Legacy House of Avondale sits in West Valley, in Avondale's growing neighborhood, and has been there since spring of 2018, just a few minutes from Banner Estrella Medical Center and near the Arizona State University campus, where you've got views of the White Tank Mountains and Phoenix, so there's a sense of space even though you're right in the city. The community's got studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, all with kitchenettes and private baths, and floor plans come in a few choices so folks can pick what fits their needs best, some having full accessibility and safety features like grab bars. The rooms let residents control their own heating and cooling, so everyone can keep it how they like it, and the décor feels comfortable, with decorated common areas and spaces for visiting neighbors or family, like outdoor courtyards, water features, and gardens where you can just walk or sit for a bit.
Legacy House of Avondale serves independent folks, those needing some daily help, and folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, keeping assisted living, memory care, independent living, and skilled nursing all together on campus, so folks can stay put even if their needs change, and that means it qualifies as a Continuing Care Retirement Community. There are 127 assisted living units and 42 memory care units, with memory care built specifically for seniors who might get confused or wander, keeping things safe and calm. Staff offers help with activities of daily living-like bathing, dressing, and managing medicine-and they're set up so each person gets only the help they need, no more and no less. Their Personal Touch Culture makes a point of recognizing what makes each resident unique while still keeping folks' choices and independence in mind.
For safety and peace of mind, there's a state-of-the-art emergency response and security system, a 24-hour emergency call system in every apartment, and grab bars around the place, just in case. The campus has a good number of amenities-a movie theater, activity and game rooms, a fitness room for therapy or exercise, a bistro, a beauty and barber shop, library, private dining room for family visits, and outdoor walking paths that loop through flower gardens and around water features. Meals are handled restaurant-style and come three times a day, with snacks in between, and there's always something going on, since daily activities cover physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual interests, so there's a little bit for everyone. Maintenance and landscaping are included, weekly housekeeping and linen service come standard, and folks can do laundry themselves or use laundry services. Scheduled transportation lets residents get to medical appointments, stores, or even the bank as part of daily routines, and the place makes it simple for older adults who want their own space but also chance to meet with others or get help when they need it.
