La Siena

909 E Northern Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85020
Overview of La Siena

La Siena is on E Northern Ave in north Phoenix, where a Walk Score of 61 puts it in moderately walkable territory; some day-to-day errands reachable without a car, though most trips still require one. The mid-rise building carries 111 beds across one- and two-bedroom floor plans and has been in operation for 11 years, which is a meaningful tenure for an assisted living community in a competitive Phoenix market.

Staffing runs on licensed nurses and CNAs. The profile lists three named programs: Cuisine, Resident Stories, and Living Choices, which suggest a community that has organized its lifestyle and dining offerings around defined programming structures rather than ad hoc scheduling. State inspections, overseen by the Arizona Department of Health Services Bureau of Long Term Care Licensing, have covered staffing and staff credentials, care planning and documentation, housekeeping and upkeep, and fall and injury prevention.

The profile here is lean outside of structural and regulatory data, but what it confirms is consistent: an 111-bed mid-rise assisted living community in north Phoenix, operating for over a decade, with licensed nursing staff and a location that offers a reasonable balance of urban access and residential character. For families working through assisted living options in the northern Phoenix area, La Siena’s operating history and building scale are the grounding facts to start with.

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.
