The Enclave at Gilbert Senior Living sits in a quiet neighborhood in Gilbert, AZ, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Staff members speak English and stay on-site around the clock, with many residents saying the staff is friendly and helpful, which helps create a welcoming place where people, even new arrivals, feel included and comfortable sharing ideas for improvements. Residents can choose from different apartment layouts, including Casitas with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and all living spaces come with wheelchair-accessible showers, full kitchens or kitchenettes, cable TV, internet, air conditioning, and options for ground floor units or fireplaces for extra comfort.
The facility has several places for recreation, like a swimming pool, hot tub, fitness center, arts and crafts room, raised garden beds, and game and movie rooms, as well as indoor and outdoor walking paths and a central fireplace for gathering. Residents can bring cats or dogs, as long as pets stay within 21-30 pounds. Outdoor smoking's allowed in designated areas. Maintenance, linen, and housekeeping services help keep things clean and easy to manage for those who need a little extra support, and telemedicine lets residents connect with doctors without leaving their apartments.
Meals come with plenty of choices, like vegetarian, low or no sodium, no sugar, and even international dishes, available through restaurant-style dining, anytime dining, or served in the apartments if someone prefers privacy. Friends and family can join for guest meals, and the dining program rotates menus weekly and offers a hard menu for variety. Residents can visit the café for Starbucks coffee or use the beauty salon and barber shop on-site. There's a library, a computer center, meeting rooms, a TV lounge, and common areas to gather, both indoors and outdoors, with an enclosed courtyard for safety.
Transportation is flexible-it's up to residents if they want to drive and park themselves, use complimentary or paid transportation services, or take advantage of nearby public transit, and they don't have far to go for groceries, pharmacies, or parks like Zanjero, Discovery, and Veterans Oasis Park. Medical support is close too, with Mercy Gilbert Medical Center nearby for emergencies, and in-home physical and occupational therapy available for ongoing care. The secure, locked memory care area is built to help those facing memory loss or dementia, with Montessori and reminiscence programs that aim to keep minds active and prevent wandering, and regular care includes support for diabetes, incontinence, and general daily activities.
The Enclave at Gilbert tailors care and programming to individual needs, with plenty of activities like stretch classes, yoga, water aerobics, karaoke, trivia, Wii bowling, and gardening club, with devotional services for different faiths held both on-site and off-site. Birthday parties, dances, picnics, and volunteering bring people together, while partnerships with local pharmacies and a wellness center with certified physical therapists support health goals.
Residents have choices for how they spend their days, from creativity in art or music classes, to cooking, lifelong learning, happy hours, wine tastings, community service, therapy with light, or simply relaxing in the courtyard. Friends and connections grow over time, with social activities and programs aimed at keeping people connected and active. Spectrum Retirement Communities operates The Enclave, using a system that adjusts care as seniors' needs change, and the focus stays on helping people maintain their independence while offering support when it's needed. The community values feedback and aims for a vibrant, colorful way of living, though information about the facility is sometimes hard to find, and residents can use virtual tours and the online photo gallery to get a sense of life there before moving in.
