| - My mom was a resident here, but wanted to be closer to her friends, so she moved to a retirement community in Mesa. McDowell Village was our first experience with any kind of retirement community, so I was ignorant as to what is good, great, bad, etc. Now that Mom has moved, I know better. McDowell Village is GREAT!!!! They took such good care of my mom... much better than she's getting now. Plus, the caretakers speak clear and concise English. If you're shopping for a community for your loved one. make sure caretakers have English either as their first language, or they speak English well enough to be understood by your hard-of-hearing family member.... or even yourself! McDV is also great at getting your loved one out & about, socializing with other residents, which turns out to be KEY. They are responsive to medical needs, and have one of my favorite geriatric docs who comes to the facility (Dr. Randall Clark). I'm still bummed Mom doesn't live there anymore because my life as a caretaker was SO MUCH EASIER when she lived at McDV. Everyone there was good to my mom AND great to & for me. If you can afford it, put your loved one here. Heck, in another 20 years I'm hoping I can move in!! A little pricey, but trust me: IT'S WORTH IT!!!
