Citrus Gardens - Residential Assisted Living sits in a quiet neighborhood in Peoria, Arizona, with peaceful mountain views and a cozy group home feel that helps people feel settled and comfortable, and the place holds up to ten seniors in private and semi-private rooms that are both pet-friendly and offer cats and dogs a place too, which is nice if someone doesn't want to leave their pets behind. The home is designed to be warm and inviting, with well-kept living spaces, outside gardens, and shared areas where folks come together for daily meals, games, exercise, and activities like music therapy, art plans, movie nights, and board games, and there's even a reading room, a wellness room, a jacuzzi, and planned social nights so people don't have to feel alone which is good if someone likes to have company.
Citrus Gardens has programs for arts and crafts, fitness, and spiritual groups, and staff help every day with things like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, and even insulin support or two-person transfers if someone needs an extra hand, plus special diets for conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, so families know people are well looked after no matter their needs. The caregivers are certified, trained, and care about treating residents with dignity, especially those with memory loss or any kind of dementia, including Alzheimer's, with specialized memory care and support for both daily life and health issues like heart or lung disease. The staff can also help with hospice and respite care, so even if someone needs more help for a short time or at the end of life, they don't have to move somewhere else.
Residents can use scheduled transportation for doctor visits, shopping, or faith activities, and the home-cooked meals, snacks, and drinks are made to be healthy and taste like home, and housekeeping and laundry services are provided so people can spend their time on things they enjoy. The medium-sized board and care model creates a family-like setting, and the staff have unique names for their care programs, making each service area feel special. There's space to be independent but support when it's wanted, and the environment stays safe for everyone because the building, grounds, and routines are all set up with older people in mind.
Prices for assisted living at Citrus Gardens start at $3,000 per month, but that can change depending on what kind of room is needed or what level of care someone wants, and folks can pay with private funds, long-term care insurance, or Veteran's Aid and Attendance, which gives families a few options to consider. Citrus Gardens is licensed by Arizona's Department of Social Services, license number AL7854H, and operates from 8AM to 9PM weekdays, and 8AM to 5:30PM on weekends, so there's staff available for support and questions. The home also gives clear information about its services and prices, checks reviews for accuracy, and helps families find the right living options, so people know they have choices that fit their unique situation and needs. All in all, Citrus Gardens gives seniors a calm, caring place to live with support that adapts to each person, and the team aims to treat everyone with respect and kindness.
