About A Better Choice Assisted Living
A Better Choice Assisted Living is a small residential home in Scottsdale. ADHS records list it as licensed for 8 residents at the directed care level as of September 2026, under the licensed name A BETTER CHOICE ASSISTED LIVING LLC.
The home's website describes the home as assisted living in a residential setting run by a nurse, and says licensed nursing staff provide medical care. It also says the home offers medication management, around-the-clock assistance and supervision, and a specialized memory care program for residents with Alzheimer's disease, dementia or cognitive impairments. These are the home's own statements, not ADHS findings.
On meals, the company says it builds personalized meal plans with nutritionists and lists vegetarian, vegan and keto among the dietary preferences it works with.
Ask who works at night and how long the caregivers have been there. You cannot tell that from a photo, so ask in person.

AZ Care Check lists directed, personal and supervisory care services for this home, with the directed care capacity at 8. In ADHS terms, directed care is for residents who cannot direct their own care, for example because of dementia or other cognitive impairment, and it is the highest of the three assisted living care levels. The home's website says a licensed nursing staff provides medical care, that it offers medication management including prescription coordination and administration, and that it provides around-the-clock assistance and supervision.

Our referral disclosure
Before we refer you to any assisted living home, we send you this notice to read and sign. Here it is now, so you can read it at your own pace.
Arizona law requires that we provide you with the following disclosure notice.
We are in the business of referring residents to assisted living facilities and assisted living homes. We will be paid by the assisted living facility or assisted living home if you move into one of the referred assisted living facilities or assisted living homes. The fee we receive from the assisted living facility or assisted living home into which you move typically ranges from 70 to 100 percent of your first month's rent and care charges. We do have a current business relationship but we do not have a common ownership or control in, or any other financial, business, management or familial relationship with, any of the assisted living homes and assisted living facilities to which we are referring you.
By providing us with a written or electronic notice, you have the right to terminate our services to you at any time, including our use of your personal information. If you terminate our services, we will not be entitled to any fee for any move-in you make after the date of the termination notice unless either:
1. The assisted living facility or assisted living home you choose within the next twelve months is one that we specifically identify and refer to you after we evaluate your profile and requests but before we receive your notice of termination.
2. You communicate with us before you move into the assisted living facility or assisted living home.
To end our services at any time, reply to any email from us or call Integrity Senior Placement at 480.271.7759.
