Overview of Yucca Assisted Living

Yucca Assisted Living provides independent living in Chandler, Arizona, with private living but no daily care. Private and shared rooms give residents the choice of an individual room or a companion.

With five beds, the home has a small community setting where residents and staff can get to know each other, which may suit someone who prefers a more intimate setting. A Walk Score of 71 places the area in the very walkable band, so a resident who no longer drives can still complete many errands on foot and get out independently; Mary G. Gamboa serves as the administrator.
