If you’re reading this review you may be in the situation my siblings and I were in 2018. At that time our parents had been married 63 years, and our mother was becoming more and more of a caregiver and less of a partner in marriage. None of us lived near them, but we could see it was taking a toll on her health both physically and emotionally. We could also see that they were both of sound mind, but could not bring themselves to make the necessary decisions to ease mother’s burden and allow them flourish in their sunset years. So, we set out to find a home for them that would meet their needs over the coming years. We feel so fortunate to have found Palos Verdes Senior Living in Peoria, AZ, just outside of Phoenix.
We could go on and on with simple moments that made a lasting difference in the quality of the lives of our parents during the seven years they lived at PV, but this one anecdote sums up perfectly the level of care expressed by all the staff members:
Mom was a huge fan of hummingbirds. A big part of her day was watching them come to the feeder on her balcony that she diligently maintained. We needed to move her to assisted living where there are no balconies in the apartments and she was distraught at the thought of them no longer finding the sustenance she provided for them. (This was her biggest concern over moving back to AL.) Then, as we emptied out her apartment after she passed on, we saw her Hummingbird feeder hanging off of a lamp post outside of her second story window. How did this happen? One of the maintenance men who knew mom and her love for hummingbirds saw that the feeder was left behind, and took it upon himself to fill it, then get a ladder and hang it where she could see it during her last days. Enough said.
Reflecting back on all that transpired over the seven years our parents made their home at Palos Verdes, we smile knowing we did right by them, and that PV was the perfect choice.
(We sent a more detailed letter of recommendation to the PV office to share).

We moved my father-in-law in several months ago after nearly a year of physician and cognitive decline. Understandably, he didn't want to leave his home, but after a stroke, Assisted Living was our best option. As a nurse, the first thing that struck me was how clean (and fresh smelling!) Palos Verdes is. He's been there several months, and, like many others as they age, can be a bit of a challenge. Mood swings, being demanding, some confusion, refusal to do anything that will improve his strength, stamina and cognition. The staff understands this. Victoria is nothing short of AMAZING! She doesn't take his bad days personally, and knows just how to interact with him so that he responds. Aging parents are difficult. Of course there is guilt that goes along with not being able to care for them in your own home. Working full time, we just can't be there 24/7 as he requires. But he's in a LOVELY place, well cared for. Honestly, if I required assisted living myself, I wouldn't hesitate to move there.

My sister and I toured Palos Verdes recently as we are in the process of finding housing for our mom. We were immediately greeted by Jonathan who is the Director of Sales. He took the time to sit down with us, listened to what we were looking for, and provided all of the information we needed. He also told us a few amazing stories of some of their residents. It is very apparent just how much passion he has for this line of work. We toured the facility and just got such a warm feeling that the residents absolutely love it there. I would highly recommend talking with Jonathan if you are considering this facility. He is absolutely amazing and you will love Palos Verdes.

My father needed to go into assisted living on short notice and all the staff were absolutely amazing at Palos Verdes. They made my dad feel very comfortable and made the process quick and easy. Everyone there is friendly, caring, and kind. We truly feel like we are part of a family. The residents are happy and active and speak fondly of their experience here. I truly urge you to bring your loved ones to see Palos Verdes for themselves. I have piece of mind that my dad is being taken care of and respected in a clean, bright, friendly place.

Went to look for a new home for my mother- in-law. Jonathan at Palos Verdes gave us a thorough tour of a few apartments as well as all the common areas for the residents. Everything was beautiful and very clean. Spoke with two residents who love living there. All the staff we met were pleasant and answered all our questions. There were many activities for the residents to participate in every day. I'm hoping to have my mother-in-law take a visit ASAP so she can live independently with others of her age group while still having the security of trained professionals watching over her just in case of an emergency.
