Review for Sun City West Assisted Living and Memory Care
The Intake:
I give a 4 as there was a lot discussed, a lot of topics covered and most of those topics did come true once the papers were signed. [Name Removed] the head of sales, he really knows his business, is really willing to work with you and willing to answer questions. He will glaze over some touchy subjects and if you’re new to assisted living, you might not know to ask the questions. But overall, SCWAL is NOT a bait and switch, what you see is what you get.
Everyday Living:
The everyday living is a harder topic to rate, as it comes down to the individual’s willingness to participate in daily activities. I’m a very outgoing person and can talk to anyone, enjoy almost any situation as long as there are people to talk too. I give this place a solid 4. My mom (the resident) on the other hand, she’s more introverted and she has trouble dealing with a lot of people. For her, SCWAL is a 2.5 or 3. Again, this comes down to personalities.
They have daily activities and outings, so it’s not for a lack of activities, it’s a lack of getting people involved. Yes, they are adults and not children, you can’t force them to get involved like a teacher to a school child, but there is involvement missing.
Extra comments:
Overall Personal Perspective:
SCWAL is a very busy place, there are a lot of employees to help, but for those residents that need the extra bit, personality wise, it’s lacking. They do encourage interactions and the employees are wonderful, but the ability to cater to someone like my mom, they fall short. My mom spends almost 100% of her days in her room, except for bingo. This isn’t about giving suggestions, and I’m not qualified to give those, so I’ll leave it there. For the extrovert or A-type personalities, those people seem to thrive here. They do puzzles, they play games, listen to live music, go places with the groups, etc.
But there are not enough of these A-types to help encourage others. For example, the outing to the library, consists of 1 resident, every Wednesday, only 1. My mom loves books, but she never goes. I can take her to the library or book store and she’ll be happy, but not with SCWAL. I don’t know the reason, just my observation.
Restaurant:
My mom buys some food at the grocery stores or gets some food from the downstairs restaurant, but then eats upstairs. Her reasoning for not sitting in the restaurant, too many sick people. I’ve been with her and they might not be sick in the traditional way, but the coughing and sneezing is overwhelming with a percentage of the residents.
About 60% of the food is not great at the restaurant, there are some things they do get right, but if it’s meat, it’s going to be dry, sadly. I’ve had a bite here and there of my mom’s food and it is lacking, taste and quality. I get the lack of taste, due to people from all over, spice, pepper, salt levels are going to be different and the older crowd might be more sensitive. As for quality, I understand there is a budget they must maintain, but overall, the food is a 2 out of 5.
Activities:
There are lots of activities the seniors enjoy, some are a little too boring and repeated too often, but every day there are things to do/go to. The activity director is always wanting to get input from the families and overall, she does a good job. I wish my mom would get involved with some of them, but she won’t. If she had a companion or buddy, I think she would be more receptive, but to take that first step out the door herself, she won’t. I would rate the activities 4 out of 5. Sure, a lot of seniors can’t dance or get physical, but they try to accommodate as many people as possible.
Rooms and Common Spaces:
The rooms at SCWAL are nice. The rooms in general have been upgraded to what you would consider a modern-day apartment with wood flooring. The rooms are on the smaller side for most residents, but the people with money, their rooms are nice. The showers are lacking water pressure, but are always hot. The fridge is tiny and no choice of an upgrade, other than bring in your own. There is a restaurant downstairs, so you shouldn’t need to stock a full fridge, but as stated above, the restaurant is lacking. Overall, the rooms are nice, 4 out of 5
The 3rd floor common areas are also very nice, spacious, clean and well kept. The common kitchen is a nice touch with a full-sized fridge, oven and stove top. Nobody keeps things in the common fridge, but if you’re cooking, you can keep your cool stuff cold.
There are several areas to play games, puzzles or just kick back and relax on the sofa.
The 2nd floor has exercise equipment and a cozy theatre. The 2nd floor doesn’t seem as clean as the 3rd and I’m not sure why. Maybe more stuff? It also tends to stink a little more (touch on this down below).
The 1st floor is nice and welcome, with a little bar/play room area (Bingo, Happy Hour and birthdays), a large “family room” with a good amount of seating. The live music and other community events happen here. The restaurant is on the 1st floor.
The only real negative about the living areas are the smells. It is an assisted living facility and I guess understandable, but the stink of human feces and urine is really bad, a lot of times. They try to air out the rooms by opening the door to the hallways and the resident’s window, turning on a floor fan in the hallway, which I think is part of the problem. But the stink really lingers for a long time. All three floors suffer from this, but the 2nd floor tends to be more extreme.
The Staff:
Whoever hires the employees here, really knows what they are doing. The staff are not here just for a paycheck. They really seem to care about the residents. They really seem to enjoy most of their job. Maybe not the part that produces the bad smells (LOL), but they are always caring and seem to be in a good mood. The front receptionist, she’s a saint! She takes so much grumpy B.S. from the residents but keeps a smile on her face. I can’t say enough about the caring staff here. This also goes for the restaurant wait staff. They try to always have a smile on their face, even when someone’s temper flairs after eaten one to many bad meals.

