Garden Ridge in Peoria, AZ, provides two levels of residential care. Independent Living is available for residents who can manage most daily tasks on their own but prefer the convenience and security of a staffed community. Assisted Living is offered for individuals who need help with activities such as bathing, dressing, mobility, or medication reminders. Both options are designed to adjust the amount of daily assistance to match each resident’s needs and to allow for changes over time without requiring a move to another community.

Additional health-related support is integrated into everyday life at Garden Ridge. On-site professionals deliver medication management, routine dental visits, podiatry care, incontinence services, and ambulatory assistance. Residents with chronic conditions benefit from focused diabetes care, and scheduled visits with a speech therapist support communication or swallowing challenges. Occupational and physical therapists are available for rehabilitation or to help residents maintain strength and balance, while hospice services can be coordinated when advanced care becomes necessary.

Apartments and shared suites vary in layout and features, but all are designed for safety and accessibility. Options may include wheelchair-accessible showers, handicap-friendly floor plans, individual climate control, and cable or satellite TV. Select units may also offer balconies, patios, or decks, and many have views of landscaped outdoor areas. The community is pet friendly, provides convenient parking, and includes common spaces such as a central fireplace, a piano or organ for resident use, and multiple seating areas. Not every accommodation contains every feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to verify details during a tour.

Daily meals are prepared on site and are included in the monthly fee. The dining team plans menus that can be adapted for common medical diets, including small-portion or low-sugar options for residents managing diabetes. Staff members monitor nutritional intake when needed and can coordinate with speech or occupational therapists to address swallowing or texture modifications. Family and guests may join residents for meals with advance notice.

Residents have access to an activity center, a library and computer lounge, fitness programs, a swimming pool, and a jacuzzi. Social events range from happy hour gatherings and birthday parties to clubs, live music, and organized outings in the local area. Outdoor spaces are available for relaxation, and the community schedules regular exercise and aquatic sessions to encourage mobility and wellness.
