Shadow Ridge Adult Care Home, located in Phoenix, Arizona, served as a licensed medium assisted living facility under Arizona license # AL9485H and has since permanently closed, but during operation, its focus stayed on senior citizens and adults needing care, with an emphasis on those with Alzheimer's or other memory problems. In a homelike, residential setting, the facility allowed up to eight residents at a time, offering private and semi-private rooms in a quiet neighborhood. Caregivers, usually one for every three people, provided round-the-clock attention, support with daily living activities like bathing and dressing, and medication management, all while trying to make it a warm and friendly environment.
Shadow Ridge offered both assisted living and memory care, so people with different needs could get the right amount of help, whether it was for simple daily activities or more advanced care such as wound care, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing. Their memory care services included specialized programs, memory-enhancing activities, and 24-hour support in secure and safe spaces for those with Alzheimer's or dementia. The schedule was flexible, including mealtimes; meals came fresh and homemade, often customized for dietary needs like diabetes or high blood pressure.
Residents could enjoy on-site amenities such as a games room, walking paths, fitness area, movie theatre, reading room, arts and crafts studio, jacuzzi, steam room, and a hairdresser or beauty shop. The home provided meal service three times each day, with chef-prepared dishes, plus linen and laundry service, and transportation for appointments or errands. Residents could choose from studio suites, shared apartments, or 1-bedroom units, and rooms all came with bathrooms, cable TV, and air conditioning, ensuring comfort.
Safety played a big role at Shadow Ridge, with 24-hour security and a quick emergency response system in every room. There were accessible features for wheelchairs or walkers, high-speed internet throughout, and outdoor yard areas for fresh air. Staff paid attention to each person's needs through custom care plans and health assessments, whether someone needed physical therapy, daily exercises, help with incontinence, diabetic care, or even special help with Parkinson's disease.
Entertainment and health programs included music therapy, pet therapy, board games, and activities to keep people social and active, like movie nights, regular events, and art programs. The facility also supported independent living for active seniors who didn't need much help, offering resort-style amenities, regular social activities, transportation, and optional care as needed, helping everyone maintain independence as long as possible. Shadow Ridge Adult Care Home was accredited by the Better Business Bureau for its standards in transparency and ethical practice. The facility supported a lifestyle focused on comfort, safety, and dignity, allowing older adults to live in a caring, home-like environment with many choices for their care and daily activities.