Sun City West Assisted Living and Memory Care
The facility is almost always very clean, no weird or bad smells. Almost always, but sometimes they seem a little under staffed. I'm sure most assisted living places are like this, so I might be a little over critical.
A lot of the residents don't like the chicken, it's too dry, every time. There are a few other oddities that are not great, but most of the food is good and a couple residents we've spoken with have stated this is the best food at any assisted living place they've been too.
My mom doesn't eat there often, the small time-window for each meal means too many people have to eat at the same time. She sees a lot of sick people and doesn't feel comfortable sitting near someone with a cold, etc. This last part is more personal, the overall food is good.
=-=-=
My wife and I have joked that we would love to live here. The rooms are very nice, the staff are wonderful and the amenities are great. M,W,F Happy Hour, movie night every night, nickel bingo, etc. There are many things to do and [name removed] (the Activity Director) does an awesome job with the flow, no matter who's attending or their physical abilities.
We have interacted with the staff many times since my mom has moved in, they really are great people, very accommodating and always helpful. I think whoever hires the staff knows what they are doing. The personalities of the staff are not, this is only a job, clock in & out. The staff really does care.

Our experience
Sun city west assisted living was awesome from the initial visit I made, to the second tour with my mom and aunt. The staff was very professional. My mom has lived there since August and is very happy. The food is much better than any other senior living community she has lived in with and has healthy options. There are a lot of activities she participates in. The care and support with medication management has been great too. Her health conditions are stabilizing. The common areas are well maintained (often with seasonal decor) and they frequently have cookies baking when you walk in which makes a lovely inviting atmosphere. We would most definitely recommend this community to other families based on the experience so far.

Assisted Living & Memory Care for Peace of Mind
My father was a resident of Sun City West Assisted Living in that section for a short time and then in their Memory Care section. At all times, I found ALL of the staff to be not only professional but also very caring, knowledgeable, and flexible. They go out of their way to provide good food and entertainment and activities for their residents. They communicated everything I could possibly need to know about my father while he lived there. When my father was getting close to passing, they were especially thoughtful and respectful and caring, which helped so much at that difficult time. I found the facility to be clean and quite pleasant. I highly recommend it!

Generally I am happy with the facility. The people who work there are very nice and cheerful. The place is clean. They have decent activities. They only provide transportation for residents twice a week, I think it should be more. There is a lot of staff turnover, from nursing director, and executive director to the caregivers that help the residents. To me this is one real drawback.

Sun City West Assisted Living review
The main comment I have is that there has been a lot of turnover in staff in the time that my mom has been there, including executive director, head of nursing, and many of the caregivers. This is problematic for a number of reason and has a negative impact on the experience my mom is having.

Fine for Assisted Living, but not for Memory Care.
When we originally toured the facility, the staff were friendly, the residents were smiling and appeared well cared for. After touring 3 other places we decided Sun City West was our best option, even knowing that it was a private facility that Medicare wouldn’t pay for. Even being aware that our father’s Alzheimer’s would progress and he would eventually need memory care, we still felt this was the best of all options. Dad made friends with several residents quickly, one woman was from Russia and she led a group of people who liked to walk. Dad walked every day for years so he fit right in.
Within 2 months there were staff changes, and then dad had a stroke. This quickly propelled him to the next stage of his illness and he needed memory care. Their memory care are was closed off and very small. They did not have any activities for them to do besides watch television in the common area. They were always short-staffed. Most care givers were friendly and helpful, but we could see and the stress they were under. Dad did not do well there. He got Covid as many other residents did, it couldn’t be helped. But he also got infections because he was not being cleaned properly. We live an hour away and we would drive over several times a week to clean his room and bathe him. When we could see the situation was not improving, we started looking for another care home.

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.

A Place for Mom has scored Sun City West Assisted Living 9.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score. We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care. Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
