The Heritage Tradition in Sun City West, AZ provides both Assisted Living and Independent Living, with particular emphasis on medical oversight. Licensed nurses coordinate services that include wound care, oxygen management, special diet monitoring, support for residents under 60, and care for diabetics who rely on oral medication. Staff are also prepared to work with residents experiencing mild dementia, offering structure and reminders that help maintain daily routines while respecting personal independence.
Around-the-clock staffing and security systems reinforce safety. An RN or LPN is on site, background checks are completed on all employees, and personal emergency response systems alert staff at any hour. A dedicated therapy room allows visiting clinicians to deliver rehabilitative services without residents having to leave the property. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they are trained in every level of transfer support—from simple standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers for bed-bound individuals. These capabilities make it possible for residents to stay in the community even as their physical needs change.
Apartments vary in size and layout, and not every unit includes every feature, but available options can include cable service, in-unit laundry machines, and scheduled housekeeping. Residents in Independent Living receive weekly housekeeping that covers basic cleaning, linen changes, and trash removal, helping them keep an uncluttered home environment without sacrificing autonomy.
Meals follow a set menu that rotates regularly, with staff able to implement diet modifications for medical or personal reasons, including low-sugar, low-sodium, or texture-modified plans. Snacks are available throughout the day, which is useful for residents who require smaller, more frequent meals or blood-sugar management. Dining staff coordinate closely with clinical teams to ensure every plate aligns with physician orders.
Beyond direct care, The Heritage Tradition offers resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, a wellness center, high-speed internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge assistance, a library, an outdoor pool, and several special-interest clubs. A community shuttle is available for scheduled medical appointments, and public transportation stops are nearby for residents who prefer to travel independently.
