What level of care is Sunrise of North Scottsdale licensed to provide?

Sunrise of North Scottsdale is licensed for directed care across all 149 directed care beds, which in Arizona is the service level for residents with dementia who cannot recognize danger or make basic care decisions.

A directed-care-only license usually means a dedicated memory care community. Ask whether every area is secured and how the community handles residents whose needs move beyond what directed care allows. The three ADHS levels are defined on the ADHS provider type definitions page.

What do ADHS inspection records show for Sunrise of North Scottsdale?

By type: 3 complaint, 1 compliance (annual), 1 compliance (initial).

How much does assisted living cost near Sunrise of North Scottsdale?

Sunrise of North Scottsdale'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. Compare total monthly cost, not base rent: ask what is included for medication management, incontinence care, escorts to meals and second-person assists. 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 Sunrise of North Scottsdale?

Start with the state record, then verify it in person: the current license dates only to November 15, 2024, and AZ Care Check shows a change-of-ownership inspection, so the operator may be new even if the building is not.

• Open the 2 inspections with cited deficiencies on AZ Care Check and ask the executive director what changed afterward.
• Visit at a mealtime and again in the evening; compare the feel with one or two of the 39 other licensed options within three miles.
