Brookdale Santa Catalina

My experience with Brookdale Skilled Nursing care has been positive thus far. The person I have been communicating with has been excellent . She is a caring, compassionate individual. Hope to have my husband accepted soon to be transferred from the hospital to this outstanding facility. It is difficult to go through this process (understatement) but kindness and interest goes a very long way. Pray the coming days will bring my husband to a degree of independence.

Brookdale Santa Catalina, nestled against the foothills with amazing views and wildlife truly is the Jewel of Tucson Senior Living. The community is large and lovely, with something for everyone. Santa Catalina is one of the rare places that you can age in place in Tucson, all the way from several large independent living apartments to an onsite skilled nursing, assisted living and memory care. The beauty of this model is that no matter what happens to your loved one they get to stay in the community they love surrounded by the friends they have made through their Brookdale journey. As we get older moving becomes more stressful with more difficult and longer recovery times. Because Santa Catalina has an apartment for every need, and a private caregiver agency on site as well for those residents not ready to give up their independence but who could use a little extra help. Add to that the best food I have experienced in a congregate setting and a robust activities schedule (safe and socially distant during COVID of course) and Brookdale Santa Catalina offers it all. The staff are friendly and many have been there a very long time, several employees with 20+ years under their belt. When you factor in that Brookdale Santa Catalina has had one of the best COVID outcomes in the state of Arizona, I don't know why you would take your loved one anywhere else.

I love living here at Brookdale Santa Catalina. Before Covid it was a happening place. It is a perfect size for Independent Living. Enough activities if a resident is interested, but a beautiful setting to relax and enjoy time with friends or even alone.
Since the novel Coronavirus started spreading the Corporation and our Director have instituted restrictions to keep us safe. But we are still well cared for, with meals delivered and roving Sweet Treats and Happy Hour.
Things are beginning to open up so I hope things will return safely to the fun times with friends here at Brookdale Santa Catalina

One of the best decisions my parents made was to move to Brookdale Santa Catalina. The staff are kind and helpful The activities have been varied and stimulating. And, the living spaces are spacious and well maintained. As an 'out-of-town' daughter, I feel welcomed and invited to participate.....my parents friends are now my own.
