MorningStar of Fountain Hills offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Fountain Hills, AZ. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while a resident maintains a private living space, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering. Respite care is available for short stays, which can give a family caregiver time away or time to recover.

Assisted living and memory care are available within the same community. That may suit a resident whose care needs could grow over time. The community has 105 beds and offers studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom residences, with the larger layouts able to accommodate a couple or a resident who wants a companion.

The starting price is $5,175 per month, giving families an initial figure for monthly budgeting. Pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a pet when moving in. The area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, which can allow a resident who no longer drives to complete occasional outings independently.

Wellness and fitness programs support exercise activities. The dining program includes low sodium, sugar free, vegetarian, low fat, gluten free, and dairy free options for residents with those dietary needs. MorningStar of Fountain Hills may be a good fit for a resident who needs assisted living or memory care now and may need more support over time, as well as for someone seeking a short respite stay.

Starting Price $5,175/Month

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.
