Avista Senior Living Prescott sits in the foothills of the High Desert in Prescott, Arizona, looking out toward mile-high mountain views, and people say the place feels homey, comfortable, and warm, with staff known for their kindness and for taking care of people like family, and there are always caregivers and nurses on duty around the clock to help if someone's got health issues or just needs a hand with things like bathing, dressing, moving, or taking medication, and they'll also go with residents to doctor appointments or help sort out prescriptions when needed. The community supports seniors who enjoy being independent, but they also offer several levels of care if memory troubles or other health needs come up, and the staff especially knows how to help folks living with dementia and Alzheimer's, since there's both secure memory care and skilled nursing on site, as well as respite care for folks who need a shorter stay.
People can choose from a range of apartment layouts, many with a living room, bedroom, private bathroom, kitchenette, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and some even have patios, views, or storage closets, and there are spaces for family visits and celebrations, too, which is nice for bringing everyone together. All of the buildings and rooms are wheelchair accessible, and staff help with moving in, household chores like weekly housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning, and they offer meals made by professional chefs who cook all day, serving breakfast to order and main dishes that consider allergies or diabetes, and it sounds like people really talk up the food compared to other places in town.
For getting around, there's transportation and parking, so outings to museums, concerts, local hockey games, grocery shopping, and doctor visits are easier, and pets can come live with their owners, as long as they follow the rules. Around the campus, there are lush gardens, walking paths, a wellness spa, sauna, private lounges, a library, fitness and activity rooms, and even a movie theater and art studio, and the Activity Directors organize all kinds of things-bingo, music programs, jewelry-making, Wii bowling, dance events, parties with ice cream, movie nights, coloring, and even sign language or pet visits with horses, which makes days more enjoyable and gives people a chance to stay connected and active.
Emergency alert systems and a 24-hour call system give peace of mind, with the nursing staff on call 12-16 hours daily, and supervision and medication management are there if a health problem or fall happens. The focus here is always on respect, dignity, and independence, and you'll see that in the way the staff pay attention to each person, really getting to know what people like, what they need, and how to make them feel comfortable, right down to planning activities that reflect the interests and wants of each resident.
Avista Senior Living Prescott holds a license number AL9484C active through July 2025, can house up to 122 residents, and is part of Evergreen Village Prescott at 211 East Bradshaw Drive, with a good reputation for cleanliness, companionship, and a homelike setting that tries to remove the daily worries of cooking, cleaning, or yard work. There's an entry fee of $2,500 and services aimed at supporting all kinds of needs, whether someone's looking for independent living, assisted living, memory care, or just an active community for seniors to enjoy their later years, and it's always had staff around who go out of their way to offer understanding, skilled care, and friendship to residents, which might be why the place earned the Best of Senior Living 2025 award and people say it really lives up to its motto, "Where Kindness Counts!"
