My father in law has been living here for 3 years now and I couldn’t be happier with the place. They take such great care of their residents and always find fun activities to do with him. He has dementia but is physically stable so they find things for him to do around the house that makes him feel independent and capable. These little tasks are so important for him and really add to his happiness. They also take him on errands and treat him like family. It’s a beautiful home that is kept very clean. I highly recommend Carefree Assisted Living!!
My mother who has dementia has been here for 10 months and I can say that she is very well taken care of. The staff is awesome and the home is beautiful! Lots of big windows for natural sunlight. Can’t say enough good things about this group home as it has been a lifesaver for me. I never worry about my mom - ever. I know she is in great hands. 😊
My family and I were in search of an assisted living home for my father, somewhere that could provide the care that he needed. I wanted to ensure that the facility was compassionate and understanding of him having Parkinson's and his tendency to fall. The owner was super gracious in providing a tour of the home and, not only was he extremely caring, but his staff reflected that same demeanor. The rooms they provide are spacious, yet still provide the privacy that each individual needs so it doesn't feel like they are losing their independence. Would highly recommend it for those who need to ensure the safety and care of their loved ones.
Carefree Assisted Living deserves 5 stars. There is very little turnover in caregiving staff. This makes a big difference for residents as they really get to know each other. The house is kept very clean including the bathrooms. It’s very roomy and open creating an inviting gathering place in the main room. The rooms are roomy and bright and rooms have good closet space.
My 98-year old grandmother stayed at Carefree Assisted Living (Doc's Place) for 8 months following a fall and a miserable stay in a skilled nursing facility, and in her words "They brought her back to life." The facility itself is wonderful with a massive great room with high ceilings and a huge kitchen that lends itself to socialization. The staff are very good, and my grandmother was very complimentary to several of them, the care they took with her bathing, the day-to-day attention, and the food! She absolutely loved the cooking.
Some of the benefits of this place included exercise classes, social activities, pampering with manicures and pedicures, backyard conducive to bird-watching, massive TV in great room, and regular visits by a nurse practitioner to handle prescriptions and other miscellaneous medical issues. This ability for the facility to handle the routine medical issues was key for us given that we did not live in Arizona. Brie, the day-to-day manager, was absolutely fantastic in every way, and Josh, the owner, was also excellent to deal with on various business issues.
We ended up moving our grandmother after the 8 months so that she could be closer to us, and we had very mixed emotions given how well she did at Carefree as well as the relationships she developed there. It was an emotional farewell, to put it mildly. I would highly recommend Carefree and I am just very grateful for Brie, Josh, and the Carefree staff that really made my grandmother feel like home.
