Overview of Vista Living Camelback

Vista Living Camelback is a 10-bed assisted living and memory care community at 5528 E Calle Tuberia in Phoenix’s Arcadia neighborhood (Maricopa County, Arizona). Licensed as an Assisted Living Home, the facility is led by Executive Director Dean Hency, who brings over 20 years of healthcare leadership experience and holds a master’s degree in healthcare administration. Administrator Deborah L Anderson and Owner Kyle Oura manage daily operations. The community has operated for 8 years and maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau (Not Accredited).

Pets are not permitted.

The facility offers 24-hour licensed nursing care alongside personal care, supervisory care, respite care, and rehabilitation services tailored to both assisted living and memory care residents. Residents occupy private rooms with private bathrooms and roll-in showers overlooking mountain views. Chef-prepared meals are served three times daily with dietary accommodations available. Services include housekeeping and weekly laundry, television access with Netflix and Dish Network, garden and backyard access, a saltwater aquarium, diabetic support, and wellness visits.

Programming is described as emphasizing resident strengths and purpose through gardening, hobbies, and lifestyle engagement. A wireless emergency pendant provides 24-hour staff monitoring.

Regulatory compliance improved significantly over the past two years. The most recent Arizona Department of Health Services inspection on April 24, 2025, found zero deficiencies. A prior inspection on May 11, 2023, identified five deficiencies spanning fall prevention training, documentation timeliness, personnel records, vaccination notification procedures, and means of facility exit. These were foundational training and recordkeeping issues, not clinical or safety incidents.

The facility’s clean April 2025 inspection suggests these areas have been addressed. 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. Deficiencies per inspection average 2.5 versus the state average of 1.8, slightly elevated but reflecting the small sample of two inspections. No complaint investigations or enforcement actions have been documented.

The Arcadia location sits 11.1 miles from downtown Phoenix and 4.72 miles from Phoenix Children’s Hospital Thomas Campus. Walk score is 36 (somewhat walkable; most trips require transportation). Arizona financial assistance programs for residents include ALTCS, Non-Medical Home and Community Based Services, Section 202 Supportive Housing, and the CARES Program.

Families should ask about improvements implemented for fall prevention training protocols, personnel record management procedures, and vaccination documentation since the 2023 inspection.

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 323 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.
