In our words

State records put the home's capacity at 42 residents.

The community is at 8435 East McDowell Road in Scottsdale (Maricopa County). Its website describes a memory care community that opened in 1994 and shares a campus with Plaza Healthcare, which is how the company is named on the site. In ADHS records, the company appears as Plaza HC Holding Company, LLC.

According to its website, staff are trained in Alzheimer's and dementia care, with medication technicians, certified caregivers and a full-time activities department on site around the clock, and the average employee has been there over eight years. The monthly rate covers physician and nurse practitioner oversight, on-site physician visits, all meals and snacks, special diets and planned daily activities, with religious services every Sunday. There is an on-site salon, and there are courtyards, one of them described as shaded.

Ask who works at night and how long the caregivers have been there. You cannot tell that from a photo, so ask in person.
