I am writing to share my positive experience with Catalina Springs Memory Care (CSMC). As both a daughter-in-law and a caregiver with experience in various facilities in Florida and Tucson, I find that CSMC is by far the best fit for individuals with memory issues.<br><br>I visit my father-in-law, LD, two to three times a week. His son visits on the weekends.<br><br>While LD does not participate in every activity, the variety available allows him to choose what he enjoys. There are opportunities for outings as well.<br><br>I have observed that the staff personally connects with every resident, and I am always greeted warmly upon arrival. I have come to know most of the caregivers by name and find the team to be both open to feedback as well as supportive during moments when I feel overwhelmed. Hugs for me are always a plus. It is an emotional time of life as I love my father in law and want what's best for him.<br><br>Although LD has only been at CSMC for six months, We are confident he is in the best possible environment for the level of care he requires.<br><br>My husband and I also appreciate the many opportunities for family involvement; we have enjoyed attending holiday dinners and appreciate being welcomed for meals. It is best to let the caregivers know ahead of time so they can tell the chef so he can prepare.<br><br>The environment is one of home. It is a fluid place with many different residents in different stages of their lives. The care given is respectful, knowledgeable and might I add fun and humorous.<br><br>I have seen staff deflect and redirect residents when necessary.<br>I applaud the team for all their compassion and energy that pours into our loved ones.<br><br>There is also a Support Group that meets monthly. I have participated so far in two of them and plan to continue.<br><br>I would suggest visiting and seeing if this is a fit for your loved one. We worked with Sonoran Senior Solutions and after visiting other places we know that Catalina Springs Memory Care was the best for LD and us!

I can’t say enough about the kindness and support we experienced at Catalina Springs Memory Care. The facility itself is beautiful, and the staff goes above and beyond—they’re knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring.<br>A special thank you to Bridget the Assistant Executive Director, who took the time to answer all of our questions and truly put us at ease during a very difficult and emotional process. Making decisions like this is never easy, but thanks to their guidance, we feel much more confident moving forward and knowing our loved one will be in good hands.<br>I highly recommend them to anyone—whether you’re ready to make a placement or just starting to explore your options and need direction. They are an incredible team to work with.

From games and music to special events, there’s always something going on that brings joy and a sense of community.<br><br>Highly recommend Catalina Springs Memory Care to anyone looking for a place where their loved one will be cared for and valued.

I can’t say enough great things about the leadership here, especially Bridget Delaney the Assistant Executive Director. Her level of professionalism, compassion, and dedication truly stands out. She goes above and beyond not just for the residents, but for the families and staff as well.<br><br>What I admire most is her ability to balance strong leadership with genuine care. She’s present, approachable, and always willing to step in wherever needed. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and it reflects in the positive environment she helps create every day.<br><br>If you’re looking for a place where your loved one will be cared for with respect, dignity, and heart, this is it. Leadership makes all the difference—and she is a big part of why this community feels like home.

How our free service works, and how we are paid

Arizona asks us to share this with you in writing before we introduce you to a community.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.

Arizona law requires that we provide you with the following disclosure notice.

We are in the business of referring residents to assisted living facilities and assisted living homes. We will be paid by the assisted living facility or assisted living home if you move into one of the referred assisted living facilities or assisted living homes. The fee we receive from the assisted living facility or assisted living home into which you move typically ranges from 50 to 80 percent of your first month's rent and care charges. We do have a current business relationship but we do not have a common ownership or control in, or any other financial, business, management or familial relationship with, any of the assisted living homes and assisted living facilities to which we are referring you.

By providing us with a written or electronic notice, you have the right to terminate our services to you at any time, including our use of your personal information. If you terminate our services, we will not be entitled to any fee for any move-in you make after the date of the termination notice unless either:

1. The assisted living facility or assisted living home you choose within the next twelve months is one that we specifically identify and refer to you after we evaluate your profile and requests but before we receive your notice of termination.

2. You communicate with us before you move into the assisted living facility or assisted living home.
