Mountain Park Senior Living

Overview of Mountain Park Senior Living

Mountain Park Senior Living is an 86-bed retirement community at 4475 E Knox Road in Phoenix’s Ahwatukee Foothills Village neighborhood (Maricopa County, Arizona). Licensed as an Assisted Living Center and administered by Mackenzie Miner, the facility has operated for 6 years. The 3-story community offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans.

Services include directed care (capacity 20), personal care (capacity 72), and supervisory care alongside independent and assisted living options. An on-site restaurant features chef-prepared meals using fresh ingredients. Transportation services enable resident outings for activities, errands, and exploration of the surrounding area. Activity programming emphasizes fitness classes, educational programs, and enrichment activities supporting continued growth and social engagement.

The setting is reported to offer scenic mountain views and a quiet neighborhood environment with convenient access to shopping, entertainment, and healthcare. Verify dining options, transportation availability for specific destinations, and memory care programming details.

Regulatory compliance has been exceptionally strong. Since 2023, Mountain Park has recorded only 2 deficiencies across 4 inspections, averaging 0.7 per year-81 percent better than Arizona’s average of 3.7 per year. Both deficiencies, identified in May 2023, involved documentation in resident medical records: ensuring caregivers document services provided and that entries are dated, legible, and authenticated. All subsequent investigations-May 2024, December 2024, and August 2025-found zero deficiencies.

The facility received 4 complaints since 2023 (33 percent below state average), with all recent complaint investigations finding no substantiated violations. No fines, enforcement actions, or license actions have been issued. The record demonstrates prompt resolution of initial documentation practices and sustained compliance over two years.

Located 14.5 miles from downtown Phoenix and 6.55 miles from HonorHealth Tempe Medical Center, the facility sits in an area with a walk score of 44 (somewhat walkable; most trips require transportation). Arizona financial assistance programs available include ALTCS, Non-Medical Home and Community Based Services, Section 202 Supportive Housing, and the CARES Program.

Mountain Park’s recent inspection record and resolution of earlier documentation concerns suggest a facility maintaining effective compliance standards and responsiveness to regulatory feedback.

Mountain Park is suited for families seeking assisted living or memory care in the Ahwatukee Foothills area.
