Wooddale Village in Sun City, Arizona, is an independent-living community that also makes hospice care available on site. Residents who choose to remain in familiar surroundings during the final stages of life can receive coordinated hospice services without leaving the campus, giving them access to pain management, emotional support and ongoing clinical oversight. Independent living residents benefit from the availability of these medical services while maintaining a lifestyle that emphasizes autonomy.
In addition to hospice coordination, the community supports residents with routine wellness checks, medication reminders and 24-hour emergency response systems. Teams work with outside physicians, pharmacies and rehabilitation providers, streamlining communication when additional medical attention is required. Housekeeping, transportation for medical appointments and scheduled health screenings are included to reduce the logistical burden on residents and families.
Apartment options at this assisted-living facility range in size and layout, and not every unit offers the same features. Depending on the floor plan, residents may find pet-friendly policies, private decks or balconies, cable or satellite television hookups, in-unit air conditioning, access to a central fireplace, or proximity to a shared piano or organ. Outdoor common areas and on-site parking add convenience, and maintenance of both private and shared spaces is handled by staff.
Dining services provide three meals a day with attention to common dietary restrictions. Low- or no-sodium and no-sugar options are routinely available, and menus rotate to incorporate seasonal produce. Meals can be taken in a communal dining room or carried out for private consumption, allowing residents to choose the setting that best fits their routines.
Residents have access to a library and computer lounge for quiet study or internet use, an activity center that hosts yoga and chair-yoga classes, social clubs, birthday gatherings and regular happy hours. Live music, dances and organized social outings keep the calendar active. Leisure amenities include a swimming pool, jacuzzi and scheduled time for water exercise.
