Assisted Living, Independent Living & Memory Care · Peoria, AZ
Garden Ridge Senior Living operates as a large-scale community in Peoria at 18170 N 91St Ave: 259 beds across independent living, assisted living, and memory care. RIDGES AT PEORIA, LLC owns it; Holly Vandermate administers, with George Bakhit leading operations. The building is two stories with one and two-bedroom units (760 to 1,034 square feet). The facility’s been open 6 years.
Walk Score 61 means some walkable errands. Downtown Peoria is 6.7 miles away; the nearest hospital is 3.21 miles.
Staffing runs 24 hours with licensed nurses, CNAs, and a 24/7 on-call RN. Physician visits and wellness checks happen regularly. Medication supervision and daily living assistance cover the expected range: dressing, bathing, hygiene, mobility. The property lists amenities comprehensively: garden, housekeeping, laundry, wellness program, library, courtyards, recreational room, outdoor pool, patio, covered parking.
Meals are three homemade daily plus snacks. Pets are allowed. Transportation services are available.
Over three years, 7 complaints filed (17% above Arizona average) with 2.3 per year (15% above state average). The facility triggered 12 total inspections; 140% above the Arizona norm.
The most recent complaint found a deficiency for “failing to ensure resident dignity and respect.” That’s not a narrow compliance issue; that’s a care culture question. A prior annual inspection cited four deficiencies: uncertified caregiver, pet licensing and vaccination failures. An off-site level-of-care inspection found no problems.
Garden Ridge is a newer facility in a competitive market with elevated complaint activity and inspections above normal. The dignity-and-respect deficiency combined with staffing certification gaps suggests basic operational discipline issues that extend beyond a single audit.
