I've been a resident for 3 months. I wanted to go from rehab to home, but really wasn't up to being on my own. I came here very much not wanting to be in assisted living. Now 3 months in I can tell you this is a good, (no exceptional), place to be! What makes it exceptional is the staff! Every person I have come in contact with is wonderful, kind, genuinely caring. Every staff member will go above and beyond to ensure you know they are there to serve you and to exceed your expectations. There is a lot of heart and love given by the staff in every single area! I am so happy I came here. The other residents vary in age and needs. Everyone I have met has been delightful. I have never heard anyone say anything unkind about another person and everyone looks out for each other. It's a giant family

Traci Henderson was absolutely amazing. I called to schedule a tour and she was so extremely helpful. When we arrived, everyone in the community were welcoming. The Community was clean and fun to tour. Thank you Traci for showing us around the community and explaining how living in AL will benefit daily living. Shermaine Napier-

We just moved into inspirations of Tempe . The sales director Traci is amazing at her job. The ED Jannea came and gave a warm welcome and greeted me and my family in our new apartment home . Welcomed us to the new community told us her door is always open . She is here to serve. I have had the pleasure of meeting other residents at meals who spoke very highly of Jannea and the community. They are confident in her and the culture she brings. The nurse Erika has been Amazing and the staff on the floor are phenomenal. I am proud of my new home.

My mother recently became a resident at Inspirations of Tempe and I have nothing but praise for this facility. Mom has improved so much, enjoys every activity that is offered and has made many new friends. The staff is wonderful and are so caring. The meals are varied, well balanced, and very good.

Touring this community was absolutely amazing, from the residents, to the staff, the interior and exterior spaces held for their residents. I haven't seen senior living quite like this before. It's so intimate yet upscale there is such a balance between the care and the feel of home. The services they offer for my family member seemed to be just what I am looking for. I truly look forward to the next steps moving forward!

We visited a number of assisted living facilities for my mom and decided on Inspirations of Tempe due to the relatively reasonable cost (all inclusive), decent food, accommodations, cleanliness, and location. Unfortunately we were not aware of how understaffed they are. Do they not pay enough? Seems the temporary director gets paid decent as he is flown in from Colorado every other week and put up in Scottsdale hotels. In order to get assistance, residents use call buttons. The response time is not ideal—especially if someone needs help to get to the bathroom. If staff calls in sick there is no back up. Not sure why they don't bring in students from nursing schools that need hours for training. Additionally, there is an on site washer and dryer which I thought would be great to wash my mom's clothes since she deals with eczema and uses special detergent. Unfortunately the dryer doesn't work well. Apparently it's been like this since as least May! A facility like this can't afford to put in a working dryer? Hopefully improvements can be made.

I visit this community weekly as a vendor and every week I am greeted with a warm smile from either LaVerne or Kim who work in the front. The nursing staff here are always open and friendly whether its with a vendor, a family member, and or the residents. Whenever I am communicating with Robin, Sonia or anyone else in the nursing department they truly know the details of what is going on with their residents. The staff at Elmcroft of Tempe makes this community feel like its an extension of home.

After previewing 8 assisted living communities in Chandler and Gilbert, with a representative from a company referred by her skilled nursing facility, I did not feel as if any of them fit my mom, who was a very simple and down-to-earth lady. Many of the communities were new, big, and beautiful but...they were not places where I felt my mom would be at home in. I decided to do my own search and came across Elmcroft of Tempe. I scheduled a tour and we signed the contract before leaving that day. My husband and I knew that this was the place. The community is clean, comfortable, welcoming, easy for residents to navigate, and there are plenty of activities to participate in. Everyone - from the front desk, staff, caregivers, med techs, activities director etc. - were very caring and always receptive to my many questions, as this was all new territory to navigate. My mom needed full assist for most daily activities and we liked the pricing because it included that and was much less than what she would have paid at other communities we previewed. They try and seat residents for meals with others who have some similar backgrounds or interests and mom made several wonderful friends during her 17 months there. She passed away fairly suddenly in September 2019. I was out of the country, and wasnt able to be there, but was told by a staff member that there were caregivers checking on her regularly and one who didnt want to leave her side. That was comforting to me, knowing that she had people around her who cared. I would highly recommend this community.

