The community lets some pets, which makes things feel even homier, and the staff provide help with bathing, grooming, hygiene, housekeeping, laundry, and medication reminders, which does take a load off people and their families. Nurses are on staff, a Regional Clinical Director oversees care quality, and the team follows personalized care plans, adjusting support if someone's care needs change, as Pennington Gardens is licensed by the state for assisted living, memory care, medication administration, and respite care for short-term stays, including after surgery or injury. The building's got two-bedroom and studio apartments, semi-private rooms, and different floor plans so people can pick what's right for them, and each space is designed for handicapped access, making it easier to move around, plus there are secure and monitored areas for memory care residents, which reduces the worry about wandering, and families are kept in touch about their loved one's progress. Pennington Gardens helps residents keep their routines by offering a beauty salon, onsite spa, movie theater, patio gardens, and walking paths with neatly kept landscapes, giving people lots of choices for how they want to spend their time, with regular trips out in the community van to appointments or local spots like Chandler Regional Medical Center, or just getting out for shopping or volunteering, which helps people stay active and engaged with others. The staff go through specialized memory care training, and they run structured programs and daily activities that help with memory, social connection, and exercise, and you'll see the focus is always on safety, personal dignity, and comfort-especially for folks living with memory loss, who are supported in a way that reduces isolation. Pennington Gardens is managed by American Care Concepts, which keeps the care and operations steady, and there's a commitment to honoring each resident's history and story, with support staff ready to help families pick the right living arrangement. Reviewers often note a friendly atmosphere and staff who are both joyful and kind, and the community puts a lot of focus on meaningful activities, whether it's social events, group movement, eating together, or enjoying the simple pleasure of being outdoors in the Arizona sun. While assisted living suites start at $3,650, people often find comfort in knowing that every service-from meals to medication and daily activities-comes with the goal of keeping people connected and cared for in a real, respectful way, making Pennington Gardens a place for both vibrant living and steady support, especially for those who need extra help day-to-day.

- Memory care
Friendly, well-maintained community, mostly excellent
I'm a resident and overall very happy - the community is beautiful, well-maintained, and homey with nice, spacious rooms, a park-like outdoor area, and a lovely airy dining room. Staff are friendly, caring and responsive; long-tenured leadership and a reliable care coordinator keep meds and questions handled promptly, though occasional staff turnover has caused brief hiccups. The food is diverse and tasty (dessert and cookies daily), and I've made friends and enjoy activities, but more physical options would be welcome and some programming is limited by residents' health. It's clean and comfortable most of the time, ALTCS and hospice support are available, but memory care felt pricey and value there was less clear.
