Recent reviews for independent living in Cactus Forest

Mountain View Retirement Village in Tucson, AZ

4.8
This is a good community and it is a good value. The staff are very friendly and kind. My loved one was in the memory care and is moving over to the unassisted living and is excited to participate in more activities.

Robson Reserve at Sun Lakes

5.0
Their meals were outstanding! We love love love The Renaissance! Unfortunately my mother-in-law couldn't get along with her neighbor so it was her problem, not the communities, but we decided to move her out. We're still sad that it didn't work out.

Albany Apartments in Mesa, AZ

5.0
We picked this community, for two main reasons: Price, and W/D in individual units. Definitely worth a look! Management and maintenance are responsive and helpful. I would recommend to other families.
