Desert Cove Assisted Living in Scottsdale operates as a residential care home and is equipped to manage a wide spectrum of medical needs. The care team is experienced with residents who wander during the day or night, have elopement risk, display combative or other behavioral issues, or remain awake through the night. Clinical oversight extends to wound care, oxygen therapy, and complex dietary requirements, including special diets and all forms of diabetic management—oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale regimens. The community also accepts residents under 60 years of age and supports individuals living with advanced dementia.

Around-the-clock staffing includes a nurse on call 24 hours a day, complemented by staff members on site at all times. All employees undergo background checks, and security measures such as alarmed doors, fenced outdoor areas, and personal emergency response systems are in place. Night coverage is provided by an asleep shift, and podiatry visits are available on site. The community is able to accommodate residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Full assistance is offered for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and transfer capabilities range from walker and wheelchair help to one-person, two-person, and full mechanical or Hoyer lift support, including care for individuals who are bed-bound.

Accommodation options include rooms that may feature a private bathroom, basic furnishings, cable service, and the ability for residents to paint or decorate to their taste; availability of these features varies by unit. The physical environment is wheelchair accessible, and internet access is provided throughout the building.

Meals are served three times daily with both set menus and made-to-order selections. Snacks are available between meals, and staff can handle diet modifications and medical nutrition management as prescribed by physicians.

Additional amenities and services include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, on-site religious services, and the option to keep pets. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
