. They're a little understaffed right now, but they're working through it. Overall, we're happy with it.

This is the 4th LTC facility, my father has been a resident in. It is by far, the best facilty. They communicate extremely well and provide excellent care with compassion. We are so grateful.

We chose Park Senior Villas because of the competitive cost, the convenient location, and my brother did a drive by and everything looked good. We were also in a time crunch and they had availability quickly. Based off our short experience, I would recommend them.

I moved my father in to the Villas about a year ago. There has been continual difficulty with the level of care and constant staff turn over. There have been and are good staff but most don't stay. It is like starting from scratch with each change. I thought the concept of a smaller house rather than a large facility would be good for my dad but the only advantage so far has been that he doesn't get lost like he did in a larger building. The meals that I've seen are mostly bland and don't look appealing to me. My father doesn't complain but seeing the meals makes me sad. My father really enjoyed food and it is one of the few things that he can still enjoy. Overall I'm disappointed and overwhelmed trying to navigate managing his care. We've had private caregivers since day one at the Villas (in addition to almost daily visits by me in the beginning). I don't know what I'd do without them as they are the ones who prompt the staff (often) to make sure that his personal need are taken care of (teeth brushed, hearing aids in, CPAP is used and clean) and that he goes outside and does something every day. The staff in the house are kind to my dad and there are a few that have been amazing ([name removed]) who go above and beyond for him. I am very grateful for her and [name removed] and [name removed] (activities) as they have been consistent and very good to my dad. My experience this last year is that there is poor communication between staff at the Villas and poor communication with me as a family member. There is little to no accountability or follow through. I wish I had known it would be like this. I would not have moved my father to the Villas. I did not expect things to be perfect but I had thought it would get better not worse. I would be happy with adequate. Think twice before choosing the Villas at Houghton. It seems like the company president reads the reviews posted on this site. I can only hope that [name removed] can help me write a more positive follow-up review. I would love for him to reach out and help to make these last years of my dad's life better.

We felt welcome when we first walked in and only needed to tour 2 more facilities before we knew that the Villas was the one for our mom. She stayed there a little over a year. We were comfortable and did not have to worry. At 90 years old and with significant dementia, they took great care of her, helping with personal hygiene, meals, and making sure she could attend all the events. Her room was always tidy and clothes were clean and we stopped by often. The food was fresh and cooked in the building every day. The staff always called if they were concerned about something. The last 2 weeks of her life, the staff were very considerate and caring. I stayed with her in her room and they made sure to check on me, too. Even though she was mostly unconscious, every one of the staff stopped by at least once a day to spend a few minutes. I just can't say enough about the care she received in her building. All I can say is: Thank you for being there.

This was a nice informative tour. It was a locked facility so people couldn't wander off. It was a group of small homes with about 7 or 8 people in each home. The staff was so helpful to us and explained why it would be the place for them. Couples can't really go there it is just for individual people with memory loss.

I toured here and I really liked it. The tour was great and I loved the set up. I just found out some bad reviews about the place and didn't want to have any issues for my friend.

I toured many communities with one being The Villas at Houghton. They all had their advantages and disadvantages. This community was nice, the tour guide that took me around was knowable and friendly. It was a good experience, but not the best for my loved ones.

On my tour here I enjoyed moment seeing this is what we were looking for. The staff are loving with attentive care. After working hard and finding the right mixture of medication my husband is doing much better. I trusted everything they did and they genuinely cared. He is not interested in the activities available but he loves the meals. I ate with him fresh, natural, and dietitian recommended meals. They do a great job and it is personalized. I am thankful for them. As I recommend the community to friends, it is encouraging to hear good feedback about their experiences as well.

There is one thing the could improve on, in the unit my mom was in, there is kind of like a front, private dining room, and the air conditioning is really bad there, so it was always really hot. That was about the only negative thing though.
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:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Arizona regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Arizona regulations for Assisted Living.
