Key Review Excerpts
“My mother has lived at Hummingbird for 6 months. I moved her from a different facility, in Tucson, and I’m so glad I did!”
“Just moved my sister in law into their independent living. She is in a double room and loves it. We've been escorting her down to eat the last 2 days or so. The food looks and smells really good.”
“This place is awful when it comes to communication. My grandfather lives over there and he's blind so it's hard to get ahold of him sometimes and when you call the front desk (or anywhere) no one answers.”
