Emeritus at Mesa is a great facility with wonderful staff. It is always clean and the residents always appear happy and well cared for. One of the things I admire most about Emeritus at Mesa is that whenever a new resident moves in they are paired up with a resident who has lived there for some time, and are shown the ropes, given the insider tour and are helped in becoming comfortable and familiar with their new surroundings. They aren't just thrown to the wolves and expected to learn how to survive. Emeritus wants every resident to be happy and content and they show this everyday day through their commitment and service. I am always excited about visiting this facility because every time, I see situations that really lead me to appreciate the staff of Emeritus at Mesa even more. One time I saw a staff member entering the facility as I was leaving and she was carrying a big bag of Peanut Butter M&M's. I knew this staff member from my previous visits so I stopped to chat with her for a few minutes. She told me that one of her residents had a hard week and she was going to try and cheer her up with her favorite candy. Peanut Butter M&M's. That is a tiny gesture, but one that can mean the world to a resident, and it is this type of gesture that I see happening all the time at this facility. Emeritus at Mesa is a great facility with an even greater staff.
I visited this facility with my mother and a friend of my mother's who was also looking into assisted living.
Absolutely beautiful area, right on Brown road in Mesa. The main building resembles more of a country house or a house one might see as they were driving up to an orange grove. Bright white with green trim. Extremely inviting with tons upon tons of foliage and flowers, big open doors that lead into a large foray.
We weren't two feet in the doors when a staff member greeted us warmly and said she'd be happy to show us around. That was pretty cool because we didn't make an appointment, we just happened to spot the place while driving home from a different facility.
They certainly seem to go above and beyond with this place. Gorgeous landscaping with gazebo's and as I mentioned earlier, the most well kept foliage. The dining room had to have been my favorite as it is directly open to a large and roomy kitchen, just like a home kitchen. Literally, you can sit at the table and view the entire kitchen, the cabinetry, the sink, the refrigerator. Beautifully thought of, I think.
The rooms are so pretty! Private bath with open showers, hand rails that you don't even really notice are handrails. I really liked how they offer private rooms or what they call ""friendship"" rooms. It was funny because my mom and her friend that was with us both laughed and said, ""Oh! We can be roomies!""
The staff was impeccably kind. They really made you feel welcome, like I said, a home.
It was funny because as we were leaving, we each picked up a brochure. While browsing through it I noticed how they stated they were ""nestled in the heart of Mesa's orange groves"". That was exactly my impression of the place before I even knew it!
A lovely facility. I will certainly keep it high on my own list of options as I myself age and may someday require assisted living.
My grandfather has been living at Emeritus for almost a year now. We chose it for him because we heard that they had a special program for Alzheimer's patients (my grandfather has been suffering from Alzheimer's for nearly three years now), and because it is located close to my home, my siblings' homes, and my parents' home. So far, Emeritus has been great with my grandfather: he seems happy there, and the staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and understanding. One of the best things about Emeritus is that it doesn't feel like a retirement home/assisted living home most of the time: it has the feeling of an expensive neighborhood with nice landscaping, good living amenities, and the like. I'd definitely recommend it (and have recommended it several times already) to anyone who was looking for a good place for their aging loved ones to live.
The facilities were clean and cozy, the staff very helpful, and compassionate. They went out of their way to help walk us through the process of admitting my father.
The staff is great everyone is so friendly, it just seems to be short staffed. Mom loves the place. Thx
