If you’re looking for a beautiful home with loving and caring staff, this is the place. I could tell immediately that my loved one was in the best of hands. Ownership and staff continue to impress me with their professionalism and kindness. They are so attentive, thoughtful, and exhibit so much compassion for their residents and their families. Anthem Senior Housing has been such a huge blessing!
Anthem Senior Living is the VERY best senior living facility around. The staff goes above and beyond every single day for our Grandmother that means the world to us! This was a very difficult transition for us to make and the staff was there for us every step of the way. They take care of their residents like they are their own family. Sam has the kindest heart in the world and I can’t imagine having our loved ones be anywhere else but home at Anthem Senior Living.
I’m not sure where to even begin to review Sam Ile. As a daughter, admitting that you need help and can no longer take care of your dad alone, in a way that he deserves to be cared for, is a very hard decision to come to. There are so many questions. So many unknowns. It feels daunting, overwhelming, and honestly a little like you’ve failed your parent that has spent their entire life caring for you. When I say that Sam cares – I mean that he TRULY, deeply cares. He understands the many dynamics of this phase of life. He understands the emotions as well as the logistics. Sam took us on like we were family. He helped me to find the absolute PERFECT home for my father to live out his days. He listened to all of my thoughts and concerns and provided extremely valuable insight and feedback based off of his over 20 years experience in the field. Even now, after my dad has been placed – Sam continues to care, continues to check in, and continues to look out for us. I am beyond grateful for everything he has done for us and would shout his name from the rooftops, recommending him to anyone and everyone that I can. If you are in this stage of life and feel totally lost in what to do or what you CAN do, please reach out to Sam. It will be the best decision you ever made.
The most difficult decision I’ve ever made was to place my husband in a residential care home. Sam & Tracey were understanding and compassionate regarding this heart wrenching decision. My husband has been taken care of as “a family member” at Anthem Senior Manor and he loves the personable and caring staff who treat him with kindness and exhibit skilled expertise in tending to his medical, as well as individual needs.
My family and I recently attended the EGG Hunt Event at Anthem Senior Homes with our kids, and I must say we had an absolutely wonderful time. What made the experience all the more special was seeing the joy on the faces of the residents of Anthem Senior Homes who were also in attendance. They were visibly amazed and thoroughly enjoyed the lively and energetic atmosphere.
I was particularly impressed with how well-managed the home is, with great attention paid to every detail. The residents looked extremely well taken care of and were clearly very happy to be there. The level of care and attention provided by the staff was truly impressive. Overall, it was a heartwarming experience and it’s great to see such a well-run and caring facility that caters to the needs of its residents so well.
This is a follow up to my February 2023 review. My mother lived at Anthem Senior Manor for the last 14 months until her passing this month. I can only give an emotional and heart felt thank you to Sam and his staff for taking such loving care of mom. They exceeded every expectation. Senior care is truly their calling.
We needed Dad to be closer to us than the 13 hour drive to CA would allow, especially when his health suddenly took a turn. But where to find a lovely home environment with care givers who would genuinely embrace our loved one with patience, thoughtful encouragement, tasty meals and reliable assistance on a daily basis?
Fortuitously enough my husband heard of Anthem Senior Manor several months ago and after speaking with Sam about our Dad’s then current health status, toured the residence twice in a day, and realized that ASM would be ideal for our circumstance. But how to implement this momentous decision?
During the ensuing two weeks, Sam got to know more about our loved one and his status, and then skillfully walked us through our worries and endless questions. He put us in touch with a talented support team that would arrange for and manage Medical Transport. Additionally, Sam introduced us to the professionals in Palliative and Hospice care who would direct Dad’s medical needs going forward. Within a week we knew there was plan that could make Dad’s move from hospital bed in CA to his new room and home in AZ happen very quickly… like overnight, literally!
Yippee!! Prayers being answered: Dad would be all the more comfortable and compassionately attended to on a daily basis. And Bonus for us: Anthem Senior Manor was just 30 minutes from our home!! Feeling blessed!!
Sam truly was a God sent at a time when our family was swimming in worry and indecision to present a viable and thoughtful plan for Dad. Thanks to him, we were able to confidently make this loving decision for Dad.
The “grand adventure” took place without a hitch or a worry overnight between March 31 and April 1. Now fast forward to Dad’s arrival at the Manor. We were thrilled when Dad rolled into the grand room looking all fresh and dapper. He had arrived an hour before us – greeted by staff, handed a cup of decaf, fed a favorite breakfast, showered shaved groomed and dressed, and presented to us anew !! After a brief tour of his new home, (loved the putting green), he was lifted by two people into a cushy recliner in front of a large TV !! And we both teared up!! Our Dad hadn’t be seated in a chair since his first stroke at the end of July 2023 !! Wow !!
Thank you all for your kindness and playfulness with your newly arrived Cowboy resident! Carlos, Tracey and the rest of the team, we are so grateful!!
And special thanks to Sam and Tracey for your inquisitiveness and genuine thoughtfulness during those first hours… helping us unpack Dad’s things and offering to hang photos for us. We enjoyed sharing stories about Dad’s “life well lived” and putting names to faces from family photos. [A very clever way to get to know more about their newest resident, Sam and Tracey !! 😉
While driving home, we sighed a few times and reassured each other that our loved one deserved to be in this great place. We arrived home relaxed and confident Dad will thrive in the care of this lovely community at Anthem Senior Manor.
Long story short… We offer the highest marks to Anthem Senior Manor:
Our family and the Cowboy’s friends in Cathey’s Valley bestow handfuls of feathers to fluff all y’all’s beautiful angel wings!
A thousand thank you’s, Ally and Brad Lozares
PS. We truly enjoy ASM’s wheelchair access van !! Dad is thrilled to know it’s possible to come back at our home for a favorite meal, a visit with friends or family members when they come to Scottsdale !!
Anthem Senior Manor is just a blessing for our family. We know that Dad is being extremely well taken care of and it’s a family atmosphere. We celebrated Dad’s 89th Birthday will all his friends and family and he was so Happy….. definitely highly recommend!
Unfortunately my father spent over 5 years in assisted living homes so I have seen some good ones and some not so good ones. Please take it from me that THE ONLY place I would ever consider my parents (or God forbid me if the time came) staying in would Anthem Senior Manor. Tracey and Sam are so wonderful to work with and they truly care. My mom tells me all the time that the staff is so good to her and the food is fantastic that she feels like she is living in a resort. I cannot recommend them enough and we are blessed to have found them.
