    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    Thunderbird Senior Living offers a welcoming environment for retirees, with around 350 apartments available. The community atmosphere is highlighted by the warmth and friendliness of both staff and residents. Many reviews praise the engaging activities, the sense of family, and the dedicated staff who go above and beyond to make residents feel at home. The food receives mixed reviews, ranging from "ok" to "soooo good," indicating variability in dining experiences.

    Some visitors and family members of residents have had overwhelmingly positive experiences, noting the facility's responsiveness, especially during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic. The staff's efforts to create a secure, comfortable, and vibrant living environment are frequently commended. Special events, like the Veterans Day celebration, and amenities such as a heated pool, golf putting area, and a pond, add to the appeal of Thunderbird Senior Living.

    However, there are concerns regarding the work environment and management practices, particularly after a change in ownership. Some former employees describe the work culture as toxic and express dissatisfaction with the handling of employment and operational issues.

The facility's approach to safety, security, and community engagement is often highlighted as a reason for choosing it as a home for loved ones. The personal touches, such as the ability for residents to personalize their living spaces and the variety of social activities, contribute to a fulfilling living experience.

    In summary, while there are areas for improvement, particularly in staff management and food quality, Thunderbird Senior Living is appreciated for its caring community, range of amenities, and commitment to resident well-being.
