The other day I went to the front to sweep up most of cigarettes butts because it was starting to look nasty so when I was sweeping them up this one resident came outside to smoke and when this person was done smoking they threw their cigarettes butts on the floor right in front of me. I used to get sick like once every 3 years and now I get sick like once a month now the residents here get sick and touch everything and they have hand sanitizer stations all over the place but the residents here don't use them. The food here is like prison food the other day I ordered a breakfast burrito in the morning and they bought me a burrito with just eggs in it so I told the server to take it back and tell the cook I wanted a real breakfast burrito not just a burrito with just eggs in it and I waited for a half hour and they never came back so I got tired of waiting so I just got up and left" - Christopher… Read more

"Under Angel Wings Care Home Assisted Living facility is hands down the absolute BEST care home in Arizona! My mom was in the hospital for a while, then went to Hospice of the Valley (HOV) and then she needed to be transferred to an assisted living care home and HOV recommended my mom to go to Under Angel Wings. I met with the owners, Michael and Dolly Castillo, and explained all the care my mom would need and I had such good vibes from them and they stated that they would be able to take care of her. I am happy to say that Michael and Dolly and their amazing staff go way above and beyond the call of duty to provide my mom with the utmost compassion, warmth and kindness in taking care of her. My mom has dementia and she is also bedbound so she requires a lot of extra care such as preparing her meals and helping her eat, giving her medication, bathing, changing her clothes daily, laundry, toileting, grooming and assistance with the activities of daily living. Definitely 5-star review!!!" - Jamie… Read more
