Overview of The Enclave at Chandler Senior Living

The Enclave at Chandler Senior Living sits at 4950 W Chandler Blvd in Chandler, Arizona. Its three-story building holds 115 units, split between studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, and the community covers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in one place. Seven years in, it’s past the early-days phase and into a steadier rhythm.

Walkability here lands right in the middle. With a Walk Score of 53, some errands are doable on foot, and others still need a car. That middle-ground setup shows up inside too, where the amenities split evenly between mental engagement and physical movement. There’s an art studio, a library, and a music room for residents who’d rather stay in, plus walking paths and courtyards for those who want to step outside.

Support services cover the basics that let daily life run smoothly: housekeeping, maintenance, cleaning, and transportation, so getting somewhere doesn’t depend on family being free that day. A fitness and recreation program adds structure to the week. Marcia Turner runs the community day-to-day, and Chandler 2 Operator, LLC owns it.

Like every licensed assisted living facility in Arizona, this one gets inspected by the state’s Department of Health Services through its Bureau of Long Term Care Licensing. Past reviews have centered on a few recurring areas: emergency preparedness, how hazardous materials get handled, and how care gets documented.

Put together, the picture is a mid-sized community built for people who want structure without losing options, with three housing sizes, transportation covered, and a real split between indoor and outdoor space.

Overview of Garden Ridge Senior Living

Garden Ridge Senior Living operates as a large-scale community in Peoria at 18170 N 91St Ave: 259 beds across independent living, assisted living, and memory care. RIDGES AT PEORIA, LLC owns it; Holly Vandermate administers, with George Bakhit leading operations. The building is two stories with one and two-bedroom units (760 to 1,034 square feet). The facility’s been open 6 years.

Walk Score 61 means some walkable errands. Downtown Peoria is 6.7 miles away; the nearest hospital is 3.21 miles.

Staffing runs 24 hours with licensed nurses, CNAs, and a 24/7 on-call RN. Physician visits and wellness checks happen regularly. Medication supervision and daily living assistance cover the expected range: dressing, bathing, hygiene, mobility. The property lists amenities comprehensively: garden, housekeeping, laundry, wellness program, library, courtyards, recreational room, outdoor pool, patio, covered parking.
Meals are three homemade daily plus snacks. Pets are allowed. Transportation services are available.

Over three years, 7 complaints filed (17% above Arizona average) with 2.3 per year (15% above state average). The facility triggered 12 total inspections; 140% above the Arizona norm.

The most recent complaint found a deficiency for “failing to ensure resident dignity and respect.” That’s not a narrow compliance issue; that’s a care culture question. A prior annual inspection cited four deficiencies: uncertified caregiver, pet licensing and vaccination failures. An off-site level-of-care inspection found no problems.

Garden Ridge is a newer facility in a competitive market with elevated complaint activity and inspections above normal. The dignity-and-respect deficiency combined with staffing certification gaps suggests basic operational discipline issues that extend beyond a single audit.

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.
