For over 40 years, Bella Vista has provided an unrivaled, unmatched, and worry-free lifestyle for many families in Mesa– garnering many trust of families over the decades.
As a proud member of the Park Avenue Lifestyle group, life at Bella Vista residents are able to discover endless opportunities in the community. The community boasts their support system as they ensure that companionship is not only provided by the care staff but through the resident’s visiting family members; where family members are given access keys for planned or spontaneous visits for their dear ones– who are allowed to visit anytime before 8:30 P.M. everyday.

North Scottsdale’s VI at Silverstone operates 24 beds as part of a Life Plan Community under Cc-Silverstone, Inc, with Andrew Quinn serving as administrator. The facility at 23005 N 74th Street provides skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care for Medicare and private-pay residents, averaging 66 days per stay.
The facility maintains 84% occupancy, surpassing Arizona’s average, and holds a 5-star CMS rating driven by health inspection performance 44.9% above state benchmarks and staffing levels 44.5% above average. Daily nursing care reaches 5 hours 39 minutes per resident; the fourth-highest in Arizona.
Amenities encompass fitness facilities, dining, pet-friendly housing, and multiple unit configurations from one to three bedrooms.
Inspection history since 2023 reveals recurring compliance challenges despite strong structural ratings. Seven inspections yielded 11 deficiencies (matching state average), four complaints (33% fewer than state), zero enforcement actions, and zero critical or serious citations.
Yet deficiency patterns repeat: infection control dominates at 40% of findings, alongside abuse prevention gaps and pharmacy compliance issues. March 2025 illuminates the pattern: a compliance survey on the 13th documented five deficiencies covering infection control oversight, drug labeling, and administrator policies; the Medicare recertification on the 17th reported zero deficiencies.
Falls with major injury run 6.9% (227% worse than state). Incontinence rates hit 30.9% in low-risk long-stayers, 48% above benchmark. Yet depression registers at 0% (100% better), antipsychotic use at 1.7% (83% better), and weight loss at 2.4% (56% better), signaling strong behavioral and nutritional management.
Short-stay residents excel: zero antipsychotic initiation (100% better), 65.1% successful discharge to home or community, and strong vaccination compliance at 96% for influenza.
Financially, the facility reports $1.9 million net income and 25.2% profit margin. Yet payroll consumes just 16.4% of $38.6 million revenue; the lowest ratio statewide and 70% below well-managed peer facilities.

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 575 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.
