The Villas at Academy Village is truly a gem. They are small, so the staff quickly gets to know each patient on an individual basis, and they treat us well. I never felt uncared for or in jeopardy, and they treated me with dignity and respect. Everyone should be so lucky to have a Villa to help them as they navigate their final months / years.

My parents lived at the Villas for six years. The staff was wonderful and providing them with loving care as they became increasingly frail. Because the facility is relatively small, it provided a home-like environment where their individual preferences were known to the staff and they received personalized attention.

I can't say enough about the staff and residents at Academy Villas. My mom was there for over 3 years with advanced dementia. We felt like the small setting was the best for her and always knew she was safe, well fed and happy. It was her home...and staff was her extended family.

My aging parents live in Tucson and are looking around for an Assisted Living residence which they feel is in their near-time future. I accompanied them to the Academy Villas, and it instantly became their favorite. Small, comfortable, safe, in a spectacular setting and with many amenities, the Academy Villas is staffed by warm and highly experienced caregivers. The caregiver/resident ratio is very good; and the cost is reasonable. After visiting several Assisted Living facilities in Tucson, the Academy Villas became my favorite as well, and I will feel at ease when they move in.

As a resident of the community where Academy Villas is located, I have had the opportunity to work closely with the staff and management of the Villas. They are enormously dedicated to the residents and treat them as if they were members of their own families. It is pleasure to be a visitor to this extraordinary facility, and witness the dedicated care and concern provided to all.
