Altura is a locally managed, non-profit senior living community that offers many choices for seniors, so you'll see single-family homes, townhomes, and apartments with one to three bedrooms, some coming with casitas for guests and views of the Catalina Mountains, and there are rental homes with modern amenities and updated interiors, all with options for different budgets and needs, plus maintenance and repair help if you want it for an extra fee. Residents benefit from the Arizona Senior Academy right on site, which brings in continuing education classes and a variety of lectures, and the community hosts regular tours, including ones led by residents who can explain the daily routines and layout. Wellness and activities are important here, so you'll find a state-of-the-art fitness center, a heated outdoor pool, tennis and pickleball courts, walking paths, and yoga and water aerobics classes, along with clubs and classes for everything from art to foreign languages to computers and book discussions. There's an on-site café for a simple meal or coffee, a library with Arizona history books, art studios, a billiard room, and dedicated spaces like the Arizona Room and clubhouses for group gatherings, movie nights, and social events, not to mention a garden, scenic hiking trails, and a peaceful courtyard that give people fresh air and mountain views.
Altura provides transportation for residents and scheduled daily activities, including entertainment, seminars, service projects like Book Share, community involvement, and activities meant to boost personal growth and well-being. Healthcare gets careful attention, as the community gives access to a range of care types-assisted living, board and care, independent living, continuing care retirement services, skilled nursing, and memory care-all in one place, so if someone needs help with medication, bathing, dressing, or just day-to-day tasks, staff are available around the clock, and there are arrangements for nursing care, rehabilitation, and wound care if necessary, plus secure areas and special programs for Alzheimer's and dementia care.
Altura includes services for those who need full-time support and those who just want to live independently but take part in social and recreational activities, so active adults can join hiking groups, fitness classes, and art lessons, while those who need more help get personalized assistance, medication management, and meal services, all with a focus on comfort, safety, and a sense of community. For independent seniors, optional support services can fill the gap if their needs change, and there's even HUD 202 rental assistance for lower-income residents. There are senior villages that help coordinate volunteer support, and there are homes with features like dens, enclosed garages, individual climate control, and layouts that provide privacy and easy access to community spaces and meeting rooms. The community is known for its helpful and caring staff, who provide 24-hour supervision and personalized care, creating a comfortable and stable environment for seniors at different life stages.
