Overview of Clarendale Arcadia

Clarendale Arcadia offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Phoenix, Arizona. Independent living means having a private home with community services and no daily care, while assisted living provides help with bathing, dressing, and medication while the resident keeps an apartment.

Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having all three care levels in one community can allow a resident’s support to change over time without requiring a move elsewhere.

The community has 118 beds, with studios, one bedroom apartments, and two bedroom apartments. Monthly starting prices are $3,195 for independent living, $4,195 for assisted living, and $4,800 for memory care, giving families a separate starting point for budgeting at each level.

There is a pool for swimming, and respite care is available for short stays when a family caregiver needs time away to travel or recover. With a Walk Score of 63, the area is somewhat walkable, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to handle some errands on foot. Cristian Mendez-Escobar serves as the administrator.
