Brookdale North Scottsdale in Scottsdale, Arizona delivers two levels of care—Assisted Living and Memory Care—and is equipped to handle a wide spectrum of medical needs. Residents who wander during the day or night, exhibit exit-seeking behavior, or remain awake overnight can be safely accommodated, and the community has protocols for advanced dementia conditions. Clinical staff manage wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes in all forms, including oral medication, injections, and sliding-scale insulin. The team also accepts younger adults under 60 who need long-term support.
An RN or LPN is on staff, a nurse is on call around the clock, and awake night shift caregivers monitor residents continuously. All employees undergo background checks, and the building maintains 24-hour security with pull-cord and personal emergency response systems that alert staff immediately. On-site services include visiting podiatrists, audiologists, and dentists, as well as a dedicated therapy room. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they are trained for every level of transfer help—from supervising a resident with a walker to operating a Hoyer lift for someone who is bed bound.
Apartments vary in layout and amenities, but options may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, cable service, in-unit laundry, and the ability to paint or decorate the space to personal taste; not every unit has every feature. Housekeeping is provided, and scheduled laundry services are available for residents whose apartments do not have washers and dryers. For individuals who choose Independent Living, the community offers medication-management monitoring, routine housekeeping, and a monthly meal plan so they can add services as needs change.
Dining is flexible. Meals are prepared to order, snacks are available at any time, and the culinary team manages physician-ordered diets, mechanical-chopped or puréed textures, thickened liquids, vegetarian requests, and other modifications. Independent Living residents who purchase the monthly meal plan can access the same dining room and diet-management services, ensuring continuity if they later transition to higher levels of care.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, landscaped gardens, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, barber and beauty shop, library, and a variety of special-interest clubs and religious services. Internet access, concierge assistance, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments and errands are included. Smoking is permitted outdoors, and pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
