Pacifica Senior Living Paradise Valley offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to move between levels of support without leaving the community. The care team is equipped to manage a wide range of medical needs, including day- or night-time wandering, elopement risk, combative or other behavioral concerns, and residents who stay up all night. Clinical oversight extends to complex conditions such as advanced dementia, wound care, oxygen therapy, specialized diets, and diabetes management whether oral, injected, or sliding-scale insulin is required. Residents under age 60 are also accepted, making care plans age-appropriate and individualized.
Clinical staffing includes RNs or LPNs on-site and a nurse on call around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift monitors residents using door alarms, fenced perimeters, pull-cord systems, and personal emergency response pendants. Podiatry, audiology, dental, optometry, and a therapy room are available on site, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Full assistance can be provided with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and transfer help ranges from standby support to two-person or bed-bound transfers for those using walkers or wheelchairs.
Accommodation choices may include private bathrooms, in-unit laundry, cable service, and the option to personalize rooms with paint or décor, though not every apartment has every feature. Regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry services help residents maintain a clean living environment without added stress.
Meals are served from a set menu with snacks always available, and the kitchen can accommodate gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, puréed, or thickened-liquid diets as ordered by a physician or dietitian. Staff monitor nutritional intake and can adjust meal textures or portion sizes to meet changing medical directives.
Residents can spend free time in wheelchair-accessible communal areas, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, and landscaped gardens. Internet access is provided, and on-site religious services and scheduled transportation reduce the need to travel for worship or errands. Outdoor smoking is permitted in designated areas, and pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
