The Ranch Estates at Scottsdale

I was at Ranch Estates yesterday and was really impressed. The new management team is incredibly kind and genuinely cares about their residents. You can feel the positive energy and warmth as soon as you walk in. It’s clear they’re committed to creating a welcoming, supportive environment.

I looked at so many places for my mom and finally found the Ranch Estates! Every employee has been wonderful. I don’t know how they hire such great people! She loves it here! The food, holiday decorating, entertainment and everything they offer is wonderful! She is so happy here which makes us very happy too! She was adamant she would never leave her condo, but was forced to due to a very bad fall. It was a blessing in disguise. She has made some dear friends, and loves all the employees. I wish I knew the names of everyone but a few that go above and beyond: Vanessa, Jodi, Aaron, Anna, the chef, Paola, all the servers, and so many more!

I first toured this facility a couple of years ago for my mom and have always wanted her to be able to move there. We were finally able to move her there this year and as a family WE ARE SO HAPPY! She has adjusted very well and loves it there thanks to the whole staff especially Ronda who handles the activities. Even through the shut down she has been very creative and able to offer activities that the residents really enjoy. My mom raves about the food and she's a tough critic :). The whole staff is awesome and truly cares about the people that live there. If you are looking at a facility for your loved one, you need to look no further as they are awesome! Update 10/25/2021 - My mom is still loving The Ranch Estates and is really liking all of the activities they offer like pottery, bingo, yoga, bible study, entertainment and dinner outings. She is so busy it's hard to track her down :)

After an exhaustive search, we picked Ranch Estates of Scottsdale to be my Mother's new home in October, 2022. Very happy with our decision! Every department—Administration, Wellness, Maintenance, Food Service, Activities and more have bent over backwards to insure my Mom's needs are taken care of. When the occasional issue pops up (things happen!) the staff is quick to communicate with me - and helps find a good solution. For us, this facility is just the right size—big enough to have lots of great activities and food choices—but small enough (about 100 residents) to insure that no one gets ignored. One of the most impressive things about the facility is how they strive to make it a warm, friendly, and caring community for all. Staff and residents take it upon themselves to foster friendships. If you visit Ranch Estates, you'll notice lots of happy people in the hallways, activity centers, dining room, entry area, and more. Speaking of activities - This place has lots of them! Weekly music performances (with snacks), Physical activity classes, arts and craft classes, games of all sorts, movies and presentations, religious studies, trips for shopping and entertainment, in-house shopping from independent vendors, and much more. Activities are happening every single day of the week. The wellness staff has been great about keeping up with my Mom's ever-changing needs. If they have any questions or concerns, they quickly let me know. Plus they have taken the time to really get to know my Mom—they are some excellent, caring people. I've had many meals with my Mom since she moved in to the facility. Lots of choices for a facility this size - plus I've had some excellent meals there. It's great that the dining room is open about 11 hours a day, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Many healthy alternatives on the menu plus traditional favorites. I've also noticed that staff turnover is much lower at Ranch Estates compared to many other similar facilities in the area. This is a real tribute to the wonderful administrative team - finding and keeping good people helps insure a happy environment for all.
