The Summit At Sunland Springs in East Mesa sits inside Sunland Springs Village, an adult retirement community built by The Farnsworth Family, and this place has been open for more than 15 years under the names Avista Senior Living and Sunland Springs Memory Care LLC, and you can really tell they try to create a comfortable environment. The community has 108 assisted living units in the second phase, and they offer both assisted living and memory care, so whether someone needs a bit of help with day-to-day things or a more secure setting because of dementia, they've got both options. Residents choose from studios, one- or two-bedroom apartments, and the rooms, whether private or companion, come with air conditioning, cable TV, basic internet, and safety features like individual call systems, but phone service is extra.
The staff at The Summit At Sunland Springs includes in-house physicians, registered nurses, and specially trained caregivers who give support with daily activities like bathing, grooming, dressing, and medication management, and the memory care wing is set up for secure living with spa tubs, shower benches, constant emergency response, and special fall prevention tools like SafelyYou AI cameras. The place keeps a caring staff awake all night and offers 24/7 medical monitoring and medication supervision, and residents who need more get wound therapy, help with hygiene, and support from home health, hospice, occupational, and physical therapy.
Meals are cooked on-site-home-style and fresh-served three times a day with snacks for memory care, and there's also an all-day dining option so folks can eat when they want, and they cover weekly housekeeping and laundry for linens and towels. The community has its own beauty salon for haircuts, manicures, or barber services, and they also bring in services like dental care, podiatry, hearing, x-rays, and physical therapy clinics right on site for convenience.
For activities, there's a library, theater room, bistro, billiards, wellness center, arts room, fitness room, and plenty of events like movies, music, social activities, and volunteer programs every day, and the community welcomes pets. Outdoors, people enjoy walking paths, gardens, beautifully designed secure courtyards, and spaces to relax or socialize, and those in memory care have access to locked outdoor courtyards for safety.
Transportation is available for trips to doctors, shopping, or restaurants, and parking is on-site for both residents and visitors. The building is wheelchair accessible, and the property, kept clean and bright, tries to feel as uplifting as possible so that folks feel safe and supported. The Summit At Sunland Springs is a Limited Liability Company with a BBB A+ rating, and it's known in the area as a place where people can get help tailored to their needs by staff who work hard to show dignity and respect, using person-centered care and offering healthcare around the clock. They do have a lively, engaging community but you'll still see their staff take things slow, making sure everyone gets the time and care needed, and the memory care program uses technology and clinical partnerships to reduce falls and keep residents as independent as possible.
