Scottsdale Memory Care sits at 9450 E Mountain View Rd and is part of the Mosaic Senior Living family, with a special memory care section called Mosaic Gardens at Scottsdale, and does focus on folks living with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, so you'll notice the community's designed for comfort, safety, and keeping folks' dignity and independence as much as possible, and what stands out is that family members can take part in care planning, come to special events, and join support group meetings on a regular basis. The place has been remodeled with new furniture, fresh paint, and safe, beautiful grounds that give people space to walk outside, visit neighbors, or just enjoy the desert scenery, all while having door codes, security cameras, and bracelets with alarms if someone's prone to wandering. They use a Montessori Activities Program, which tailors daily activities to each person's abilities, so even folks with memory trouble can discover their strengths, and the program focuses on life skills, art, music, and exercise, with things like yoga, light therapy, trivia, and stretching classes running daily.
Rooms here can be single or double, always fully furnished with private bathrooms, air-conditioning, wheelchair-accessible showers, and cable TV; there are even studio floor plans with nature-themed bright decor, and all the public spaces, both inside and out, are made to let folks get around easily, especially if they use a wheelchair or need extra help. People can keep cats or dogs, and there's pet care on offer. A full-time activities director works hard to keep every resident engaged, offering outings, movie nights, cooking classes, live music, gardening, even devotional services right on site, and the building has a community movie theater, small library, computer center with internet, and indoor-outdoor common areas for games, socializing, or just some peace and quiet.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef who can handle special diets, allergies, diabetes, or just picky eaters, and food is served in the dining room restaurant-style, or folks can use private dining spaces for something quieter, while kitchenettes are available in some rooms for those who can still fix a snack. Staff stay on-site 24 hours a day, and nursing care is available up to 16 hours daily, with an on-call doctor, visiting podiatrists, dentists, therapists, and support personnel for things like help with bathing, getting dressed, managing medications, handling transfers (even with a lift if needed), and keeping up with needs as people age or change. There's a 24-hour call system, regular wellness checks, and behavioral and mental health care for those who need help with depression or agitation, and staff have special training for aggressive behaviors or if someone tends to wander.
Transportation is provided for doctor appointments or outings into Scottsdale, and housekeeping, laundry, and concierge services are part of the package, which takes a load off family. The community runs with a person-centered approach-meaning everything, from activities to care, tries to fit around what each person can do and enjoys, so residents work on keeping their motor, cognitive, sensory, and creative skills the best they can for as long as they can. Visitation is relaxed, and folks can schedule a tour if they want to see the remodeled spaces and learn more about the programs or specific supports, and the staff keeps up with advances in dementia and Alzheimer's care so everyone gets the benefit of newer ways of doing things. The F.A.I.T.H.E. core values-Fun, Attitude, Integrity, Teamwork, Honesty, and Effort-help shape the atmosphere here so people feel like they're part of a supportive neighborhood community, with some scenic desert and mountain views to enjoy outside.
