CarePartners took over Tucson Gardens Memory Care on July 1st, 2025 and unfortunately, our family had a terrible experience. I would encourage you to read the public AZ Department of Health Services, Health Care Facilities, Inspection Reports.

I'm giving this business two stars Strictly because the Care Givers and the caring staff who are still working there are still so wonderful and really trying their best! Care Partners needs to wake up!! It has been only a month since this new company took over this Memory Care facility and everything has started going down hill incredibly FAST! They have gotten rid of So Many of the staff, including care givers, housekeeping staff, plus several of the office and kitchen staff who were wonderful as well. Now they expect this to work with less than half of the people they had originally and the ones who are left are having to do the work of three people each day. I don't know how this company expects them to keep up! If they keep this business model, they are going to loose the wonderful people they still have working there, not to mention the residents who's families are getting Very Irritated with their care! This used to be one of The Best places to take a loved one who is living with Dementia or Alzheimer's. They used to have a good team of some of the best Care Givers, House Keepers/Laundry staff, Nursing Staff, Kitchen Staff, Grounds Keepers/Maintenance people, Activities Coordinators, and Office Staff I have dealt with. Every One Of Them appeared to Care about the residents there, and the care givers had time to get to know the residents and their quirks and how to deal with them. Unless things change drastically within the next few months, I would not recommend this place as "one of the best" any longer.
