The Palazzo in Phoenix, AZ

4.4
People and staff are friendly and activities are great! My mom has been concerned about food quality lately and knows there have been meetings regarding overall impressions of food. I would recommend The Palazzo to others looking.

Lifestyles of Glendale

3.1
The 5 is totally based on the administrator. She is really nice. If she wasn't there it would be terrible. I don't like that it all depends on this one person. There are too many animals. Too many stray cats. Trash, trash, too much trash!

Arbor Ridge in Peoria, AZ

5.0
I have recommended numerous people there and I've also passed on your company's name and phone number. My experience with your company helped me to make this transition much easier than it could been.
