Sunrise at River Road

4975 North 1St Avenue, E River Rd, Tucson, AZ 85718
Overview of Sunrise at River Road

Fourteen years in, Sunrise at River Road is still doing the same basic job: 110 beds of assisted living and memory care in Tucson’s Foothills Heights neighborhood. It’s a three-story building at 4975 North 1st Avenue. You can get a studio, a one-bedroom, or a two-bedroom, depending on what you need. The area has a Walk Score of 49, so it’s not a place where you can skip having a car, but a short walk covers a few errands.

There’s rehab services, respite care, and short-term rehab stays, plus licensed nurses and CNAs on staff 24 hours a day. It means the building isn’t just set up for one kind of resident. Someone recovering from surgery can use the short-term rehab track, and someone who needs ongoing memory care support has a place here too.

On the lifestyle side, there’s a bistro with grab-and-go snacks available throughout the day, outdoor spaces, a beauty salon, and a private dining room for celebrations. There’s also a running program covering music, fitness, art, and continued learning, so the calendar isn’t left blank between meals. Pets are allowed, which is worth knowing if that’s a dealbreaker for your family.

Arizona’s Department of Health Services, Bureau of Long Term Care Licensing handles inspections here. The themes that come up are pretty standard for the industry: emergency preparedness, environmental and hazardous-materials safety, care planning and documentation, and dietary and food service.

Pricing starts at $2,918 a month and goes up from there depending on the unit and level of care. Corrinne Quezada administers the community, and it’s legally operated by Ms River Road Sh, LLC. Put the pieces together and you get a mid-sized Tucson community built for two overlapping groups: people who need assisted living day to day, and people who need memory care, with a rehab track available for anyone passing through on a shorter stay.

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.
