Ardiente

Ardiente sits behind a guardhouse at 5799 Scotland Bridge St. in North Las Vegas and is a gated community built by Shea Homes, with homes that can have up to three-car garages and some use solar energy, so you'll find options whether you want a smaller single-story place or a bigger layout, and the homes are energy-efficient too, with Shea Green Certified construction. The community has a 20,000-square-foot Spanish-style clubhouse that's open from 7:00AM to 9:00PM, where people can use the fitness center, play billiards and cards, join clubs in the multipurpose room, visit the library, or use the catering kitchen for community events. Outside, Ardiente has two pools, a jacuzzi, walking and biking trails, tennis and basketball courts, a rose garden, dog park, BBQ area, event lawn, and covered patio, with pedestrian paths connecting landscaped parks, community gardens, fitness stations, and outdoor common areas. The staff provides 24-hour supervision, a call system for help, and will assist with bathing, dressing, and managing medications, and the community takes care of folks who need non-ambulatory care as well as help with transfers, which can be important as people's needs change. There's independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing homes, continuing care retirement community services, and respite care, so residents can move between care types as needed, and specialized staff focus on treating each person with patience and gentleness to support both independence and dignity while meeting individual needs. The meal service covers all-day dining, restaurant-style options, allergy-sensitive and diabetes-friendly meals, and food gets prepared by a professional chef, with a dietitian overseeing nutrition. Residents have housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning, move-in coordination, concierge, and family support services, and there's transportation and parking available. Each unit can have private bathrooms, Wi-Fi, kitchenettes, cable TV, air conditioning, and furniture, and there's an emergency alert system for safety. Social life includes daily scheduled activities like movie nights, music programs, arts and crafts, gardening, book clubs, sports groups, fitness classes, yoga, happy hours, and holiday parties, all organized by a full-time activities director aiming to keep everyone active and connected. For business and leisure, there's a business room, a game room, spa/wellness room, a theater, activity programs, and outdoor walking paths. People also get the chance for community gardening or joining clubs, and the staff tries to offer stimulating and meaningful activities, which also help folks with memory concerns or other needs. The location makes it easy to reach the Las Vegas Strip, Shadow Creek Golf Course, and local services. Ardiente is also linked with Mary Kopp, a real estate agent, and is part of a network of active adult communities such as Sun City Summerlin, Sun City Anthem, Sienna, and others. The community also offers adult day care services and even provides a two-week free trial for childcare, which isn't common. The environment stays secure and supports both seniors and disabled adults, with programs meant to improve quality of life for all residents, and children visiting or living in the facility have safe spaces and programs to help them grow and learn.
