Waymark Gardens - HUD in Glendale, AZ, is a senior living community offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing services all under one roof, and you'll find apartments that are suitable for elderly living, including both studios and one-bedroom units, and the rents for these are income-based so folks with lower incomes can usually afford to live there, but some units do have waiting lists since there's high demand. The place was recently renovated with a $6.2 million upgrade, so all the appliances are new and energy efficient, plus things like medical alert systems and medication dispensers help keep everyone safe. There are government funds supporting the property through HUD, so they keep the rates affordable, and management is handled by SRH and Biltmore Properties, Inc., who seem to focus on making things safe and supportive for the people living there.
Inside, there's a friendly front receptionist named Kim who's known for being helpful and kind, and the staff have a good reputation for being joyful and really caring about the residents' well-being. There's a prize store where people can use "bonus bucks," which gives residents something fun to look forward to, plus a hair salon, clean rooms, ample parking, and a variety of activities and social events that help keep everyone active and social, so there's always something going on if someone wants to join in. The community supports independent living but offers hands-on help when needed, with amenities like transportation services, home security, and access to both TeleHealth and TeleDentistry thanks to a HIPAA-compliant technology room, so medical help's always close by, especially with two hospitals, six doctors, and thirteen pharmacies all nearby, not to mention restaurants, cafes, parks, places of worship, and even theaters close at hand. They've built a calm environment for retirement with structured housing options, resources for family caregivers, nutritious meals, home care support, and memory care, which means people at different stages of aging can usually find the right amount of help here. Waymark Gardens meets both HUD and HIPAA standards, and the management really makes an effort to keep the apartments safe, energy-smart, and affordable for seniors who want to be part of a genuine, caring community.
