    Small home with excellent care

    I placed my mom in this small (10-resident) home and was very impressed - hands-on owners, long-tenured and genuinely caring staff who treated residents like family, spotless spacious rooms, beautiful patio/views, great meals, daily activities (exercise, yoga, salon), meds/groceries managed, and strong safety/Parkinson's/dementia care while preserving independence. Excellent value and I highly recommend it. One caveat: it's not a fit for behavioral/frontotemporal dementia and there are occasional reports of staffing/management turnover.

    About Carefree Assisted Living

    Carefree Assisted Living sits on two acres in Phoenix, AZ, with clear mountain views and a calm, Tuscan-style home that's about 7,000 square feet, and what you notice right away is how it keeps a cozy, family-like feeling with ten private bedrooms, each with windows, built-in closets, shared accessible Jack and Jill bathrooms, and the choice for residents to bring their own furniture and decorate, which can make settling in feel a little easier for some folks. Dr. Justin Wight, a Board Certified Family Physician, owns and oversees the care here while a team of long-tenured, qualified staff-including live-in caregivers-help keep things running smoothly day and night, providing support for daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and grooming, as well as medication management, diabetic care, incontinence care, high acuity needs, and non-ambulatory resident support.

    Folks get three home-cooked meals every day made by a chef and meal planners, who focus on healthy ingredients, and there are snacks and beverages available all the time, and if you need vegetarian or kosher meals, that option exists too. The home has a big open common area where you find a chef's kitchen with islands, a dining table, and a lounge with a big TV, fireplace, and comfortable seating, and outside there's a backyard with patios, tables, a water feature, a grill, and views of the mountains, which gives residents places to relax or socialize.

    Memory care is available for those living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, with custom care plans and engaging cognitive activities every day, and you'll also find options for independent living, home care, adult day services, nursing support, home health (Medicare-certified), and hospice, so families needing all levels of support can look at what's offered. Staff provide regular wellness checks, mental health check-ins, laundry, and cleaning services, plus access to dental and other healthcare needs when required, and the medicine storage is secure with careful monitoring. The facility has safety features throughout and handles residents' needs with the aim of making things feel comfortable, reassuring, and safe, whether someone's here long-term or just for respite care.

    Residents and their families use the support of a dedicated senior advisor service, which helps folks with guidance as they move in and choose care, making the transition a bit less stressful, and the staff is known for being helpful, joyful, and kind, aiming to give a sense of belonging and comfort to everyone who lives here. There's a strong focus on activity, with a calendar full of social, educational, and recreational events, onsite gym for gentle exercise, stress reduction sessions, and wellness services, plus beautician services available if booked.

    Carefree Assisted Living doesn't accept pets and hasn't listed detailed prices, but it does allow interested people to schedule a tour if they want to see the space first. Residents get Wi-Fi, room privacy, familiar home comforts, and help tailored to what each person needs, and the home aims to keep a sense of dignity and independence for everyone living there. The place has good reviews, an average of 4.4 out of 5 stars from sixteen reviews, and folks seem to appreciate the small, tightly knit community where everyone's care feels a bit more individual and personal. The facility is clean, handicap accessible, and meant to feel more like a real home than anything else, with enough staff around to help without making things feel crowded or busy. The home follows state regulations-with license number AL11222H-and has strict policies to keep residents safe and secure, all under the attentive supervision of Dr. Wight and his team.
