Maryland Gardens Assisted Living sits on a quiet street in Phoenix, Arizona, lined with tall palm trees, and the place feels home-like and comfortable with common indoor areas and semi-private rooms that give both privacy and chances to visit with neighbors if somebody wants to. The facility offers many care levels through its Continuing Care Retirement Community structure, with assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and special programs for dementia, including both short-term rehab and long-term care. Staff helps with bathing, transfers, toileting, grooming, dressing, medication management, wound care, feeding tubes, IV therapy, diabetic injections, and management of special dietary needs such as diabetes and food allergies. There's always a licensed nurse and awake staff available 24 hours a day for residents who might need anything, and they also provide incontinence care for those who can manage it themselves, along with non-ambulatory and standby support for folks who may need that extra bit of help.
Rooms are furnished and come in a mix of studio, one-bedroom, semi-private, and two-bedroom options, and every room includes a telephone, so people can stay in touch with family or friends if they'd like. The environment leans toward calm comfort, with recent renovations, walk-in showers, and spacious common indoor and outdoor areas, including walking paths and a green courtyard, a garden, a library, an arts room, and a barber/salon so residents can experience a bit of normalcy and fresh air or creative time whenever they feel like it. There's a lot going on each day, with a dedicated activities department running both community-sponsored and resident-led events, movie nights, art programs, games, social events, and weekly outings to keep hands and minds busy. People can spend time in the arts room, play cards, watch a film, or participate in fitness programs if they're up for it. The dining room stays open all day with restaurant-style meals, so nobody needs to worry about set meal times, and residents with unique health or food needs can trust the meal preparation to be careful with allergies, diabetes, or just food preferences.
Maryland Gardens supports recovery from surgery, illness, or injury too, with skilled nursing, physical, occupational, and speech therapy on hand-so they often handle folks going through joint replacement, stroke, or sub-acute rehab, along with general assistance for daily activities. People who need social services, transportation to and from appointments, or help with laundry and dry cleaning will find that all provided. The facility also takes care of housekeeping to keep things tidy, and offers community wellness initiatives in a way that doesn't feel forced.
The building has a security system with emergency alerts and 24-hour call support, so residents stay safe and can get help at any hour. The care team offers personalized services based on what each resident needs, including respite care for residents and caregivers needing a break, and also serves people age 55 and older. Maryland Gardens accepts many payment types: private pay, Medicaid, Medicare, social security, veteran's benefits, and commercial insurance, and charges fees based on the level of care, plus community, respite, or buy-in fees for those wanting to move in. The community is operated as a for-profit facility with 58 skilled nursing beds and 40 assisted living beds, with a steady reputation for quality care and a warm, supportive environment where people can heal or enjoy their days, whatever their health or memory care needs might be.
