Key Review Excerpts

The management team will help you in every way possible True Story: I am recovering from heart valve replacement surgery... To their great credit, Michael Brown, CEO, and Erica Crawford, resident coordinator, recently come into my apartment to help me clean and organize.

Rehab patient · 2026★★★★★

Our family member loves his little apartment and I love that he is taking care of daily by having food prepared for him and having them always checking to make sure that he's up and about with their door magnet system. The staff are incredibly sweet, kind, informative, and helpful.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

Thunderbird Senior Living dining receives a minus '1' in regards to service. Tenants have waited over an hour just to get a bowl of soup, or often they don't receive their meal at all.
