    Beautiful building, severe care failures

    I was thrilled by the brand-new, beautiful building, excellent dining, endless activities and ASU campus access - lively, intellectual community and easy social life. But the shine is deceptive: I witnessed/experienced severe care failures (soiled diapers left overnight, unexplained bruising, missed meds, delayed equipment, gifts gone, property damage in my grandmother's apartment) and unresponsive management. The staff mix is uneven - some kind professionals, but understaffing and apparent mistreatment are real. Downtown noise, nightlife, parking headaches and the development's impact on Tempe culture also made it feel unsuitable for many seniors. Beautiful facility, but I can't recommend it without major leadership and staffing fixes.
