The Gardens Of Scottsdale

The Gardens Of Scottsdale sits in a quiet part of Scottsdale, offering seniors different ways to live, like independent living for those who want a simple, social lifestyle, or assisted living for folks who need a bit more help with daily things like bathing, getting dressed, and taking medicine, and they've got memory care too for people who have Alzheimer's or other dementia, making sure there's special support and activities to fit those needs, plus skilled nursing if someone needs round-the-clock care, so people can pick what fits them best, and the place makes sure to talk through move-in steps, waitlists, and contracts in private with anyone interested. They've got rooms in several sizes and layouts, like studios, one- or two-bedroom apartments with kitchenettes or full kitchens, and every unit has things like private or semi-private bathrooms, cable or satellite TV, emergency call buttons, and some are nicely furnished. The staff offers regular housekeeping, in-house doctor visits, personal care help, and 24-hour nurse coverage, and medical services include things like wound care, podiatry, medication support, and even therapy - physical, occupational, and speech - with access to FOX and Ageility rehab programs. People living there get to eat meals made by Five Star's chefs, served in restaurant-style dining rooms or through the MyChoice Dining Program, with various healthy options and special diets in mind, and there's always coffee, a complimentary breakfast, and sometimes happy hours or special meals. You can find a whole lot of spaces folks seem to enjoy, like the movie theater, activity studios, game room, library, chapel, salon and barbershop, computer workstations, laundry, and a fitness center with exercise classes-and then outside, there are walking paths, landscaped gardens, a gazebo, courtyard, pond, and park, and even a gated entry and covered parking, plus places for pets and a dog park, since animals are allowed. They keep a busy calendar with lots of activities, fitness classes, outings around Scottsdale, craft times, movie nights, clubs, and religious services, and everyone gets encouragement to join in and make friends or volunteer if they want, which helps folks feel like they belong, and the staff tries to honor each person's choices as much as possible. There's scheduled transportation for doctor visits or shopping, a front desk concierge, and basic internet and cable are included, and people can get even more help if they need it through services like home care or companion support. The Gardens Of Scottsdale focuses on safety too, with handicap-accessible features, a sprinkler system, and emergency systems in every apartment, and they've got personal care assistants to help out whenever needed. The whole place is owned by Five Star Senior Living, which brings a certain level of care and services, like their special Olera caregiver resource platform, and everything comes together to help seniors stay healthy, social, and comfortable for as long as they call it home, all without pressure, just clear choices and steady support, with assisted living starting at $3,000 and memory care at $4,900 a month.