I am a Tempe native and have known the Elmcroft community for years. Further, I have been in the senior care industry for 13 years. Epecially in the last couple of years, Elmcroft has done nothing short of impress me. They have amazing staff and the atmosphere when you walk around there feels like home. The food is amazing as well and they are a more affordable community with first class amenities. I love Elmcroft and what they do to help people

When I have discussed how to choose an assisted living facility on radio talk shows, people learn to look for the most important factor. Not the building, not the price, not the amenities, but rather the staff - especially caregivers. Caregivers are the most important people to residents in assisted living facilities. They are the ones who provide the physical care, emotional care and assistance. And when they also have compassion and dedication in the provision of care, an assisted living facility is transformed into a home. I was asked to be the interim executive director at Elmcroft and initially said no as the drive was over 100 miles a day across the valley. However, when I met the management team & staff, they were so impressive that I became the interim executive director. If you are looking for an assisted living facility, always look with all of your senses. Is the place clean? How does it smell? What sounds do you hear? And most importantly, how does the staff interact with residents, other staff and visitors? Tour Elmcroft and compare it with any place else. If you want big and extravagant, Elmcroft will not be for you. But if you want a place to call home, I believe you'll be very pleasantly surprised and happy with Elmcroft of Tempe.

Prior to moving to Elmcroft of Tempe, I have lived in five other senior living communities and 5 rehab hospitals, so my experience and expectations for senior living were very high. At the time of the move, Elmcroft became the smallest community Id ever called home. I wondered if Id ever fit myself and my remaining treasures in comfortably. And with that question in mind, I sat evaluating this new place only to realize, there is an intimacy to be found here that Id never before known in senior living. I love the size of the building, the size of the population, and the adequacy in staff. I have found here a converted effort to work as a team. The theme of We Do Things For One Another, is alive and well within and across departments and extends with graciousness to all my accidents and incidents. Ive never been this old before, so I had no idea how MUCH of that Id want and need. I am heard; I have a voice. My vitality is recognized, not marginalized. I have come home. Thank You.

My father moved to Elmcroft in May f 2018 shortly after my mother passed away. He llived there until he passed away in November 2018 at age 94. My wife and I were so happy that we found Elmcroft for my dad. Everything from his room , food and the facility itself was excellent. The entire staff made extra efforts to make him feel part of a community which he really needed. Sandi Spence Lewis from the first day di everything she could to make living there special for my dad. In the 6 months he lived there. He really had a new extended family. Mt dad truly loved her. In addition his room was always clean. When his health deteriorated the medical support was incredible. Robin Tollver, his nurse was truly amazing. In addition to coordinating her team and eventually hospice, the personal care, time and respect she showed my dad was beyond what we expected and was instrumental in he peace he felt at the nd of his life. I will be forever grateful to Elmcroft of Tempe and would recommend them in the strongest terms.

Six months ago, I moved our 91 year old mother into Elmcroft in Tempe. I visited a number of living centers in the community and found this one to be an exceptional fit. The Marketing Manager, Sandi, and the people we met prior to move in were extremely welcoming and informative. I am happy to say that after mom lived independently for 90 years she was welcomed with open arms and hearts into this community. The change wasn't easy at first after so many years of independent living however credit to all of the folks at Elmcroft she feels a part of the community and is doing well both physically and emotionally. The food is really good and the activity (daily, weekly, and seasonally) keep the residents busy and engaged. While senior living is not inexpensive I found the rates and amenities to be highly competitive. There were no hidden or sudden changes due to care level provided and the facility is well kept, clean and well managed. Thank you for taking such good care of my mom! RJB

We are truly Blessed to have Elmcroft of Tempe and their loving staff of professionals.

My 97 year-old father lived here for about 3 months prior to his recent death. He considered it home and was so happy they would allow him to stay there after a debilitating stroke, with the helpful assistance of Suncrest Hospice. The place is clean and attractive, the food is very good, and the supervisors and caregivers are kind and caring. The price is very competitive with other senior living facilities in that general area. I was able to contact the appropriate people with my concerns and resolve them quickly. It is not perfect, but for the price, I will give it 5 stars.

