Dear Sam,
My husband Dave and I want to thank you for the incredible home you have created at Senior Sanctuary of Anthem where my Mom is a very happy resident. When we needed to make a very quick decision on where to place Mom when Dad had a sudden fall which was ultimately fatal, you and your staff made yourselves available very quickly to show us two properties to choose from. Both would have been more than adequate, but Mom chose based on her particular preferences. You had the room ready in two days, decorated with her in mind: a beautiful color on the walls, artwork reflecting Mom’s love of flowers, and especially pansies, fresh new bedding, a brand new recliner suited to her size, and even a personalized welcome sign on her bedroom door. That attention to detail and concern for her emotional needs has continued to be a hallmark of her experience at Senior Sanctuary. From the very first day that Mom moved in, she has been treated with the utmost respect, dignity, kindness and frankly, genuine love. We are amazed at how easy the transition has been for her and we thank God because that was not what we anticipated. Your team has encouraged her to be up and dressed in the morning, share meals with the other residents, participate in the activities and enjoy all the people, both the residents and the staff. Before coming to Senior Sanctuary, Mom, who suffers from dementia, was not inclined to socialize, eat healthfully, take her medication on a timely basis or use proper hygiene. Now because of the great care she is receiving at Senior Sanctuary of Anthem, Mom is healthier and more peaceful than she has been in years. The Senior Sanctuary staff is also kind to Mom’s family members. We are always welcomed by friendly faces, updated with details about anything new related to Mom’s health or behavior and invited to participate in whatever is going on while we are there. We are so pleased to see the variety of fun activities and special celebrations that take place frequently such as birthdays, a festive Cinco de Mayo lunch and a recent luau complete with leis and inflatable palm trees! Mom had such a good time…and then you kindly sent photos so we could see for ourselves the joy on her face!
Your house manager Carlos has been a most appreciated extra benefit. He keeps track of Mom’s medications, communicates with us when she is getting low on something and keeps meticulous records, which helps us in our communications with her myriad doctors. His compassion for Mom was demonstrated one day when I was taking her out for lunch and he noticed that she had a spot on her blouse from breakfast. He literally ran to her closet to pull out a different, clean top that matched her pants and shoes so that she wouldn’t leave the house looking less than her best. To me that spoke volumes about his concern for her well-being and happiness.
We are also grateful for your relationship with Jana Hower, the nurse practitioner who visits the house on a regular basis to check in on each resident and monitor their overall health. Jana has been a valuable resource every month, but especially when Mom recently had a heart-related incident. Jana immediately ordered the appropriate tests and called me to fill me in on all the details. It was such a comfort to know that a professional was looking out for Mom and that the caregivers were all there to comfort Mom in her distress when we couldn’t be there.
We have heard many stories of unhappy housing and care situations for seniors and we feel so incredibly blessed that our Mom’s life at Senior Sanctuary of Anthem has been 100% different than those. We honestly can’t think of any negatives or complaints. When we ask Mom how she likes living there, she literally says she loves it and refers to it as her home. That is the greatest gift you could ever give us! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Anthem Senior Manor has been amazing. The staff is what you look for and evaluate at these types of facilities. Then you look to the environment, including the Home itself, the amenities, and the activities that are coordinated. This home checks all the boxes. We have had experiences in the past, and this one surpasses all the other homes that we have encountered.
Definitely an A+. Very professional very personal, very clean and very organized. I would recommend you visiting Anthem Senior Manor before you place a loved one. We feel Mom is safe and well taken care of.
My mother was a resident at Senior Sanctuary of Anthem and my family and I were extremely impressed with the experience during my mother’s stay. The home and grounds are absolutely gorgeous and are kept immaculate and sparkling clean. I would visit my mother daily at different times and all areas of the house were always spotless and orderly. The staff at Senior Sanctuary are top-notch caring individuals. As soon as my mom arrived, she was made to feel at home and was pampered by the staff. The staff went out of their way to make her feel welcomed and safe, from preparing her favorite meal to small things like putting fresh flowers and her favorite candy in her room. The decision to place a loved one into a senior facility is never an easy task, but I would highly recommend Senior Sanctuary of Anthem. The caring staff, personalized care, and beautiful home make the process much easier. Thank you for taking such great care of my mom!
