Overview of Mountain View Care Home

Mountain View Care Home provides assisted living and memory care in Surprise, Arizona, in the Mountain Vista Ranch neighborhood. The home opened in 2003.

Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while supporting a resident’s own living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having both care levels may make Mountain View Care Home a good fit for a resident whose needs could grow over time.

Room options include private, semi-private, and individual accommodations. A family can consider whether a resident needs a room alone or is comfortable sharing. Pets are allowed, so a resident may continue living with a pet.

An Activities Director organizes board and card games, bingo, puzzles, karaoke, crafts, baking, movie nights, group exercise classes, Bible study, and pet therapy. Residents have scheduled ways to join recreation and group activities. The back porch and patio are accessible 24/7 for outdoor use.

A Walk Score of 36 places the area in a car-dependent band. Most errands require a car or a ride, so a resident who no longer drives would need transportation for routine trips.

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.
