Would recommend

The staff are friendly. They answer all my questions and relay messages to my Grandfather when I am unable to speak to him. His bedroom is very spacious although he doesn't spend a lot of time in it unless he's sleeping. The staff make sure that he is out in the living room with other members where he can watch TV and socialize. My Grandfather says that the food is weird. He's not very cultured in other types of food. He says the food tastes good though. He's well taken care of. I see him about 1 time a week. He te…

My experience with A Place in the Sun

This was the very first place I toured. I had a panic attack the day before about the situation my Grandfather and I were in and [name removed], the program Owner, was kind. I had a really good feeling about the place. When I came back a few days later to pay the deposit to keep the room, my Grandfather was currently in Respite care, one of the other patients Daughter -in-Law had spoken to me and told me that her Mother was there for 4 years and that they treat them like family. She said, "you're gonna love the pla…

It is an honor and a privilege to highly recommend "A Place in the Sun", for it's caring and competent caregivers, and especially owner, Ilie Iugan. It was May 2020 when dementia finally took my mother's ability to care for herself. It was a horrible time for our family to try and find a suitable facility, and due to the pandemic, I couldn't travel from Chicago to assist my siblings to do so. Immediately, our worries were put at ease by Ilie, his wife and staff. When I was finally able to visit, I was so impressed …

Lovely Accommodations!

The food is exceptional and the home is very clean with no odor. Most staff, especially the owners, are friendly and communicate well with the family. There is nothing this well managed in this price range in the valley. One area for improvement would be social activities outside of mealtime. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

We had a good tour experience with A Place in the Sun. The only reason we did not go with this residential care home was because they do not have a doctor who comes in to see the residents. If you live far away like we did, this would not be ideal because you would have to go and take your loved ones to all of their doctors appointments.

Why this community appears in these categories

Board & Care Homes

Current active Arizona Department of Health Services Assisted Living Home record from AZ Care Check. Arizona Revised Statutes section 36-401 defines an Assisted Living Home as an assisted living facility with resident rooms for ten or fewer residents. CareOpenly therefore uses the official home license type as a Board & Care proxy. The public map record does not expose the state license number, licensed capacity, operator relationship, current availability, price, or fees, so none are inferred.
