McDowell Village
McDowell Village offers independent living, assisted living, and respite care in Scottsdale’s South Scottsdale neighborhood, with 98 beds. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication. Respite care offers a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
Having all three care types can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time, since moving to another care level can happen without leaving the community. Housing includes one bedroom and two bedroom homes. A two bedroom layout may work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion.
A Walk Score of 68 places the area in a somewhat walkable band, where some errands can be done on foot. A resident who no longer drives may be able to handle select nearby errands independently. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving in. Kristin Koga London serves as the administrator.
