What level of care is Cadence Chandler licensed to provide?
Cadence Chandler is licensed for supervisory care, personal care and directed care. Of its 234 licensed beds, 26 are directed care (the Arizona level for memory care) and 208 are personal care.
This mixed license is common for larger Valley communities: residents who need help with daily activities live in the assisted living side, and residents with dementia live in a secured directed care neighborhood, so a resident whose memory declines may be able to move within the same community. The three ADHS levels are defined on the ADHS provider type definitions page.
What do ADHS inspection records show for Cadence Chandler?
AZ Care Check lists 1 ADHS inspection for Cadence Chandler since April 8, 2026. 0 of the inspection summaries report cited deficiencies and 0 report none; the most recent was a change of ownership inspection on April 8, 2026.
By type: 1 change of ownership. Complaint investigations are opened when anyone files a complaint, so a large community like this one (234 beds, the 4th largest center in the two counties) will usually have more of them than a small one. Read the deficiency details, not just the count.

How much does assisted living cost near Cadence Chandler?
Cadence Chandler's prices are not part of the state record, so ask the community for its current written rates. Across the Phoenix metro, this site's cost guide puts typical assisted living at about $3,200 to $6,800 a month, with memory care (directed care) usually $1,000 to $2,000 a month higher.
Because this license includes directed care, expect the memory care neighborhood to be priced above the assisted living apartments. Most Valley communities charge a base rent plus a care-level fee that rises with assessed needs; ask how often residents are reassessed and how much notice you get before a rate change. ALTCS, Arizona's Medicaid long-term care program, can pay for care services (not room and board) at participating facilities — see ALTCS eligibility; wartime veterans and surviving spouses may also qualify for VA Aid and Attendance.

How should families evaluate Cadence Chandler?
Start with the state record, then verify it in person: the current license dates only to April 20, 2026, and AZ Care Check shows a change-of-ownership inspection, so the operator may be new even if the building is not.
- None of the inspection summaries in AZ Care Check's window reports cited deficiencies; confirm the date of the last full annual compliance inspection.
- At 234 licensed beds this is a large community; ask how care staff are assigned across buildings or floors and who covers nights.
- Visit at a mealtime and again in the evening; compare the feel with one or two of the 60 other licensed options within three miles.
What should you ask on a tour of Cadence Chandler?
Bring questions that test the license against daily reality: who provides directed care, how many caregivers are on each shift, and what would require your parent to move out.

- What dementia training do memory care caregivers complete, and how often is it renewed?
- Who administers medications on nights and weekends?

- What happens when a resident needs a hospital stay and returns with higher needs?