My first impression of Elmcroft Tempe was wow. The leadership team, care and ancillary staff are welcoming and friendly with great smiles. They take the time to listen and volunteer their assistance. A true benefit that represents the quality of professional care. The building and facility grounds are extremely clean and well-groomed. Meal plans provide a well rounded nutritional balance. I was impressed with the special programs provided to the residents. The residents appear to be very happy and pleased with their overall care provided in their home.

My father was at Elmcroft of Tempe for about a year. Elmcroft truly is a wonderful place for seniors who need assistance. It is very well maintained with wonderful, caring staff. The dining room and food were great. They took care of all of his needs, kept me informed and had many fun activities, including great holiday celebrations. I would wholeheartedly recommend Elmcroft of Tempe!

The difficult task of finding an assisted living facility for my parent was made much easier by the caring and supportive staff at Elmcroft-Tempe. From the clean, sunlight-filled lobby, to the multitude of activities available for residents, to the private apartments and access to healthcare, Elmcroft remains a welcoming and friendly place, offering peace of mind for my parent and for my family. We are so glad that my parent has found a comfortable new home.

I can't say enough about this place! From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by Laverne who is amazing, has been there for years, and treats the residents like family. The Executive Director Maureen adds so much positivity and has helped create such a warm and welcoming environment through her compassion for her residents and staff. Armina the chef holds meetings with the residents to get their input on the menu, her food is healthy and delicious! The Activities Director Jolee plans many fun activities to include all the residents and they have many events in which families can attend! I highly recommend Elmcroft of Tempe!

The staff at Elmcroft has provided a safe and stimulating environment for my mother the past 2 years. Many activities are offered throughout the day providing social interactions with other residents. The nutrition for residents is well planned and that has contributed to the physical health of my mom. The staff is respectful and treats the residents as family. Its a relief to know that your loved one is well cared for both mentally and physically.

My husband lived at Elmcroft Tempe for almost 3 years. We had him at another companys facility prior to Elmcroft. The other company was a nightmare for my husband. Elmcroft was a god-send. Bobby gained weight from your wonderful home made from scratch meals. He became happy and smiling from the kindness of the Elmcroft staff. The turnover of staff hardly exists. The head dietician has been there 16 years! I cant say enough about the goodness of the staff at Elmcroft in Tempe. The all inclusive price was half of the cost of other places like this. Thank you for caring for my husband with so much love. From. Marilyn in Tempe.

My wifes grandmother resided at Elmcroft for approximately eight months before she died. Her husband had passed two months before she moved in, so she was in a difficult transition in her life. At first, she was against it but the moment she laid eyes on the place she would call home, I visually saw her melt. Her living space had the dignity of the lifestyle to which she was accustomed. The staff was loving, nurturing and understanding of a woman having recently lost her husband of 50 years. Ive stayed in touch and am familiar with the current administration - it just keeps getting better! I would recommend this place to anyone.

A great place with many caring staff members! My mom was very happy living here for over 10 months and passed peacefully away on July 9, 2018. Robyn, the LPN, and Maureen, the Executive Director have truly been a blessing for ensuring that my moms personal needs were handled professionally. The food quality is high; much better than other assisted living care centers where my mom previously lived. Also, there is no nickel and diming you for added services. All charges are included in your monthly rent, including 3 meals per day. In this industry, no place is perfect; but Elmcrofts management responds quickly and is always open to suggestions from residents and family members.

I toured Elmcroft recently and was greeted with a warm welcome. The community was clean and smelled very nice. I noticed that the staff were helpful and courteous with the residents. My tour guide was cheerful, helpful and answered all my questions. I even had a chance to meet their new Executive Director, Maureen. She was very pleasant and made sure her staff was taking care of me. I would absolutely recommend Elmcroft of Tempe to anyone looking for senior living.

I toured the site the other day, and I have to say I was impressed. As a boy, I worked summers in a nursing home (quite large, about 200 residents), and I learned a little about it. I did not go into that field, but I cant unlearn what I learned. Some places I have seen are quite frightening when viewed from the lens of someone considering suggesting the place to a relative or friend. Not this place. The atmosphere was terrific, the place is clean, and the staff appeared to be friendly. I think the place is worth being on anybodys list.
