Sky Ridge Senior Living is four years old, a relatively young facility for this kind of care, but not a small one. The two-story building at 1445 E Willis Rd in Gilbert holds 121 beds across studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, covering both assisted living and memory care. Gilbert I Mls LLC owns the community, and Kyle F Hinckley serves as administrator. The Walk Score is 29, somewhat walkable, a few things reachable on foot, but most trips still mean a drive.
Day-to-day, care includes daily health checks and medication management, and that holds whether a resident is there for a short stay or settling in long-term. Scheduled local transportation is available on request, and each resident gets an activity calendar with a planned lineup of classes and outings, not a generic one-size-fits-all schedule. Pets are welcome, too.
On the regulatory side, inspections here, conducted by the Arizona Department of Health Services, have tended to center on three areas: staffing and staff credentials, care planning and documentation, and fall and injury prevention.
Sky Ridge Senior Living reads as a newer, sizable Gilbert community built around daily health monitoring and structured activity programming, with room options and stay lengths flexible enough to work for both short-term and long-term residents.

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?
