Mosaic Gardens MEMORY CARE of SCOTTSDALE is dedicated exclusively to residents who need Memory Care, with clinical capabilities that address complex and evolving health profiles. The team is experienced in redirecting and supervising individuals who wander during the day or night, managing elopement risks, and supporting residents who may become combative. Licensed personnel handle routine and complex wound care, administer oxygen therapy, and customize special-diet meal plans. Diabetes oversight covers oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale protocols, and younger residents under 60 who live with dementia are accepted. On-site physician services and access to a speech therapist further extend the medical scope, and respite or short-term stays are available for families who need temporary placement.
The community operates within a fully secured environment designed to minimize exit seeking and promote safety for cognitively impaired residents. Exterior doors and outdoor areas are monitored, and staff are present around the clock to respond to nighttime wakefulness, behavioral escalations, or urgent medical needs. Caregivers receive ongoing instruction in dementia-specific best practices as well as the facility’s elopement and fall-prevention procedures. Regular health assessments guide personalized care plans, and coordination with outside physicians and therapists helps ensure continuity of treatment.
Apartments are kept practical and comfortable, offering features such as cable service, private bathrooms, furniture, independent temperature controls, and Wi-Fi. Wheelchair-accessible showers and handicap-adapted layouts are available, and some suites allow residents to bring pets, paint walls, or add personal décor. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are included, and most rooms are air conditioned. Not every accommodation includes every feature, so families should confirm specific room layouts and amenities during a tour.
Dining is structured yet flexible. Residents can choose all-day dining or standard mealtimes, and the kitchen prepares a set menu with vegetarian options and routine snacks. Clinical dieticians oversee diet modifications for diabetes, renal issues, and other medical needs, with mechanical-chopped, puréed, and thickened-liquid textures produced on site to meet speech-therapy or swallowing guidelines.
Daily life is supported by an activity center that hosts clubs, chair yoga, reminiscence programs, and live music. A library and computer lounge, indoor and outdoor walking paths, and regularly scheduled social outings add variety, while birthday parties and community events foster social connection. Residents can swim in the on-site pool or simply enjoy allowed outdoor time in secure courtyards, maintaining engagement in a predictable and supervised setting.
