Its three-story building holds 115 units, split between studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, and the community covers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in one place. Seven years in, it’s past the early-days phase and into a steadier rhythm.

Walkability here lands right in the middle. With a Walk Score of 53, some errands are doable on foot, and others still need a car. That middle-ground setup shows up inside too, where the amenities split evenly between mental engagement and physical movement. There’s an art studio, a library, and a music room for residents who’d rather stay in, plus walking paths and courtyards for those who want to step outside.

Support services cover the basics that let daily life run smoothly: housekeeping, maintenance, cleaning, and transportation, so getting somewhere doesn’t depend on family being free that day. A fitness and recreation program adds structure to the week. Marcia Turner runs the community day-to-day, and Chandler 2 Operator, LLC owns it.

Like every licensed assisted living facility in Arizona, this one gets inspected by the state’s Department of Health Services through its Bureau of Long Term Care Licensing. Past reviews have centered on a few recurring areas: emergency preparedness, how hazardous materials get handled, and how care gets documented.

Put together, the picture is a mid-sized community built for people who want structure without losing options, with three housing sizes, transportation covered, and a real split between indoor and outdoor space.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Arizona

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Arizona?

Assisted living in Arizona supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Arizona?

Assisted living in Arizona is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Arizona Medicaid cover assisted living?

Arizona Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Arizona) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 561 assisted living facilities in Arizona. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Arizona?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Arizona, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Arizona?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
