The Groves

Last verified: October 2026 against ADHS AZ Care Check · License ALC20024

Is The Groves licensed by the State of Arizona?

Yes. The Groves holds an active ADHS Assisted Living Center license, number ALC20024, for 142 residents, as shown on AZ Care Check on October 24, 2026. The current license period runs from December 23, 2025 to December 22, 2026.

What level of care is The Groves licensed to provide?

The Groves is licensed for supervisory care, personal care and directed care. Of its 142 licensed beds, 55 are directed care (the Arizona level for memory care) and 87 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 The Groves?

AZ Care Check lists 5 ADHS inspections for The Groves since November 24, 2025. 1 of the inspection summaries report cited deficiencies and 3 report none; the most recent was a complaint inspection on July 15, 2026.

By type: 4 complaint, 1 change of ownership. Complaint investigations are opened when anyone files a complaint, so a large community like this one (142 beds, the 39th 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 does The Groves compare with other Goodyear assisted living centers?

The Groves is licensed for 142 residents, about 1.5 times the median Assisted Living Center in Maricopa and Pinal counties (96 beds), and is one of 3 licensed centers in Goodyear.

By licensed capacity it ranks #1 of 3 in Goodyear. Its 55 directed care beds are 39% of its license and 100% of all directed care center beds in Goodyear. 2 of the other Goodyear centers have held their current license longer.

How much does assisted living cost near The Groves?

The Groves'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 The Groves?

Start with the state record, then verify it in person: the current license dates only to December 23, 2025, and AZ Care Check shows a change-of-ownership inspection, so the operator may be new even if the building is not.

• Open the 1 inspection 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 35 other licensed options within three miles.

What should you ask on a tour of The Groves?

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.

1. How many of the directed care beds are occupied, and is the memory care area secured?
2. What dementia training do memory care caregivers complete, and how often is it renewed?
3. Who administers medications on nights and weekends?
4. How are falls reported to families?
5. What happens when a resident needs a hospital stay and returns with higher needs?
6. Can we see the residency agreement and the full fee schedule before we commit?
7. Will you share the last ADHS inspection report for license ALC20024?
