This place was awesome for my father. All the staff was really good and Jodi the director was very helpful. Definitely would recommend this place for assisted-living.

I have watched the growth of Cave Creek Asssisted Living from the very beginning. Going to the open houses initially and now seeing what it has become is amazing. Jodi and staff have great energy and vibes which gives this place an A+. Their caring and committment to the residents shows throughout. This is truely the place to call Home.

We are so grateful for everyone at Cave Creek Assisted Living! Moving a parent into assisted living can be an emotional, but finding a place where you truly feel your loved one is cared for makes all the difference.<br><br>The facilities are beautiful, clean, one story w/no elevators to deal with unlike other places we toured. There are activities all day, every day, the food is great...restaurant style, not cafeteria, and their live music is out of this world...such a "FUN" place...really!<br><br>A special thank-you to Jodi, the Sales Manager, for being so kind, helpful, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process.<br><br>And to the entire staff—thank you for everything you do every single day for my mom and all of the residents. Your patience, compassion, and dedication do not go unnoticed. Knowing my mom is in such good hands gives our family tremendous peace of mind. We truly appreciate all of you! ❤️

One thing I noticed is that they have a lot of private caregivers, which makes me wonder why. It does make me a little hesitant…
