A Golden Retreat Care Home sits in a quiet part of Surprise, Arizona at 18330 West Marconi Ave, about 6.9 miles from Sun City West, and it's managed by Mr. David Stutsman, who runs things through his company, A Golden Retreat Care Home, LLC. This place has a business license from the Arizona Department of Health Services, and the whole setup is in a single-story building with safety features like a sprinkler system and handicap accessibility, which makes moving around easier for everyone, and there's guest parking out front. The care home has eight beds, and residents pick from private or shared rooms, including studios and one-bedroom spaces, all with cable TV, washers, dryers, and easy access to things like the dining room, kitchens or kitchenettes, fitness area, wifi, a salon/barbershop, and a game or activity room. Folks here can choose from assisted living, independent living, or skilled nursing care, including hospice care, home health (Medicare-certified), incontinence care, walking and wheelchair help, and memory care if someone's dealing with dementia or similar needs. They also offer adult day services, non-medical home care, and personal care assistants who help with bathing, dressing, getting around, and taking medications. A full calendar of social activities, arts and crafts, health programs, exercise classes, and outings keeps people busy, while dining services provide meals, and there's transportation for doctor trips or shopping as well as laundry and housekeeping, so residents don't have to worry about those chores. The place focuses on meeting individual needs and keeping up high care standards for seniors, though it doesn't have BBB accreditation, and there's no public price listed right now, but the usual cost in the neighborhood runs between $5,335 to $5,665 a month. Reviewers have given it good marks, with one site rating it 9.8 out of 10 based on four reviews, while another community rating gives it an 8.4 out of 10, and people appreciate the welcoming feeling, small size, and the level of attention the staff gives the residents, especially those who want a quieter setting but still want plenty of programs and help with daily living.
Caring staff but later problems
I'm grateful to David and his team for professional, loving care - friendly, knowledgeable staff in a clean, beautiful facility who gave extra one-on-one time, accommodated special diets and favorites, managed meds well, and communicated easily with owners and doctors. Unfortunately later price increases, a room relocation and some staff negativity during hospice care caused stress, so we ultimately moved to a more professionally run home. Overall, I appreciate the kindness my loved one received while there.
