Over two years, Vista Living has recorded 5 total deficiencies, averaging 1.7 per year-43 percent below the Arizona average of 3 per year.

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.
