My father-in-law (95) has been a resident at Granite Gate for almost a year and is very happy there. My family has been continuously impressed by the quality of service provided at this facility. Every staff member knows his name, knows what he likes to eat, and most importantly, treats him with the utmost respect. At Granite Gate, they recognize that this is the resident's home and seem to do everything they can to make it feel that way. We could not be more pleased with Granite Gate.

I want to share my experience at Granite Gate SL (memory section) regarding two very special employees. Maria Marroquin and Terra Pearson, Maria and Terra demonstrated on a daily basic outstanding dedication to their jobs. These two employees are by far the most caring and dedicated people in the care giving field and my hat is off to these outstanding employees. They are an extreme asset to Granite Gate. It was an honor to know both of these outstanding individuals, you could not find more caring people.

My relatives made Granite Gate home for 6 years starting in Assisted Living and later moving to Memory Care. All of the staff gave them great care and always considered my loved ones individual needs. Since we don’t live nearby we appreciated the communication we received from the staff. Once in Memory Care Di’Anna’s team took over and continued the excellent, loving and life enriching care. We couldn’t have been happier!

I want to say that the Activity Director Dianna Hardel is amazing!!! No place have I been to that the activity director is so creative and sweet. I met her at a different facility and remained friends. She has helped me in my social services role at two separate facilities. She is smart, funny, calm, creative and I would recommend her to anyone. Granite Gate is lucky to have her!!!! This is a beautiful facility as well!!

We have been going to Granite Gate for over 3 years for Military luncheons. I can't say enough about their Chef, Josh. All of our meals were fantastic and if you are unable to eat what he has prepared, he goes out of his way to fix a special meal just for you. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. They have recently revamped the area, just is beautiful. I have also toured the facility and am impressed with the available rooms.

I love how positive and kind the staff at Granite Gate are whenever I meet with them. We have had some socially-distanced community events this year with their residents and have heard nothing but good things from the folks weve met. I know they are working extra hard this year to make sure all their residents feel supported and loved. Clarissa Venezia and Barbara Connors always go the extra mile to make things special! And you cant beat the beautiful Prescott scenery -- Im sure the views at sunset and sunrise are truly spectacular from the residents porches!

My wife and I came to Granite Gate Senior Living Community because our Granddaughter, who lives in Prescott, wanted us to be closer to her. When we first visited we loved the beautiful setting of the Granite Dells and the Grand Hotel style of the building. We have always enjoyed natural settings as we used to live in Delmar Beach area of San Diego, Ca. We loved hearing the ocean from our home.Our favorite thing about living here is that it is quiet. The food is good and they take great care of us. They keep our apartment nice and clean. The Activities staff work hard to keep us involved and active, particularly during Covid. They will come to get us to participate in Community events or activities. We have been here nine months and have enjoyed every day.

When it came time to retire from General Motors, my 81 year old self and I sold my farm in Michigan and began looking for a place to live in my Michigan home town areas....or in Prescott Arizona where my daughter lives. Of the many places I visited, Granite Gate began to stand out more and more and I ended up getting a tour and a half from a friendly, very informative staff. Granite Gate is not only an amazing facility...based on what used to be a top of the line Resort Hotel....but it also is in the final stages of complete remodeling. Remodeling of everything that is making it even more beautiful. Services that are particularly important to me include:Initial advice in Insurance are.In-Room Therapy Servicesin-Room Medicine service...dailyWeekly Room CleaningVery friendly Granite Gate StaffFriendly Residents all aroundExcellent Meals...Good varietyAmazing mountains start at the edge of the parking lot and soar upward into the sky. One of my favorite drawing projects has been to sketch the people and creature faces that have been carved into the mountain rocks by countless years of weather and quakes. Im very happy here since arrival April 2020. Looking forward to teaching Art Classes recently approved. Thank you Granite Gate for being there for me when I didnt know where to turn in my life....Granite Gate, Best Food Every Day Poem:My grandmother, motherMy aunts and my wife,Cooked and served best foodIn the first half of my life.Then there came a time wheIt was restaurants every daWhere if I searched hard enougThe food might be OThen in my eighty-first yeaAt a place I stopped and atefound the best foods every daAnd moved into Granite Gate

