Vi at Grayhawk

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

VI at Grayhawk in Scottsdale, AZ, offers nursing home, assisted living, continuing care retirement community, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while a resident keeps an apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Having several care levels in one community can allow a resident’s needs to change over time without requiring a move elsewhere. With 36 beds, VI at Grayhawk is a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other.

The range of care settings may suit a resident whose support needs could grow over time, and the community may also fit someone living with dementia who needs a secured, supervised setting. Pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a pet when moving in. Payment options are Medicare and private pay.

Medicare covers shorter term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, while private pay means a family pays directly. Total nurse staffing is 5 hours 11 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nurse staffing time allocated per resident.

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.

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.
