About The Gardens of Sun City
The Gardens of Sun City is an assisted living center in Sun City, Maricopa County. As of September 2026, ADHS records show it licensed for 83 residents at the directed care level.
The website names each apartment and gives its size: studios called Cornwall, York and Nottingham at 250, 325 and 350 square feet, and a one bedroom called Kent at 450 square feet.
For daily life, the website describes restaurant-style meals developed by a chef, a full-service barber and beauty salon, transportation and a pet-friendly policy. On the care side it lists medication management and in-house doctor visits, and its team page includes a licensed practical nurse.

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.
