Sky Ridge Senior Living
Assisted Living & Memory Care · Gilbert, AZ
Sky Ridge Senior Living is four years old, a relatively young facility for this kind of care, but not a small one. The two-story building at 1445 E Willis Rd in Gilbert holds 121 beds across studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, covering both assisted living and memory care. Gilbert I Mls LLC owns the community, and Kyle F Hinckley serves as administrator. The Walk Score is 29, somewhat walkable, a few things reachable on foot, but most trips still mean a drive.
Day-to-day, care includes daily health checks and medication management, and that holds whether a resident is there for a short stay or settling in long-term. Scheduled local transportation is available on request, and each resident gets an activity calendar with a planned lineup of classes and outings, not a generic one-size-fits-all schedule. Pets are welcome, too.
On the regulatory side, inspections here, conducted by the Arizona Department of Health Services, have tended to center on three areas: staffing and staff credentials, care planning and documentation, and fall and injury prevention.
Sky Ridge Senior Living reads as a newer, sizable Gilbert community built around daily health monitoring and structured activity programming, with room options and stay lengths flexible enough to work for both short-term and long-term residents.
