Vi at Grayhawk

7501 E Thompson Peak Pkwy, Scottsdale, AZ 85255
Overview of VI at Grayhawk

VI at Grayhawk in Scottsdale, AZ, offers nursing home, assisted living, continuing care retirement community, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while a resident keeps an apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Having several care levels in one community can allow a resident’s needs to change over time without requiring a move elsewhere. With 36 beds, VI at Grayhawk is a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other.

The range of care settings may suit a resident whose support needs could grow over time, and the community may also fit someone living with dementia who needs a secured, supervised setting. Pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a pet when moving in. Payment options are Medicare and private pay.

Medicare covers shorter term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, while private pay means a family pays directly. Total nurse staffing is 5 hours 11 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nurse staffing time allocated per resident.

Overview of Vista Living Camelback

Ten beds is the first thing worth knowing about Vista Living Camelback, tucked into Phoenix’s Arcadia neighborhood at 5528 E Calle Tuberia in Maricopa County. Eight years in, under Executive Director Dean Hency, who’s logged more than two decades in healthcare leadership and holds a master’s in healthcare administration. Deborah L. Anderson runs day-to-day operations as administrator; Kyle Oura owns the place.

With just 10 residents at capacity, staff-to-resident contact tends to run closer than at larger communities, and this one leans into that: assisted living paired with a dedicated memory care track, including Alzheimer’s care specifically named among its programs. Walk Score lands at 36, so don’t expect to stroll to the pharmacy; most errands here need a car.

On the clinical side, licensed nurses and CNAs staff the building around the clock, backed by rehabilitation and respite services. Rooms are private, bathrooms are private, and showers are roll-in. Diabetic support and wellness visits round out the medical picture.

Meals come chef-prepared, three times daily, with dietary accommodations built in. There’s a garden, a backyard, and, oddly specific but true, a saltwater aquarium. Safety runs through a wireless pendant system with continuous staff monitoring.

State inspection activity at Vista Living has centered on staffing credentials, documentation and care planning, and fall prevention protocols, the kind of regulatory attention that tends to focus on process rather than on incidents of harm.

This is a small-footprint community built around close staff contact, dedicated memory care, and daily medical touchpoints, in a car-dependent stretch of Arcadia where the tradeoff is intimacy over walkability.

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.