Yes, it was an easy decision for us.... my husband, Gordon, and I did our homework many years before retiring. We toured about every senior facility in the Prescott area. All had many good features, however, the one that we kept going back to year after year was Granite Gate. It had outstanding amenities which made our decision effortless.I was able to be by my husbands side through his last months, which was a true blessing to me. When the final day came, my son was able to be with me as well. He thought it best for me to return to California, my home state. After two weeks, I knew the place for me was my new home, Granite Gate Senior Living Community.Here I am after five years enjoying good service from the staff and good times with my friends!

I referred a client to Granite Gate that needed to begin LTC, they were very happy with touring the facility and happily enrolled his wife. Lots of activities. Newly remodeled. This is where I would place my Mom.

I have to admit when my mother first moved in we didnt know if we made the right move. Everyone kept telling me to give it some time, well we did and not only does Mom love it there, I do also! Everyone there is just so very nice and accommodating. All the caregivers are just wonderful and the residents as well. The food has been great. Sure there are days when they have things you dont like but your can order whatever you want all the time. You dont have to go off the specials. This has just turned out to be the best thing that Mom and I decided for her. What a weight off her shoulders and mine. She gets the extra help she needs, plus housekeeping and cooking and I get piece of mind knowing they are there to help her in any type of emergency she may need. LOVE IT.

My father recently moved into Granite Gate. The studio apartments are larger than any of the other facilities we checked out, with a patio and large sliding door that lets the light in. Thats significant when someone goes from a spacious home to an apartment. But, most importantly, hes receiving the social stimulation and physical activity that he really needed at this stage of his life. The staff knew his name before he even moved in, and they greet him with smiles. And, the food is exceptional! I sleep better knowing that hes with caring people in a safe and nurturing environment.

The staff is extremely courteous and helpful. I personally have worked closely with Kaitlyn and Annette and they have bent over backward to help and accommodate me when I needed help. They are an amazingly community partner.

As part of Horses with Hearts Marvelous Mini community outreach, several Horses with Heart volunteers presented a program at a Granite Gate event with 2 of our miniature horses. The residents and staff made us feel immediately welcome and could not have been more gracious. There was ample room for the residents to get hands-on with our minis and for our volunteers to mingle and visit with the staff and the residents and their guests. We hope this will be the beginning of a long relationship with Granite Gate!

I have lived at Granite Gate for 3 plus years and enthusiastically give this senior community five stars! The food is almost always excellent and the Chef is creative with recipes and seasonings. The caregivers are simply outstanding - they truly CARE about the residents - and are well trained and supervised. My husband was in the Memory Care Unit during the day for several months and the staff in that unit are deeply committed to their mission and I cant say enough positive things about the Units Director. And finally, the view cant be beat!!

A few weeks after I arrived at Granite Gate I wrote a review. At that time Iwas very impressed with the place. I am even more impressed now. Nowno place is perfect but this one comes close. This is my fourth senior living home in four years due to family moves. I have felt it is my home since pulling up late one evening after a journey of 882 miles. As soon as entered the door I was welcomed. The apartment was ready for me. Each person on staff I met was very welcoming. Dinner was better than any I had in the other places. The food is consistantly good. The choices are many and for the most part very tasty. Housekeeping does a great jobespecially keeping the common areas sparkling. As with any move thereare always a few things for maintenance to do and that is always promptly seen to. Transportation guys are always in an upbeat mood and so pleasant to be with. Im sure Ive left out many people Id like to thankor making my first six months almost perfect. I have no complaints. Ive told my family no more moves for me.

