Do not send your loved one here!!! Our family had a very disappointing experience. During our loved one’s stay, she fell out of bed twice within two days. Neither incident was documented or reported to our family. We only learned about the falls because she was able to tell us herself. She also told us that floor pads were placed beside her bed after the second fall. This facility was aware of the needed precautions such as lowering the bed and using floor mats should have been in place beforehand, given her condition. When we questioned the staff, we were told that our immobile family member had somehow gotten herself back into bed and that they were unaware she had fallen. Based on her physical condition & the placed pads, we did not find that explanation believable. We were also very concerned about her hygiene, which was not adequately maintained during her stay.

There are so many reasons I would recommend Estrella, but it all boils down to the individuals that work there that bring excellent and quality care. I'm impressed with the passionate and ambitious nature of everyone I've interacted with here. Very patient centered, and they are highly driven to be the best.

I would love to be able to write this review about a specific employee but I am finding that impossible to do. EVERYONE that I have encountered at Estrella have simply gone out of their way to make my family feel comfortable, most importantly my Auntie. The care and concern that is shown to and for her is so wonderful. They are very patient and really listen to my Auntie at what she is trying to say. I am so happy to watch the look on her face when she has been able to accomplish something that she has not been able to in quite a while. Two hands raised up to Estrella!!!!

Estrella Health Center provided exceptional care and support during my family member’s stay, making a difficult time much easier for all of us. The staff was compassionate, professional, and always attentive to our needs, which gave our family great peace of mind. Our overall experience was truly positive, and we are very grateful for the kindness and quality care we received.

As a Care Giver I was responsible for sending 2 friends to Estrella Health and Rehab . I could not have been more pleased with this choice. Besides the very clean, nice smelling and good food. The whole staff were amazing.They went above and beyond for myself and my friends. If you are on the West side this would be my only choice for skilled nursing and rehab.Thanks to all of your staff you are my hero’s ❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏

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.
