Elmwood Senior Living in Chandler delivers three levels of care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—within the same campus, allowing residents to move seamlessly between services as needs change. The community is equipped to manage complex medical profiles, including residents who wander or attempt elopement, display combative or other behavioral issues, stay up all night, or require wound care. Clinical staff manage oxygen therapy, special diets, and all forms of diabetic care, from oral medications to injections and sliding-scale insulin. Advanced dementia conditions are accepted, and the team is trained to monitor and redirect residents safely throughout the day and night.
Round-the-clock medical oversight is standard: an RN or LPN is on site 24 hours a day and backed by an on-call nurse at all times. Residents benefit from podiatry visits on campus, and those with psychiatric diagnoses can receive care without leaving the building. Safety measures include background-checked staff, awake night-shift coverage, secured doors with alarms and Wander Guard technology, fenced outdoor areas, emergency pull cords, and personal emergency response systems. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and are trained for every transfer level—from standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound individuals.
Private and semi-private apartments are available, some with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, independent climate controls, and in-unit laundry; furnishings, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate are offered in select units. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are included for residents who do not have laundry machines in their rooms. Independent Living tenants receive the same apartment options but can opt into à-la-carte services if they prefer to handle certain tasks themselves.
Dining is flexible: residents may choose from set menus or on-demand ordering, with snacks offered throughout the day. Meals can be taken in the main dining room, a private family room, or delivered to the apartment for in-room dining. The culinary team manages special diets, including diabetic modifications, low-sodium, gluten-free, and vegetarian plans. Independent Living residents may select a monthly meal plan, allowing them to balance communal dining with home cooking in their own kitchenettes. Medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and laundry services are also available to the Independent Living group on a subscription basis.
Elmwood’s campus supports everyday living with resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, pool, barber and beauty shop, library, and communal gardens. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Additional conveniences include high-speed internet, on-site religious services, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments. Outdoor smoking areas are designated for those who wish to smoke. Contact information can be obtained through the main reception desk for families who would like more details or to arrange a tour.
