Chaparral Winds Assisted Living in Surprise, AZ offers three levels of residential support: Assisted Living, Independent Living, and a secured Memory Care program. The clinical team is prepared to handle complex medical profiles, including residents who wander day or night, present elopement risks, display combative or other behavioral issues, or remain awake overnight. Nurses monitor chronic conditions such as diabetes—whether managed by oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin—provide wound care, oversee oxygen therapy, and supervise special diets. The community also accepts residents under 60 and supports advanced dementia, making it a fit for families who need a wide scope of medical oversight in one setting.
Around-the-clock nursing coverage is a standard; an RN or LPN is on site 24 hours and an additional nurse remains on call. Every staff member undergoes background checks, and night shifts are staffed by both awake and asleep caregivers to match resident needs. Safety measures include 24-hour security, fenced outdoor areas, alarmed doors, WanderGuard technology, and pull cords that can alert staff or dial 911 directly. On-site providers such as a podiatrist and mental-health professionals complement routine medical rounds. Caregivers can give full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and are trained for all transfer levels, from walker support to two-person or Hoyer-lift moves for bed-bound residents.
Apartments range from studio to larger floor plans, and not every unit includes the same features, but many offer private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent climate controls, basic furnishings, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided for assisted and memory-care residents, while some Independent Living units have in-suite laundry for those who prefer doing it themselves. Independent Living also includes weekly housekeeping, linen service, and an optional monthly meal plan that residents can purchase according to their own schedules.
Meals are prepared daily, with both set menus and made-to-order choices available in the main dining room. Snacks are stocked throughout the day, and staff can deliver trays for in-room dining or set up gatherings in a private dining space for family celebrations. The culinary team manages diet modifications ranging from gluten-free, vegetarian, and heart-healthy menus to mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid textures prescribed by speech or dietary therapists. Physicians and nursing staff coordinate directly with the kitchen to ensure therapeutic diets and caloric goals are met.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-friendly common areas, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments, shopping, and social outings. Amenities include outdoor smoking areas, a pet-friendly policy—It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed—barber and beauty services, an exercise room, movie theater, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, a library, a swimming pool, special-interest clubs, and regular religious services held on campus.
