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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Arizona

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. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Arizona Medicaid cover memory care?

Arizona Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 343 memory care communities in Arizona. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in Arizona?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Arizona, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting memory care communities in Arizona?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
