The building is single-story, has 10 beds, and has been open for six years. Kori K Zarinegar serves as administrator. Walk Score of 1 means this is a fully car-dependent location, and transportation is available through the community for residents who need to get somewhere.

Ten beds is the defining feature of this place. That’s not a wing of a larger facility. It’s a residential care home, and the care model reflects that.

Licensed nurses and CNAs cover staffing around the clock, with a doctor on staff and rehabilitation services available. Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s care are both confirmed specialty tracks, which matters for families whose loved one has a diagnosis that rules out a lot of general assisted living options. Pets are welcome. Chef-prepared meals are served on-site.

State inspections are overseen by Arizona’s Department of Health Services, Bureau of Long Term Care Licensing. Inspection themes have included medication management, environmental safety, care planning and documentation, and housekeeping and upkeep.

Across three inspections since 2023, the facility earned a composite score of 94 out of 100, substantially above the state average of 75; with only one recorded deficiency over the entire three-year window. Documentation shortcomings in 2023 resulted in two $500 fines, both paid, concerning staff training record completeness and resident evacuation route protocols. Complaint investigations totaled one; no immediate jeopardy, license suspension, or substantiated complaints have been documented.

Per-inspection deficiency rates stand at 0.3, placing the facility 83 percent above state average performance.

Care programming centers on mobility: staff follow a structured movement protocol to ensure residents engage in daily physical activity.

Memory care staff receive specialized training. Medical services span nursing support, rehabilitation, and partnerships with mobile clinical practitioners delivering cardiology, dentistry, podiatry, X-ray, and phlebotomy services on-site. Home health integration extends care.

Meal preparation emphasizes condition-specific nutrition, addressing hypertension and diabetes with balanced, flexible dining options in private rooms or the courtyard.

The physical setting comprises private and semi-private rooms connected by spacious hallways. Bathrooms feature grab bars. The landscaped grounds include mature fruit trees, a waterfall feature, and a wheelchair-accessible herb garden within a shaded courtyard.

Walk Score 54 indicates moderate walkability; the facility sits 4.2 miles from Phoenix’s city center in a residential area requiring car-dependent transit for most errands.

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.
