Overview of Clearwater Ahwatukee

Clearwater Ahwatukee offers assisted living and memory care in Phoenix, AZ. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while residents maintain their own apartments, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering. The two care levels can suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community, and Clearwater Ahwatukee may be a good fit for someone living with dementia who needs a secure, supervised setting.

The community has 163 beds and is located in the Ahwatukee Foothills Village neighborhood. A Walk Score of 48 places the area in a car-dependent setting, meaning most errands require a car or a ride for residents who no longer drive. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving in.

Residents can use a saltwater pool, landscaped outdoor spaces, a fitness center, a theater and an art studio. Multiple dining venues serve chef-driven dishes made with fresh ingredients, giving residents several settings for meals. Therapy services and rehabilitation are available, and respite care provides a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Belinda Radder serves as the administrator.
