West Drive Assisted Living and Memory Care in Scottsdale, Arizona, operates as a residential care home equipped to serve older adults who need standard assistance as well as those living with advanced dementia. The community is prepared for residents who wander at any hour, exhibit elopement risks, display combative or other behavioral concerns, or remain awake throughout the night. Clinical oversight extends to wound management, supplemental oxygen use, special diets, and diabetic care whether managed by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Adults under 60 who require these same supports are also accepted, allowing families facing early-onset conditions to find an appropriate setting.
Care delivery is backed by 24-hour security and staff presence, with an awake night shift and door alarms on exits; a fenced rear area further protects residents prone to wandering. A nurse is on call around the clock, and the home accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the team handles transfers ranging from stand-by help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift moves for those who are bed-bound. Personal Emergency Response Systems alert staff instantly when a resident needs help, and routine background checks help maintain a safe environment for everyone.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and some feature private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, furnished setups, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided, though not every accommodation includes every feature, so families should confirm room details during a tour.
Meals are served three times a day using both set menus and on-order options, with snacks available between meals and the choice to dine in-room when needed. The kitchen can accommodate physician-ordered diets, including gluten-free offerings, mechanical-chopped or pureed textures, thickened liquids, vegetarian selections, and other modifications designed by staff for residents with medical or swallowing issues.
Residents and visitors have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, internet, and communal garden space. Those who smoke may do so in designated outdoor areas. Transportation to appointments and local errands can be arranged, and religious services are provided on the premises for those who wish to participate.
