Inspirations of Tempe

Overall, I give Inspirations of Tempe a 3. It is a clean, lovely place and the staff is nice. I haven't eaten there but they have a beautiful dining room. I am impressed with all the fun activities they offer. There is room for improvement in communication between staff and family, and staff and resident. There is also a need for consistency. There are often changes and my loved one doesn't know what to expect. I chose this assisted living for my family member for several reasons… Close location to me, I know she will be safe and taken care of there, she gets three meals a day, and she is around other people.

work in progress

Sorry, but we have not had a great experience so far. The food is a negative 5. It is very poor. Not nutritious, and not enough. My Mom has been there and they have had 3 "wellness directors". They have a difficult time with enough staffing also. This is concerning.

Medication aides need more training

The reason I gave them 3, is due to the aides who dispense medication are not all the same page. The new hires, lack education. Overall, we appreciate all the support and care. We really are very pleased with "Inspirations of Tempe" and love all the residents there.

Review for Inspirations of Tempe

My mom is so happy at Inspirations of Tempe!! I have never come across a staff member that didn't smile and greet me. Staff members know my name even though I'm only there once a week - even the chef! I've had a few meals there and they were good. My mom had been able to try new foods she never considered before. I was surprised that my mom participates in activities, but she likes to play games and even do the crafts. The calendar is always full of activities for a variety of interests. My mom gets the care she needs and the one time she fell, I got a call immediately from the staff. I couldn't have found a more suitable place for her and I'm thankful that A Place for Mom helped me with the search.

High staff turnover

I chose it initially due to location. When they were fully staffed, things were good… They just went through a huge turnover of people which made things difficult. My mother passed away last October so I don't know how it is now. I don't really have much more to add. There was so much turnover while we were there that often they were understaffed or didn't have a Director or you name it…

Inspirations of Tempe review

Inspirations bought out the previous company and have had a problem keeping staff. With those staffing down, services are way behind. For example my mother in law's room wasn't cleaned for 3 weeks but cost for services were not reduced. They shouldn't be charged for services they haven't received. My mother in law likes living there so she will stay.

Former Patient

My Sister-In-Law was in Elmcroft for nearly 22 months. After paying for [date removed] we were called on April 2nd and told to get her out of the facility. We moved her on [date removed]. The reason we were given, "She needs to be in Memory Care". Please Note: Elmcroft advertises they are a Memory Care Facility. They tried to cheat her out of an extra day's cost. It took nearly a month to get all of her refund. Laundry service was included in the monthly price. We had to do her laundry for her since they weren't keeping up with the laundry. There were full bags of urine soaked clothes in her room. The Patient needed to be checked on and taken to the bathroom in a more timely manner. Most of the times we visited her she was sitting in urine soaked clothes.

Out for themselves

91 yo mother was placed in Elmcroft [date removed] after spending a month rehab. Her admitting orders specified she dementia. She didn't recognize me when I visited & believed rehab was trying to kill her (documented). Fast forward. Elmcroft did not believe she had dementia. Her phone didn't work because she did not take it out of the box. Stories go on. Mother disowned and me revoked my POA with aid of someone. While at Elmcroft, she spent over $50K: giving $15K away and buying $36K of jewelry. I spent ~ $180K for her care. [name removed] passed and I was informed of this by a form bank letter. Elmcroft stated it is a family matter and that my Mother did not want any info about her relayed to me. They kept taking my money though. I spoke with Elmcroft and they said they were following [name removed] wishes and i can get a lawyer. Meanwhile her bank accounts have been wiped out and jewelry is gone. Tell me, who benefitted from this? I might add this all occurred during pandemic lockdown. RIP.

Bait and switch! Awful & Negligent Care

My mom was at Elmcroft and it is 100% horrible. The nurses and caregivers lie about the care they provide and the salesperson washes her hands of you once she's sold you this disaster if a place. They kept my mom alive while in respite but her room was almost always dirty and smelly. She always looked disheveled and they did not wash her face every day, keep her hydrated or engaged. They are LAZY about the care they provide and did not follow through with their promises. DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR SALES PITCH! IT'S A BAIT AND SWITCH and if you care about your loved ones, don't trust them to do the same.

Elmcroft of Tempe

2 years ago- I toured the site the other day, and I have to say I was impressed. As a boy, I worked summers in a nursing home (quite large, about 200 residents), and I learned a little about it. I did not go into that field, but I can't unlearn what I learned. Some places I have seen are quite frightening when viewed from the lens of someone considering suggesting the place to a relative or friend. Not this place. The atmosphere was terrific, the place is clean, and the staff appeared to be friendly. I think the place is worth being on anybody's list.

Friendly and kind

My mom has been living here for 4 months and we all love it. Elmcroft is a beautiful balance of professional and family-like. I am welcome anytime. My mom loves the staff and most every resident she has met and visited with. Mom loves the activities like: music, art, bingo, and Bible Studies. All are optional and we encourage her to try new activities. The staff is friendly and attentive. Her doctor comes to her. My personal favorite is how many smiling residents are out of their rooms enjoying the common areas.

The best place for him.

They were very attentive to getting us signed up. Some details were not presented completely because of their rush. The client was not given a complete orientation and has not been satisfied with things that were not explained. They are responsive to questions and requests but limited to items in the Resident's Agreement.

Elmcroft Experience

Elmcroft of Tempe really deserves a 5 star rating. From the front desk to each and every staff member I met and talked with, my experience was pleasant and very informative. The rooms, activities, and all amenities were explained in detail. I definitely consider Elmcroft to be a great fit for anyone needing to to make a choice on placing a family member into a living place that's helpful, safe and enjoyable.

Time Spent there was ok

We had to move dad out once mom passed away. for my mom, she had been back and forth from the hospital and rehab a few times so she really didn't have any experience there but for my dad, he seemed to like it. He enjoyed the people staff and the residents and while he was there he seemed to like the food. Communication on the medications that he was supposed to be taking was a little bumpy at first but quickly got resolved. The staff was very sympathetic to our situation with my mom which we appreciated.