I have lived at Granite Gate for 4 1, 2 years and I will say it has been a very pleasant experience. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and I can truly tell you that there is no one of either the staff or residents that I could say I really dont care for them. They try to make special occasions really special and often serve very nice buffet luncheons. And if you have birthdays you wish to celebrate they are eager to help you do that. Before we moved here my daughter and husbands daughter searched the area and checked out available places for us and chose this one- we are very happy with their selection.

I was referred to Granite Gate by a friend. I subsequently referred my clients to this wonderful long term care property. Everyone was extremely caring and professional. I was very impressed by how well engaged the residents appeared to be as I observed activities, etc. I will refer others to Granite Gate.

This review is written by Susan Binkley. My Sister has lived at Granite Gates almost a year now..She was welcomed with a family-like atmosphere, warm and friendly..Her apartment was completely remodeled..great view of the boulders and cozy surroundings. She is very happy about the delicious meals she has each day. She was excited to make a ceramic ring holder..She was even more excited to know about happy hour with great music each Friday afternoon..she truly has many reasons to be happy as she struggles with dementia.I personally have made it my goal to get to know the staff as well as the residents by name and try to always greet them by name and compliments on a job well done.. Janis is the happiest she has been in a long time after surviving cancer and moving from the East coast..She has made many friends along with her little dog..Highly recommend Granite Gates after searching all over Prescott..Hands down the BEST!!

We really appreciate the personal approach to care that all the staff at Granite Gate give to our mom. She has been there for a few months now and consistently reports that all the food is delicious and everyone is so nice! Her room has a beautiful view, she loves having a fireplace, and her sweet kitty loves having a deck to enjoy the outside. After a stroke took away some of her independence several years ago, we are seeing her really perk up now that she can make her own arrangements to participate in the many activities on site. She takes advantage of the transportation services to go shopping, to go to the Y and to go to her long time hair stylist. Our whole family struggled with the transition of moving her from home to Granite Gate, but after checking our all the options, we feel really good that we made the right choice.

I am really impressed with all the staff. They are really caring, helpful, and thoughtful. When they know you are pleased, it pleases them. Though I still have concerns about the being more handicap accessible, overall I am contented to be here now.

This is the most beautiful location for a senior living facility. It is surrounded by hugh granite rock formations. The facilty is very nice with a communal living room, a library, a restaurant style dining room. The private rooms are very nice. As with all nicer senior facilities it is expensive and they raise the prices every year.

From the moment I arrived in 2012. I have known nothing but kindness, helpfulness, and friendliness. My daughter and grandson came here for lunch with Sharon over 6 years ago and they said mom, you need to come here. I have never regretted it.

Tamara,I just wanted to thank you and all of the staff at Granite Gate for all the wonderful care you gave to my father, Warren. I believe he truly felt of Granite Gate as his home, surrounded by his friends, in a lovely setting, and with caring attention lavished upon him. I called him every few days when I wasnt in Prescott and he constantly thanked me for finding him such a lovely place to live. This is as good as it gets! he would say. I was lucky in that for half of the year I lived nearby and often visited him there. I had many meals with him and we both found the dining room excellent. The food was wonderful, the service great, and of course being originally designed as a resort hotel it had a rather spectacular setting.I can honestly say I had never seen Warren happier than his last few years he spent living at Granite Gate. He was very social and relished the interaction he had in living with others. He took advantage of as many of the activities as he could, the exercise classes, the library, and participated in the residents council. He had a lovely room too, with an amazing view of the Granite Dells, which he found a really fascinating setting. When Warren required more care, the nurses there provided everything he needed, which made me gain trust in the whole institution. I have had experience with other retirement communities in my immediate family. Some cost more, some cost less, but no organization I have seen has done a better job in caring for seniors and providing a positive living experience. Ill miss him, but I will never forget everything all of you did for him. Thank you and all of the staff there for your care and friendship you gave to Warren.Chris Smith
