Overview of Mountain Park Senior Living

Mountain Park Senior Living sits at 4475 E Knox Road, three stories, 86 beds, six years into operation under administrator Mackenzie Miner; Phoenix Senior Housing Leaseco owns it. The neighborhood itself is quiet, with mountain views, given where this sits in Phoenix.

Residents move between directed care, personal care, and supervisory care, plus straightforward independent and assisted living, all under one roof. A resident’s needs can shift over a few years, and this setup means that shift doesn’t automatically mean packing up and finding a new address. Memory care rounds out the offering. Floor plans run studio through two-bedroom.

A score of 44 puts this in “somewhat walkable” territory, so plan on driving for most errands rather than strolling. Inside, though, there’s an on-site restaurant doing chef-prepared meals with fresh ingredients, not a cafeteria situation. Transportation services cover outings and errands beyond the property line, which matters for a community set back from downtown.

Activities lean toward fitness classes, educational programming, and enrichment work, the kind of structure that keeps days from blurring together. On the regulatory side, state inspection attention here has centered on care planning and documentation, a routine category that shows up across assisted living oversight generally, not something unique to this address.

Mountain Park is a multi-tier care community built for residents who might need more support down the line, set in a quiet, mountain-adjacent pocket of Phoenix where getting around means driving, not walking.

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 337 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.
