Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s care are both confirmed specialty tracks, which matters for families whose loved one has a diagnosis that rules out a lot of general assisted living options. Pets are welcome. Chef-prepared meals are served on-site.

State inspections are overseen by Arizona’s Department of Health Services, Bureau of Long Term Care Licensing. Inspection themes have included medication management, environmental safety, care planning and documentation, and housekeeping and upkeep.

For families who want a small, residential-scale environment with 24-hour staffing and dedicated support for Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, Mountain Cove offers that in a quiet Anthem setting rather than a large institutional one.
