Vi at Grayhawk

7501 E Thompson Peak Pkwy, Scottsdale, AZ 85255
Overview of VI at Grayhawk

VI at Grayhawk operates in Scottsdale as a continuum-care community spanning nursing home, skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, and memory care. The address is 7501 E Thompson Peak Pkwy. Medicare and private pay are accepted. Walk Score of 8 means the area is car-dependent; groceries, pharmacy, and most services require a vehicle.

Occupancy runs at 36.7%, notably low for Arizona nursing communities. Residents average 86 days.

Total nursing hours hit 4 hours 46 minutes per resident daily: 1 hour 25 minutes RN, 1 hour 8 minutes LPN, 2 hours 45 minutes CNA; that’s 14% above the Arizona average. Physical therapy alone provides 16 minutes per resident daily (167% above state average). Weekend RN coverage doesn’t drop; it stays at 1 hour per day, when many facilities cut back.

Total headcount: 117 staff including 11 full-time RNs, 18 LPNs, and 63 CNAs. Staff per resident runs 116% above the Arizona average. This is a heavily staffed operation.

Over five years, 8 deficiencies and 4 health citations (all corrected). The facility ranks first in Arizona for citations per inspection at 1.33 versus the 3.82 state average. But recent findings point to specific execution gaps: a resident fall from incorrect gait belt use during transfer, unsafe oxygen tubing placement, and infection control lapses. These aren’t systemic patterns; they’re moments where protocol broke down despite available staff.

VI at Grayhawk reads as over-resourced for its current patient volume. The staffing depth, weekend coverage, and therapy allocation suggest a facility built for high acuity or large census that isn’t materializing. For short-stay post-acute or memory care requiring robust staffing, capacity exists. For families seeking a high-staffing model in a lower-occupancy setting, the operational math works.

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.
