Jennifer is by far the most impressive employee whom I have met in my experience living here. Her appearance, attitude, strong character, willingness to listen, and follow through, are excellent qualities for Rancho Estates. She has made my stay here easy and comfortable, enabling my recovery to go smoothly!

My wife, Jennifer Bek, and I have looked at many memory care facilities in Tucson before we entered the front door of the Ranch Estates of Tucson. Our experience at the Ranch Estates has been far superior to any other facility that we have entered because of the people that we met on that very first day about three or four weeks ago.
When we walked in the door, we were approached by your sales director, Jennifer Peris. Because of her incredible warm, charismatic person we knew at that moment that we were in good hands. Mrs. Peris has the ability to listen and understand. Mrs. Peris treated us with courtesy, love, and true professional caring. Miss Peris is one of the most, if not the most, professional sales manager that we have met in our search for a safe environment for my wife to live in.
We also met Tippy at the front desk, who was most caring and loving in the way she approached us and welcomed us into the Ranch Estates of Tucson and then we met Anna Pitzlin, The life enrichment Manager. And then we met Felipe in maintenance. No matter what their position at the Ranch Estates is, each one had the same sincere and loving qualities of acceptance.
I want to especially thank Mrs Peris for the comfort given to me, the caregiver, each day as I am going thru the difficult transition. Mrs Perez is very skilled in her ability to understand at a deep level what both my wife and I are going through. Every day we entered the facility to discuss coming into the memory care unit Mrs Peris met us, talked to us and supported us. You are fortunate to have her on your staff. In fact, you are fortunate to have everyone that I mentioned and many others that I have not mentioned because they appear to be a team that treats everyone with dignity and respect.
My wife entered the memory care unit nearly 2 weeks ago now on August 31st. This transition has been extremely difficult for both my wife and myself. However, your staff understands that and comforts us every day. I can’t thank Mrs Peris and her team enough.

I had a fantastic experience with Ranch Estates of Tucson! They truly pulled everything together for my client and made the entire process incredibly smooth. The transition happened quickly, including a fast discharge from rehab, but everything was handled with professionalism and care.
The clinical team did an excellent job ensuring a safe admission, which gave me great confidence in their services. A special thank you to Melissa from the sales team—she made everything seamless and was a pleasure to work with.
I would absolutely refer clients here again. Highly recommend!

As someone who is in the business of helping Individuals or Familes in locating the best possible care options in Tucson, I understand choosing the right community or home, for a loved one is a huge decision, but The Ranch Estates of Tucson will make it an easy one. From the moment you walk in, it will not feel like a "facility"—its much more of a vibrant, welcoming neighborhood, that is completely capable of taking care of your Assited Living or Memory care needs.
The staff is exceptional. They don’t just provide care; they build real relationships with the residents. Whether it’s the nursing team’s patience or the dining staff remembering your personl dining choices, the attention to detail is unmatched.
The Care team is excellent, the executive team is awesome, from the Executive Director, thru Sales, and if your fortunate to work with Melissa Lake on your visits, do know, your in great hands, Melissa, not only is professional, she is extremely knowledgable in the challenges and issues, surrounding Dementia or Alzheimers needs, she just cares deeply, for her residents, and will work dilligently to make this transition a smooth one for you. You can't go wrong, in seriously considering The Ranch Estates for your loved ones or yourself.
