Overview of Living Waters Assisted Living Home

Living Waters Assisted Living Home operates as a 10-bed community in Glendale, Arizona, at 5601 W Winnwood Ave. Four years in, it’s still early in its lifecycle. The single-story layout works with private and semi-private rooms, situated in what the profile calls a quiet country location with a Walk Score of 29; translation: you’re driving for most things. The community accepts Medicaid.

The facility runs with round-the-clock staffing and nursing services, which matters if you need medical oversight or rapid response. An RN is on-site. Residents get help with daily living tasks and individualized service plans. Medications are handled in-house.

The community offers hospice partnerships if end-of-life care becomes relevant. Meals are home-cooked and reviewed by a dietary consultant, which is a real distinction from institutional food services. There’s an outdoor courtyard with a gazebo if you want to be outside.

State inspections have centered on medication management, staff credentials, care planning, and facility upkeep rather than direct resident care. At 10 beds, this is a deliberately small operation: scaled for older adults who want intimate, hands-on care with a nurse present and the predictability of a home-like setting rather than a larger institutional environment.

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.
