    Great care, clean, but overpriced

    I'm relieved my mom is well cared for - staff are compassionate and attentive, always by her side. The facility is very clean, with plenty of meals, snacks, and activities; Mom is pleased even though she doesn't socialize much. It's an excellent place, but the pricing is outrageous - they charged 80% of the first month's fee up front.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment from the reviews is positive about the quality of care and the environment at San Judas Adult Care Home, with a clear and consistent appreciation for cleanliness, staff attention, dining, and activities. Multiple reviewers described the facility as "very clean" and "nice," and visitors and residents repeatedly highlighted the staff as friendly, compassionate, and attentive. Phrases indicating that staff are "by her side" and provide care with compassion point to reliable personal attention and hands-on support for residents.

    Care quality and staff performance are among the strongest themes. Reviewers emphasize that staff are kind and attentive, suggesting good day-to-day caregiving and responsiveness to resident needs. The characterization of the place as "excellent" and statements that residents are pleased with their stay reinforce the impression that clinical and personal care meet expectations for those who live there. Prospective residents or family members would likely find reassurance in the recurring notes about staff compassion and steady presence.

    Facilities and dining also appear to be strengths. The facility is described as very clean, an important factor for safety and comfort. Dining is noted positively through mentions of "plenty of meals and snacks," indicating that food availability and meal frequency are adequate and appreciated. The combination of cleanliness and consistent meal provision contributes to a sense of a well-run living environment.

    Activities and social opportunities are available, with reviewers noting "many activity opportunities." This suggests an active programming schedule and options for engagement. At the same time, one review notes a resident "not keen to socialize," which highlights that social fit varies by individual: while the home offers activities, some residents may be more private or less interested in participating, so the environment may suit both more and less social residents depending on personal preferences.

    The most significant concern across the summaries is cost. Multiple comments frame pricing as a problem, using words such as "outrage" and specifically calling out a very large upfront charge—reported as an 80% first-month charge. This pricing detail stands out as a concrete financial issue and a potential barrier for prospective residents and families. It raises questions about contract terms, fee structure, and transparency; reviewers imply that prospective residents should closely examine billing practices before committing.

    In summary, San Judas Adult Care Home is consistently praised for cleanliness, compassionate and attentive staff, adequate dining, and a variety of activities, and several reviewers indicate residents are pleased with their stay. The primary downside reported is pricing, especially a substantial upfront charge that some reviewers find excessive. For families considering this facility, the reviews suggest it is a well-maintained, caring environment that warrants a visit and direct conversations about fees, contract terms, and how the home's social offerings match the prospective resident's preferences.

    About San Judas Adult Care Home

    San Judas Adult Care Home sits in Sahuarita, Arizona, out near the mountains and close to local shops, clinics, and restaurants, so folks can enjoy some of what the area has to offer when the mood strikes, and it's been around since 2005 under the care of Ms. Maria Gallegos, who manages the place and keeps things running with a steady hand, and the care home holds an Arizona Department of Health Services license, AL6201H, as well as an A+ BBB rating, though it isn't BBB accredited. The home isn't big-more of a small community with a welcoming, homelike feel-where staff focus on safety, comfort, and meaningful daily routines, and you'll find residents get help with things like bathing, dressing, and moving around, with staff there around the clock to make sure folks are safe and well looked after, and if someone needs reminders for medicine or insulin injections, or help with diabetic and behavioral care, they handle that too, using things like alarms and security technology to keep residents from wandering off or getting lost, especially for those with memory troubles like Alzheimer's or dementia, since there's a special secured area built for memory care in its own building, along with nurses and other professionals on site and ready to manage care at all hours. Inside, the rooms come with phones and furniture, and the place offers regular meals-including options for people with special diets like diabetes or allergies-plus daily housecleaning, laundry, and move-in coordination to take some of the stress out of settling in. Residents can relax in the gardens or take a stroll along walking paths, and there's always something going on, from movie nights to social outings, along with group activities to keep people engaged and connected; they also provide transportation for medical appointments and outings. If folks need speech or occupational therapy, podiatry, or visiting nurses, those services come right to the home, and the staff at San Judas Adult Care Home are trained to handle higher-acuity needs, such as incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, special diets, monitoring health, and even using lifts for safe transfers. The staff works with families to put together care plans that fit the individual's needs, with everyone focused on helping residents maintain as much independence as makes sense, while always keeping an eye on comfort and safety. The property's secure, there's an emergency alert system in place, and supervision lasts 24 hours every day. San Judas Adult Care Home offers a mix of assisted living, nursing care, memory care, and board-and-care, all in a residential neighborhood, providing a place where adults can live with dignity, get the hands-on help they need, and still enjoy visits with friends and family in a relaxed setting.
