Overall Review of Tempe Post Acute
common
22 reviews mention this
Staff kindness is a constant
Residents and families most often describe staff as kind, responsive, and supportive.
Across reviews, people repeatedly say the staff is friendly and willing to help, and several mention feeling comfortable or reassured during stressful recovery periods. Some comments also highlight teamwork and communication among caregivers, describing fewer “cracks” left behind. A smaller set of reviews contradicts this, describing delays and episodes where call lights or requests were not answered promptly, so the day-to-day experience appears inconsistent for some families.

Cleanliness gets mixed reports
Cleanliness is praised often, but some reviews report unpleasant room and facility conditions.
Many reviewers describe the building as clean, including comments about no lingering smells and a well-kept facility. Several also mention comfort and a positive overall atmosphere when they visited or were there for care. However, other reviews report issues like dirty rooms or bathrooms, odors in hallways, bugs/ants, and concerns about housekeeping consistency. Because both patterns show up, cleanliness seems to vary depending on location or time.

14 reviews mention this
Care response time is debated
Some residents report missed or delayed help, especially when call lights are used.
A recurring negative theme in multiple reviews is slow response when help is requested, including episodes described as waiting hours or call buttons not being answered. Several of these accounts connect the delays to serious outcomes or major family distress. Other reviews, in contrast, describe smooth, attentive care and say daily needs were met, which suggests support can be dependable for some residents but not for everyone.
