Overview of Garden Ridge Senior Living

Garden Ridge Senior Living provides assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Peoria, Arizona. Assisted living includes help with dressing, bathing, hygiene, mobility, and other daily activities, while independent living is for residents who do not need daily care. Memory care provides close supervision in a more secure setting. Having all three care types may suit a resident whose needs change over time without requiring a move to another community.

Opened in 2006, Garden Ridge has 259 beds. Families are considering a larger community with more residents, staff, and usually more programming. Semi private and private rooms are available, so a resident can share a room or have one to themselves, and housing comes in one bed and two bed options.

Care services include nursing, physician visits, wellness checks, medication supervision, and help with daily activities. Outdoor sitting areas give residents places to spend time outside, while the pet policy allows them to keep a pet. Holly Vandermate serves as the administrator.

The area has a Walk Score of 61, meaning it is somewhat walkable and some errands can be completed on foot. A resident who no longer drives may therefore be able to manage limited nearby errands independently.
