Overview of The Terraces of Phoenix

Located at 7550 N 16th St in Phoenix, The Terraces of Phoenix occupies a neighborhood with a Walk Score of 62. This metric suggests a baseline of pedestrian utility for minor tasks, though the prevailing infrastructure still favors automotive transport. The physical plant is a two-story structure configured with 64 beds and a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom floor plans, currently operating at 67% occupancy.

The 38-day average length of stay functions as the primary diagnostic indicator for this facility. At thirty-eight days, the model is strictly post-acute.

This operational focus informs the staffing allocation. Daily nursing intensity is measured at 5 hours and 17 minutes per resident, comprising 1 hour and 12 minutes of RN time, 2 hours and 19 minutes from nurse aides, and 1 hour and 9 minutes of LPN/LVN coverage. The financial framework accommodates Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, ensuring compatibility with standard post-acute funding streams.

Regulatory oversight is provided by the Arizona Department of Health Services Bureau of Long Term Care Licensing. Official inspections have evaluated systematic protocols regarding infection control, emergency preparedness, staffing credentials, documentation accuracy, and the maintenance of resident protections.

909 E Northern Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85020
Overview of La Siena

La Siena is on E Northern Ave in north Phoenix, where a Walk Score of 61 puts it in moderately walkable territory; some day-to-day errands reachable without a car, though most trips still require one. The mid-rise building carries 111 beds across one- and two-bedroom floor plans and has been in operation for 11 years, which is a meaningful tenure for an assisted living community in a competitive Phoenix market.

Staffing runs on licensed nurses and CNAs. The profile lists three named programs: Cuisine, Resident Stories, and Living Choices, which suggest a community that has organized its lifestyle and dining offerings around defined programming structures rather than ad hoc scheduling. State inspections, overseen by the Arizona Department of Health Services Bureau of Long Term Care Licensing, have covered staffing and staff credentials, care planning and documentation, housekeeping and upkeep, and fall and injury prevention.

The profile here is lean outside of structural and regulatory data, but what it confirms is consistent: an 111-bed mid-rise assisted living community in north Phoenix, operating for over a decade, with licensed nursing staff and a location that offers a reasonable balance of urban access and residential character. For families working through assisted living options in the northern Phoenix area, La Siena’s operating history and building scale are the grounding facts to start with.

On the daily life side, the campus describes its dining as fresh, well-prepared food with multiple options. Activities listed in the facility’s overview include arts and crafts, film viewings, and religious programming.

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.