When my brother’s care plan suddenly changed and I was faced with finding him a new facility to meet his expanding medical needs, I was worried I wouldn’t find him just the right fit, one that could meet his needs but still be a home environment where he’d be comfortable, well cared for and safe.
Anthem Senior Manor was one of the facilities that came highly recommended. It was very important that I could keep his primary care, Jana, and I would be able to do that here. I called and scheduled a visit. I was impressed the minute I stepped through the front door. I was met with a welcoming, bustling home, greeted by friendly caregivers and happy residents participating in a variety of activities.
I talked with Sam Ile, the owner, who was open, honest and answered all my questions. He didn’t bat an eye at my brother’s needs and even suggested he would furnish his room with a high end hospital bed that would enable my brother’s participation in his mobility and a sense of independence. I met Tracey & Carlos (the managers) and the three caregivers working that day. I was immediately struck by how welcoming, friendly and family oriented everyone was. There was a lot going on, everyone was busy working (separately and together) getting things done and making sure everyone was having their needs met.
Since my brother’s move to Anthem Senior Manor (I thank my lucky stars that they had one bedroom open) I cannot thank Sam, Tracey, Carlos and the wonderful caregivers for their exceptional care and welcoming John into the family. I always know how he’s doing and what he’s been up to. They have all gone above and beyond my expectations. They have made every effort to get to know him and participate in his ever changing medical needs. The communication lines are always open and that’s very important, especially where a loved one is concerned.
I feel so fortunate that John has found his home at Anthem Senior Manor. He’s happy, participating in activities and is surrounded by truly caring people who have his best interests in mind.
Anthem Senior Living has exceeded all expectations for our mom’s care! From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with warmth, professionalism, and genuine compassion. Sam and his caring staff truly go above and beyond to ensure every resident feels comfortable, safe, and loved.
Our mom has not only received excellent medical attention, but she’s also become part of a close-knit community that feels like family. The home is gorgeous and impeccably clean, and the home-cooked meals are truly wonderful. There are daily activities and constant attention—our mom is never left alone and is thoughtfully assisted with all her needs.
Moving her from a large facility to this warm, welcoming home 🏡 has been the best decision for her and our entire family. We now rest easy knowing she is receiving the highest level of compassion and care every single day.
Anthem Senior Living is truly exceptional. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely cares about the residents’ well-being. The environment feels more like a close-knit community than a facility. It’s clean, welcoming, and full of thoughtful details that make a big difference (like a red carpet entrance!). Every aspect of care is handled with professionalism and compassion. Knowing mom is in such good hands brings a real peace of mind. Highly recommend Anthem Senior Living to anyone looking for quality senior care with heart.
Our family cannot speak highly enough about Anthem Senior Living! Sam and his amazing team from the start have been welcoming, caring, supportive, compassionate and professional. Mom was living alone in another state and when it was time to ensure her daily care needs would be met, we had concerns with finding a place we could trust for mom who deserves to live out her life with the very best care in a clean, loving, compassionate environment. We started to search for an AFH and we met with Sam and his team and knew right away that mom would be in great hands….and the home is beautiful and clean. Sam and his team helped every step of the way to ensure a smooth transition. When we arrived, Sam and his team greeted mom with a warm and loving welcome. Mom was resistant to leave her home of 58 years and we did not know what to expect, but after a couple of weeks in her new home she told us that she should have done this 2-years ago, which was so great to hear! Mom loves the attention and the care she receives, loves the meals, having her hair and nails done and massages! Mom is no longer alone and we appreciate how Anthem Senior Living staff fosters a strong sense of comradery among the residents. Mom is happy and looks great given all the care and attention she receives daily! We are so thankful that we found this beautiful and loving place for mom and we will forever be grateful to Sam and his team who we now consider our extended family! We sincerely recommend Anthem Senior Living for your loved one!
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Sam at Anthem Senior Living, and I must say, the experience has been exceptional! The facility is immaculate, warm, and inviting, but what truly sets it apart is the compassionate and professional team.

If you’re seeking a trusted and nurturing environment for your loved one, look no further than Anthem Senior Living. Sam and the entire team will treat them like family.
Five stars aren’t enough – I’d give them ten if I could!
