Vista Living Camelback

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.
