Olive Grove Assisted Living & Memory Care sits in Central Phoenix, close to bus lines, light rail, and major roads, and you can walk to parks, cafes like Dutch Bros Coffee, and places like Zipps Sports Grill, so you'll see residents out and about in the neighborhood or heading to nearby doctors, shops, and the Maricopa Medical Center that's just three miles away and Walgreens down the street for medicines, with scheduled transportation for errands or appointments too, and family or friends are always welcome to visit or join for a meal. Olive Grove covers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care, so whether someone wants to age in place, needs memory care, or only short-term help, there's a spot for them, and the largest senior living apartment provider in Phoenix, Olive Grove offers many floor plans-studio, one-bedroom, regular or deluxe, companion-style, with private patios, balconies, kitchenettes, or full kitchens in some, and a few apartments come furnished if someone wants to move in quickly.
Residents can bring pets up to 20 lbs and enjoy outdoor areas with gardens, walking paths, and pet-friendly spots, while inside, rooms have safety features in showers and bathrooms, emergency call pendants, same-day maintenance, and month-to-month contracts, with cable and Wi-Fi included except for phones. Help is always close by with 24-hour staff, a full-time LPN five days a week, nurses on call, and emergency call systems in every unit, so safety stays a big focus, and there's support with everything from bathing or getting dressed to medication management or specialized direct care for folks with memory problems who might wander or need more supervision. For those on memory care, Olive Grove reserves a secured, low-confusion environment, tailored activities, and Bonded Pairs so couples with different care needs can still live together, even if one has Alzheimer's or dementia.
Meals come three times a day, made by an in-house chef who listens to residents through food committee meetings, and there's restaurant-style dining in a large room, snacks always ready, and room service for folks not up to eating out; special diets like diabetic, vegetarian, low-salt, or low-fat are available. Housekeeping and laundry come routinely, and there's a salon and barber shop, coin-free laundry, and cleaning services included, plus mail service, guest parking, visitor policies for overnight guests, and a smoke-free building with outdoor smoking areas.
Olive Grove's Activity Department offers 40 to 50 events a week, like bingo, arts and crafts, educational seminars, church services, musical groups, day trips, shopping runs, and book clubs, along with plenty of spaces to gather like a library, courtyard, party room, movie room, computer room, and a game room with pool tables and vending machines, and staff aim to keep things friendly, open, and lively. Healthcare is coordinated and on-site pharmacy, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as psychiatric and hospice services are available, with options for short-term stays to relieve primary caregivers and customized levels of support matching what the resident needs. Utilities, activities, housekeeping, and linen service all come included in the rent, except for the phone and cable; Medicaid is accepted along with private pay, checks, and credit cards, and there's a reduced rate if two people share a unit. Olive Grove is run by Stellar Senior Living, which manages similar senior communities across the western states, and because staff get training for dementia and Alzheimer's care, residents who need memory support get time outdoors, mind-engaging games, and a calm, secure environment, so a family can know their loved one is as safe and supported as possible.
