There is no other choice for Independent Senior Living!

When we decided to look at Independent Senior Living facilities, Revel McDowell Mt. was on our list. After we had our appointment here, there was no reason to see any others - our choice was made! We felt comfortable from the moment we entered the lobby. The staff was amazing - answered all our many questions and made us feel comfortable. The residents were so welcoming - everyone had a smile and a "welcome" for us. We took advantage of the offered "staycation" to get an overnight feel for the facility and that just cemented our decision. Revel has many options for housing, but we chose the "Cottage", a cluster of ground level attached units on the perimeter of the campus, because it offered a little more outdoor space and a one car garage. We've been here just about a month now and we really feel at home. There are so many fun activities and the food is absolutely fantastic! We highly recommend Revel at McDowell Mt.

I am interested in a winter stay, [removed]showed my sister and I the facilities at Revel. We were thoroughly impressed!

When I heard about Revel from a friend, I was excited to take my sister who lives in Scottsdale with me. I am from North Dakota and want to rent for the winter. When we met with [name removed], he said that was possible. We set up a date to tour the facility and have lunch. It was amazing. Everything I would ever need all in one place. The restaurant serves top chef meals too. [name removed] arranged an overnight stay and it allowed me to really check Revel out and visit with guests to get their feedback. Everyone was very positive about their time spent there. Revel will be my home in the winters in the upcoming years. Thank you to [name removed] and the other staff members for making me feel so at home.

Love our new Home at Revel McCormick Mountain

The staff at Revel is wonderful! Plenty of activities and the food is Very Good! You can eat at 2 different places within and most anytime of the day until 7 PM. There is a Bar, too. The gym is complete, large, with classes and/or a lot of machines. This is a very nice facility with friendly residents and staff! Happy we are here!

Things to know before moving in

I am saying 3 on some of these because although the staff is very friendly and my Mom had met some great people there has been some issues: -Reduced the number of included Lyft rides with less than 60 days notice -Ongoing issues with not having hot water in the apartments -Inconsistencies with the shuttle van being available for medical appointments

Thoughts about my seasonal stay at Revel McDowell Mountain

Favorite things about Legacy Revel: • Incredibly friendly and helpful people from the initial concierge service/administrators at the front desk to the kitchen staff and servers...to the maintenance people...and bus driver/guide....everyone is very courteous and makes you very welcome. • The long-term tenants are also incredibly engaging and welcoming to a newcomer...and are a lovely lively fun group of people. • The food is truly ‘remarkable’...I’m a bit of a foodie...and enjoyed the food so much that one of my requirements for returning is that same Chef be in house; truly...whether it was breakfast on the patio...lunch/dinner in the ‘pub’ area... fine dinning in the dining room...or appies at the integration/welcoming newcomers’ gatherings the food always impressed...and the service is attentive and ‘fun’...and the wine is priced as a bargain!! • And all the facilities are immaculately looked after...the rooms are well appointed with top quality appliances, and there are innumerable

Nice community

The only negative so far and several other residents have commented is the kitchen cabinets are too high. You need a step stool to reach which is not good for older people. And all of the activities are listed through Cubigo an online platform. It would be helpful to have a printed calendar for older residents who are not tech savvy.

Great tour and good food!

I recently took a tour of Revel Legacy in preparation for finding my Dad a community to move to. He has been very hesitant to visit any communities because he was "not ready". Right when we walked in, I sensed my Dad's attitude shift. We were greeted so warmly by the front desk and the salesperson clued right in on an approach that would work with him. The community is beautiful with lots of things to do for the people that live there. We had lunch and my Dad had an "Old Fashion" that he said went down quite smoothly. A few of the people that live there came over and introduced themselves and said he should come back for the live music and happy hour on Wednesday. It felt so good to see him interact with them as he has been so lonely. He does not plan on moving until next year but now he is looking forward to it instead of dreading it. Thank you for that, Revel Legacy!

Life at Revel

I moved in to Revel in [date removed] and I love the whole atmosphere. It is so easy and convenient as I don’t have to worry about taking care of my home any more. I use the fitness studio everyday. The weekly trips are fun too. We have gone on day trips to Prescott, Old Tucson, Jerome and Sedona and we have a blast! A group of other residents and I are currently planning a cruise together through the Panama Canal. I enjoy the friendships I have made at Revel. And I look forward to making new connections.

Amazing salon experience!

This was my first time at Revel Legacy and I was blown away when I walked in. The concierge was delightful and friendly and directed me to the spa and salon where I had an appointment. I passed the bar and restaurant and it was so inviting. The pool area is gorgeous and the fitness studio was state of the art. I checked in for my appointment and was given a tour and the spa treatment room and salon were amazing. I had no idea you could get facials and massages at a retirement community. I got my hair highlighted and my hair turned out amazing! The salon also had a boutique selling the cutest fashions and jewelry. Can’t wait to come back for my next appointment.

An excellent tour.

Our tour director gave us a very personal and professional tour of Revel. She answered our questions and addressed our concerns in a friendly and informative manner. We found the facility clean, bright and beautifully decorated. She led us through a few of the cottages and apartments . We were impressed by the amount of light in each of the units. I especially enjoyed seeing some if the activities in action and was impressed by the great looking salt water pool. The staff and residents were friendly and greeted us with many smiles. We were able to enjoy a very delicious lunch in the dining room. All in all a very enjoyable tour.

Resort Living is an option in Scottsdale

I'm excited to offer the idea of Revel as an option for clients over 55 who want to downsize and spend more time living and less time maintaining a house and yard. The staff is friendly and lively and care about the residents. It is also good to know there is option before assisted living.

Review of Tour of Revel Legacy

The tour began with lunch (pizza and charcuterie board), followed by a tour of the facility including two model apartments. The complex was clean and fresh, the staff giving the tour were friendly and answered all questions. During the tour, we encountered three residents getting on and off the elevators. The staff engaged with them in a friendly manner. They appeared to know their residents. Stairs were also readily available. In touring the two smallest apartments, there seemed to be ample living space and sufficient storage. One would think that the monthly rental fee could be high but not when you consider that it includes utilities, dining points, housekeeping, transportation and more. Overall, the complex was like a resort with everything at your disposal.
