BEEHIVE HOMES OF MARANA

Our family is completely appreciative of the entire Bee Hive staff as they are providing excellent and compassionate care of my mother. When researching where to place my mom, I was instantly put at ease by house manager Ms. Joey and Ms. Terry when I visited Bee Hive for the first time. I knew I had found the right place for our mom! Over these months we have seen our mother become engaged in things again and that is because her needs are being met daily by Bee Hive's care givers. Joey is communicating with me about mom's health and has offered solutions to issues that have come up with mom. She is a hands-on facility manager and I have witnessed her working in the kitchen and assisting her staff as they all work together to care for all their residents. I have connected with Terry and find that she is the right care giver for my mom - her approach to taking care of my mom is just like me! Morgan, Nellie, Levi and Jessa are very attentive to mom as well. This home is the safest and cleanest place for our mother and we have been very pleased with everything!

My mother is a resident there , she has been there for about 16 months. Joey and her staff are amazing with the residents, Terry always is getting them involved in crafts and playing bingo and this is one of the cleanest places I have seen. They are the most caring staff.

*Update: Beware of any reviews, after my initial review, which highlights the manager's marvelous care. It's obvious to me that it was created by her or someone she knows. It is indicative of how she handles stress, lacks accountability, and her unprofessionalism. I will agree that the caregivers, aside from the one mentioned, are wonderful and truly care for the residents. Unfortunately, some don't stay long due to the concerns stated. My mom has been at this facility for almost a year. We received a 30-day vacate notice from the manager yesterday. Her reason for the vacate was due to my mom's level of care and their inability to care for her. My mom's level of care has not changed to a level of care that they are unable to meet. She recently had a routine care assessment meeting with the manager, caseworker, and I, and this was never brought up. The real reason, I believe, for the eviction is because a caseworker and myself submitted a report to Adult Protective Services (APS) regarding a current caregiver that has been mistreating my mom by displaying aggression, scolding her, withholding snacks, and limiting her water at the table. My mom is a diabetic and is administered two different types of insulins. Because of this, there is a possibility of her blood sugar dropping to a dangerous level. Aside from the diabetes, my mom has kidney disease. Her nephrologist has requested that she increase her water intake. The manager was informed of this and also the inadequate amount of water offered to my mom during her meals. Mind you, this is the 2nd time Beehive has been reported to APS in less than a year regarding the same caregiver. The first report was by a previous employee who specifically stated mistreatment of my mom and other residents by the same individual. Naturally, the manager labeled her as a disgruntled ex- employee. I have received statements from other caregivers validating some of the same concerns as the previous employee's report. Hence, my decision to file a report with APS. Aside from this particular individual's behavior and the manager turning a blind eye, they have continously had a high turnover rate of employees, with more than one employee, naming this individual's behavior as one of the reasons they chose to end their employment with Beehive. If you are looking to place your loved one in a facility, I would highly recommend that you look elsewhere.

My mother-in-law is a resident and will soon be an ex-resident. We initially believed that this would be a good place for her. Over time, and with frequent visits, we have seen what most people don't. We have also been informed by employees of mistreatment toward my mother-in-law and other residents by a particular caregiver. There was one particular incident that happened between this caregiver and my mother-in-law. The caregiver tried to take a comforter from my mother-in-law and kept saying it didn't belong to her. When my mother-in-law wouldn't let her take it, the caregiver became aggressive with her. She caused my mother-in-law emotional distress. This situation should have been handled better. Why get my mother-in-law upset and then ask my wife to verify if it is indeed her comforter? Why not verify first and then respond in a caring way? When this was mentioned during my mother-in-law's care plan meeting with her casemanger and the manager. The manager and the caregiver's interactions with my wife changed. The manager even complained to my wife that my mother-in-law was wasting food because she would ask for a peanut butter or grilled cheese sandwich instead of what they are serving. This wasn't an issue before. My wife tried to help them by sometimes bringing my mother-in-law home cooked food. Since the filing of a report with Adult Protective Services, my mother-in-law has been asked to vacate. They don't like to be held accountable for their actions. If you plan on bringing your love one to this facility, please visit often and advocate for your loved one. This facility would be a wonderful place if they made a change with these two employees.

Joey is an amazing manager and truly cares about her residents. She’s in the know with docs and nurses and that come in and out of building, and makes sure the families are up to date with the care loved ones receive. Not often do you see a house manager work on the floor and do one on one care for residents, or working in the kitchen like Joey does. Amazing activities for the residents to keep everyone involved. The staff really knows what their doing and definitely do what they love. The place is CLEAN. Way cleaner than any facility I’ve ever seen. The meals are great (plus the desserts too), they cater to certain dietary needs/requirements to ensure everyone is getting what they need. Truly any negative review must be unhappy people with themselves because what MY loved one has received is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Highly recommend to anyone looking for their loved one❤️❤️
