Overview of The Terraces of Phoenix

Located at 7550 N 16th St in Phoenix, The Terraces of Phoenix occupies a neighborhood with a Walk Score of 62. This metric suggests a baseline of pedestrian utility for minor tasks, though the prevailing infrastructure still favors automotive transport. The physical plant is a two-story structure configured with 64 beds and a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom floor plans, currently operating at 67% occupancy.

The 38-day average length of stay functions as the primary diagnostic indicator for this facility. At thirty-eight days, the model is strictly post-acute. The resident population is in a state of clinical transition, prioritizing recovery from acute hospitalization and preparation for discharge over long-term residential stability. This operational focus informs the staffing allocation. Daily nursing intensity is measured at 5 hours and 17 minutes per resident, comprising 1 hour and 12 minutes of RN time, 2 hours and 19 minutes from nurse aides, and 1 hour and 9 minutes of LPN/LVN coverage. The financial framework accommodates Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, ensuring compatibility with standard post-acute funding streams.

Regulatory oversight is provided by the Arizona Department of Health Services Bureau of Long Term Care Licensing. Official inspections have evaluated systematic protocols regarding infection control, emergency preparedness, staffing credentials, documentation accuracy, and the maintenance of resident protections.

For those navigating the logistics of a post-hospital transition in the Phoenix area, The Terraces of Phoenix offers a specific utility as a short-stay skilled nursing option characterized by apartment-style layouts and a high ratio of nursing hours.

Overview of Beatitudes Campus

Four and a half hours; that’s roughly how much total nursing care each resident at Beatitudes Campus gets per day, split across registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides. The building itself sits at 1610 W Glendale Avenue in Phoenix, a 72-bed, mid-rise community administered by Nina Louis, currently running at about 73% occupancy with 52 of those beds filled. The Walk Score comes in at 66, moderately walkable, enough that some errands don’t require a car and there’s a real mix of things nearby. Units come in one- and two-bedroom configurations.

Beatitudes Campus takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so families aren’t boxed into one financial path before they’ve even toured the place. On the care side, rehabilitation services and respite care are both available, useful for residents working back from an illness or injury, or for family caregivers who need a documented, short-term break.

There’s a fitness center, a library, outdoor space, and dedicated dining options, plus two named programs, Lifelong Learning and Spiritual Life, that give residents something to actually opt into rather than just occupy time.

Regulatory attention here has centered on a handful of recurring areas: staffing credentials, documentation and care planning, food service, resident rights, and fall prevention. What Beatitudes Campus offers, in the end, is a nursing-level care setting with a real staffing commitment behind it, broad payment access, and a daily life built around more than just medical need.

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 345 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.
