I can’t speak to being a resident there, but they are quick to reject patients in their skilled nursing - as they just did with my father. With that in mind, be careful with moving here - their stepped care looks to more about “you can be here as long as all is good, but when you develop more serious issues, we will toss you on the street.”

We moved to Splendido in the middle of the Pandemic. Everything was shut down but Management did a good job in providing the necessary services including complimentary delivery of lunch & dinner. I believe Splendido is the only planned retirement community in Tucson that provides the 4 levels of care necessary for a CCRC - independent living, assisted living, memory care & skilled nursing care. That was key in our decision to come here. Splendido is facing the same challenges as other businesses in trying to fully staff all departments. The second most important factor in choosing a place like Splendido is the quality of the food. Despite staff shortages, Splendido does an outstanding job in this area. Splendido offers a wide variety of menu items & the food is quite good. Splendido is going through some renovations & while that presents some challenges, the effort is nearing completion & residents have not been significantly impacted. We are former SaddleBrooke residents & while the decision to move to Splendido was not an easy one at the time, we know we made the right decision & have no regrets.

First rate accommodations-villas, apartments large and small. Facilities for the healthy and those with special needs as we progressively age! Life care at a reasonable price. Lots of plans to choose from. Activities galore. Caring staff, dining options and most of all tremendous neighbors. Come see for yourself.

I've lived at Splendido for 10+ years and life is awesome! The people here are wonderful, and that includes Management, Staff and Residents. There are unlimited opportunities to socialize, share common interests and hear stories of interesting lives. My favorite activity is indoor saltwater pool exercise. I can work out and not take risks. Splendido has exceeded my expectations.

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.
