Overview of Living Waters Assisted Living Home

Living Waters Assisted Living Home operates as a 10-bed community in Glendale, Arizona, at 5601 W Winnwood Ave. Four years in, it’s still early in its lifecycle. The single-story layout works with private and semi-private rooms, situated in what the profile calls a quiet country location with a Walk Score of 29; translation: you’re driving for most things. The community accepts Medicaid.

The facility runs with round-the-clock staffing and nursing services, which matters if you need medical oversight or rapid response. An RN is on-site. Residents get help with daily living tasks and individualized service plans. Medications are handled in-house.

The community offers hospice partnerships if end-of-life care becomes relevant. Meals are home-cooked and reviewed by a dietary consultant, which is a real distinction from institutional food services. There’s an outdoor courtyard with a gazebo if you want to be outside.

State inspections have centered on medication management, staff credentials, care planning, and facility upkeep rather than direct resident care. At 10 beds, this is a deliberately small operation: scaled for older adults who want intimate, hands-on care with a nurse present and the predictability of a home-like setting rather than a larger institutional environment.
