Dolce Vita Assisted Living rests in a quiet part of Surprise, Arizona, at 15664 North 164th Lane, and offers care for up to 10 residents in a cozy home that's both calm and safe, where people get help with bathing, dressing, eating, getting up, and other daily activities, which means support is always close by. This place deals with both assisted living and memory care, with staff trained in helping folks who have Alzheimer's or dementia, and the safety setup includes a secure outdoor area, WanderGuard systems, and features like sprinklers and wheelchair ramps, so even those who might wander or need extra physical help can stay in a comfortable environment.
Meals are made fresh every day, with accommodations for diets such as diabetes, low blood pressure, vegetarian, or even kosher if needed, all prepared in the home's kitchen, which lets everyone enjoy nutritious and familiar food together. Residents can choose from a mix of private, semi-private, shared, or studio rooms, each furnished for comfort and adjusted for folks who use walkers or wheelchairs, and there's plenty of space to relax with a game in the living room, watch a movie, or spend time outside in the enclosed backyard. Dolce Vita's team organizes daily events like fitness classes, art projects, music programs, movie nights, and pet or music therapy, so there's something to do for people who like to keep active or want to socialize.
Transportation is available for doctor visits, errands, and church or faith-based services, and the home has both guest and resident parking as well as a café, fitness room, and game room. Staff help with medication, transfers (including Hoyer lift use for those who need total assistance), and even insulin injections if a doctor or nurse orders it, and residents can meet with therapists who visit for occupational or speech needs, so health care stays a priority for everyone living there. The home does allow pets, either for visits or for residents who want to keep their own, and there are options for both long-term stays and short-term respite care, which can help families in times of need.
Laundry, housekeeping, and linen services keep the place clean, and the management team, led by a former registered nurse, holds a license with Arizona's Department of Social Services (AL6494H) and has run the home since 2004, focusing on compassion, safety, and respect for every resident. Activities and routines are custom to each resident's care plan, especially for memory care, and there are always staff watching at all hours, so support never goes away. The facility's size means that staff know each resident well, often updating each other about changes, and that makes for a place where people feel at home and families feel comfortable leaving their loved one in care. Guests mention the place's friendly atmosphere and the attention to both privacy and dignity, and the home handles many levels of care, including home health, hospice, memory care, adult day, and skilled nursing, depending on needs.
Dolce Vita also helps with placement assistance, at no cost to families, and works with Caring Senior Transitions, LLC to connect with other services. The home welcomes seniors of all activity levels-folks who want to stay active, need specialized dementia care, or who need extra help due to health problems, and there are choices for insurance, including long-term care policies. Residents can bring their pets, relax in the reading room, enjoy community events, and have access to on-site salons and a wellness room, making Dolce Vita Assisted Living a well-rounded choice for seniors in Maricopa County who want a smaller, home-like setting with skilled, caring support.
