Revel Scottsdale

At the end of last year my father became ill and passed away, leaving my mom after 65 years of marriage. She had never lived alone and was understandably hesitant about moving out of the house they shared for the past 21 years into the unknown. She lived an hour away from me and I wanted her to be close by, so we began searching for options to relocate her and sell her home. Initially my Mom wanted another smaller home and was very much against living in a senior community. I explained to her that at her age "85" I do not want her to have to care for a house and maintain it like her and my father did for so many years. We looked at several homes online but all of them were older and would need a lot of work and upkeep. So we decided to go look at a senior community, the first one we visited felt very institutional because it had an assisted living and memory care wing which we did not need. My mom is overall very healthy for her age and has always been active. As the result of a referral from another assisted living community in the area, we came across Revel in Scottsdale on Indian Bend Rd. I went to the Revel website to send in an inquiry to take a tour and I got a call from a leasing consultant by the name of Stuart "Stu" Roush within the hour. He gave me a brief community overview on the phone and set up an up an appointment for us to tour the beautiful community and all of its amazing amenities. From the moment I met Stuart Roush at Revel, I knew my mom was in good hands. Stu welcomed us warmly, he gave us a thoughtful tour and truly listened to my mom’s concerns about moving from a single-family home into a senior community. He was incredibly patient and compassionate, introducing her to other residents with similar life experiences and showing her that this next chapter could still be full of life and connection. Stu went far beyond what we expected. He invited my mom to activities, arranged overnight stays so she could experience the community, and checked in often especially during the difficult holiday season after losing my dad. His kindness, patience, and genuine care helped my mom slowly regain confidence and envision a new life for herself. This past weekend, after 5 months of consideration, she officially moved in, and she is truly happy. I don’t believe this transition would have happened without Stu’s support. We are incredibly grateful for him and consider him part of our family now and a dear friend.

The minute we walked into Revel Scottsdale, we liked it. After meeting with Gwen , having a delightful meal and taking the tour we decided it would be our new home. We are looking forward to moving in soon and getting to know the happy residents and taking advantage of all the services it has to offer.

I recently toured Revel Scottsdale for my mom and cannot say enough wonderful things about it and especially the staff. Stuart Roush was professional, attentive, and is genuinely invested in the residents and their families. The community is beautiful and everyone we met, including residents, were so welcoming. The staff, including the salon and the restaurant (Christina and the Chef), have a sincere interest in the well-being of their residents.

I recently visited the Revel Scottsdale for a Blue Zones culinary tour event . What a beautiful facility! The chef prepared recipes from the Blue Zones American Kitchen cookbook: Sancocho Soup, Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos and Black Bean & Cactus Tostadas. Everything was delicious and everyone was so nice!
