Sunrise Care Home Shea

Sunrise Care Home Shea sits on two quiet acres north of Shea and 66th Street in Scottsdale, AZ, offering seniors a calm and safe place to live with assistance available for those who need it. The homes have remodeled, modern finishes, open floor plans, and big patios with plenty of room to sit outside, plus landscaped fountains that help keep the surroundings peaceful. Staff are trained, experienced, and always on hand to help, making sure residents are safe, comfortable, and treated with respect and dignity every day, with a low staff-to-resident ratio that means people get personal attention. Sunrise Care Home Shea supports a mix of care options, including assisted living, independent living, and specialized memory care for people with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, and each care plan is tailored to the person's needs, whether someone needs help with dressing and bathing, wants help managing medication, or could use memory activities and structure. There's always something to do with daily activities, group events like live music or day trips, and spaces for socializing, so residents can keep busy, stay engaged, and connect with others. People can bring their own personal items and furniture to make suites feel more like home, and even pets are welcome. Meals are fresh and made from quality ingredients, with special dietary options like diabetic, low-sodium, and vegetarian meals, and caregivers check in with management by sending food photos to keep meal quality high. The dining rooms are bright and comfortable, and there are snacks and fresh fruits and vegetables brought in every week. Sunrise Care Home Shea is fully accessible for wheelchairs and has safety features to help prevent falls and support those with mobility challenges. Around-the-clock staff support is available, and medical providers work with caregivers to make sure residents get what they need, from therapy and personal care to arranging rides for medical appointments. Amenities such as WiFi, cable, and air conditioning in each room, along with on-site services like a beautician and regular housekeeping, help add comfort and convenience. The environment focuses on kindness, safety, and a real feeling of home, with people looking out for each other, regular check-ins to handle questions or concerns, and a genuine sense of community.
