Clearwater Pinnacle Peak
Clearwater Pinnacle Peak sits on N Scottsdale Rd in north Scottsdale, in the upper reaches of the city where a Walk Score of 37 means most daily life happens by car. The two-story building is four years old; newer construction by the standards of the assisted living market, with 149 beds and floor plans spanning studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms.
The service picture here covers both short- and longer-term care needs: rehabilitation services, short-term rehab, respite care, short-term stays, and 24-hour staffing with licensed nurses and CNAs are all listed. Named programs include Empowered Living, Savor Culinary, and Therapy Services. Dining operates across multiple venues, chef-driven and built around fresh ingredients.
Inspections overseen by the Arizona Department of Health Services Bureau of Long Term Care Licensing have touched on medication management, staffing and staff credentials, environmental and hazardous-materials safety, care planning and documentation, and housekeeping and upkeep; a cross-section of operational areas that spans clinical and physical plant concerns. Four years into operation, Clearwater Pinnacle Peak is a newer-build north Scottsdale assisted living community with a broad service range, a multi-venue dining program, and a floor plan mix that accommodates different household configurations within a single building.
