My mother in law is a current resident in the memory care unit. Follow up on any medical issue can be difficult. The rooms are very spacious and the food is very good. We have eaten there several times we are very pleased with the kitchen staff, and the attentive servers. I would recommend Canyon village

I have been at Canyon Winds for three years and things have been going downhill ever since. We have constantly begged the Director to speak up for us and she has not seen fit to do so. That leaves all the people with no voice to improve things. The food has been getting worse ever since I came. The chef isn’t a chef he just opens plastic and heats things.<br>As far as care givers go I need help to get to the bathroom. I had a care giver this morning that gave me a shower at 7:30 this morning, it is now 3:30 in the afternoon and I haven’t seen her since this morning. Luckily there are other more compassionate people who answer my page or I would be in a world of hurt. So it seems who you are lucky enough to have help you.
