Assisted Living, Independent Living & Memory Care · Phoenix, AZ

Overview of La Siena

La Siena is on E Northern Ave in north Phoenix, where a Walk Score of 61 puts it in moderately walkable territory; some day-to-day errands reachable without a car, though most trips still require one. The mid-rise building carries 111 beds across one- and two-bedroom floor plans and has been in operation for 11 years, which is a meaningful tenure for an assisted living community in a competitive Phoenix market.

Staffing runs on licensed nurses and CNAs. The profile lists three named programs: Cuisine, Resident Stories, and Living Choices, which suggest a community that has organized its lifestyle and dining offerings around defined programming structures rather than ad hoc scheduling. State inspections, overseen by the Arizona Department of Health Services Bureau of Long Term Care Licensing, have covered staffing and staff credentials, care planning and documentation, housekeeping and upkeep, and fall and injury prevention.

The profile here is lean outside of structural and regulatory data, but what it confirms is consistent: an 111-bed mid-rise assisted living community in north Phoenix, operating for over a decade, with licensed nursing staff and a location that offers a reasonable balance of urban access and residential character. For families working through assisted living options in the northern Phoenix area, La Siena’s operating history and building scale are the grounding facts to start with.
