The family of Mary is very grateful to all of you for the excellent and most compassionate care you gave her over her four years with you. She could not have been in a better place. It takes very special people to deal with those afflicated with dementia. We thank you for all of you patience, love, and compassion. -John and Elaine

We've been using your thoughtful and very useful Mother's Day gifts to give mom a special treat each day that we visit. Ya'll are, and continue to be, a blessing for Mom and our family. It's your generous and caring spirit that makes Via Elegante a uniquely special place to live. Thank you for everything! -Suzanne Hogan

I would highly recommend Via Elegante Assisted Living homes as one of the best places for clients who would benefit from personalized, coordinated and unique care.  I have clients at two of the homes, and see first hand the individualized care they receive.  These clients have different care requirements and each client has received the care specifically tailored to their diverse needs.

As a Care Manager I know that good communication with nursing and caregivers is vital -- and Via Elegante excels at this.  The timely communication regarding changes in clients' health status is one of the things I appreciate most and has enabled me to provide appropriate care to my clients and their families.

As a Care Manager I advocate for the highest quality of life for my clients, and Via Elegante has provided this.  The staff, nursing and caregivers go "above and beyond the call of duty" to demontrate a high level of skill, empathy, and care.  Via Elegante provides an environment that both allows increased attention and care, as well as privacy and autonomy only available in this specialized setting.  My clients are fortunate to reside at Via Elegante. -Deb McPherson, RN, Certified Geritric Care Manager, Licensed Fiduciary, Act Now RNs Case Management

Thank you for sharing Seder celebration with all of us. It felt like one warm family and the food was symbolic and delicious, true to tradition. P.S. I enjoyed the reading. -Jane Poston

My parents are at home.
Home is exactly the way that it feels at Via Elegante Luxury Assisted Living at La Cholla.

Finding the right living situation for my parents has been a long and arduous journey for me and my family. Over the past few years, my parents have lived in 3 of the larger, more well known assisted living facilities in Tucson.  Each one of those facilities, at the time, considered, for different reasons, to be one of the best in the city. In my opinion, however, none of them even come close to the love, caring, and individual attention that is given to each resident at Via Elegante. It is always apparent that the caregivers enjoy their jobs and love the residents that they care for.  The safety, care, and happiness of their residents is of paramount importance to each of the staff.  The staff considers the personalities and the individual needs of each resident, and the caregivers care for each resident with love and tolerance.  Both the management staff and the care giving staff are always available for the family and their concerns, no mater the time of day or night.

At some point, many of us will have to face the fact that our personal needs may require an assisted living situation, and we can only hope, that we will be lucky enough to live in a facility equal to the philosophy, care, and love at Via Elegante. -Philis Gold

I want to take a moment to thank you for the Via Elegante operations. I have been a resident since August 2008. I congratulate you on the capabilities of the facilities and the dedication of the personnel to the requirements of the residents who require long term assisted living care. These can be difficult needs and are well met at Via Elegante.

I would also like to express my appreciation for the managerial setup and staffing. You have selected two extremely effective personnel managers. They allocate their time to individual needs whenever possible. I have been a personal recipient of their help on several occasions.

If you need a reference for potential new residents for Via Elegante, please feel free to have them meet with me. -Fred Campbell

I like Via Elegante because it is both large and small. Large with spacious rooms and skilled caregivers. Small with a limit of ten residents; family size atmosphere. I like the location high above the city lights at night yet close to Northwest hospital and shopping malls and libraries. I moved to Via Elegante after living in a large (over 200 people) community for several years. I can sum up the difference in one brief sentiment, “Small is Beautiful.” -Jane Poston

To Andy, Lindsay, and the staff of Via Elegante:

Lindsay, the first person I met there, came across to me as someone that genuinely cared about the well-being of the residents. And as she guided me on a tour of the home I immediately got a comfortable, warm and fuzzy feeling—something I never felt on any of the many tours at other facilities. Another thing that impresses me about your home is that Andy is on premises on a daily basis, as well as his daily visits to the residents. Andy and Lindsay’s willingness to immediately address any concerns or requests also is very impressive.

Your home feels like a home and not a facility. I looked at many facilities prior to finding this home and I know for a fact that I would not have anywhere near the good feelings about them as I do about Via Elegante. I directly attribute my mother’s short adjustment to 1% her being a tough old bird and 99% to the staff due to their willingness to bend over backwards to help her feel comfortable and at home. To me it appears that they have a genuine feeling of caring about her well-being, as well as the other residents.

Again, many thanks to Andy, Lindsay, and the excellent caregivers. -Warren Simmons
