CANYON CREEK ASSISTED LIVING & MEMORY CARE

Canyon Creek Assisted Living & Memory Care is a licensed assisted living home on East Canyon Creek Drive in Gilbert, Arizona. State licensing records from the Arizona Department of Health Services list a capacity of 10 residents and approval to provide directed care, the highest of Arizona's three assisted living service levels, which allows the community to serve residents who are unable to direct their own care, including many people living with dementia.

Canyon Creek Assisted Living & Memory Care is a family-owned residential care home in a Gilbert neighborhood that offers both assisted living and memory care in a house setting. Each resident has a private, furnished room with a private bathroom, a 43-inch television, and a call pendant for summoning help. Caregivers are awake and on duty 24 hours a day, and registered nurses, a nurse practitioner, and physicians make visits to the home.

Three home-cooked meals are served each day, and the home arranges transportation and has salon services. Outside there is a pool, walking paths, raised garden beds, and fruit trees. The home's most recent state inspection in June 2025 found no deficiencies. In Arizona, assisted living homes are residential settings that serve ten or fewer residents, and they are licensed by the Department of Health Services at the same three service levels as larger centers.

Supervisory care covers general supervision and help in an emergency, personal care adds hands-on help with activities such as bathing, dressing, and medications, and directed care is for residents who can no longer recognize danger or direct their own care. A small home usually means a shared living room and dining table, fewer residents per caregiver, and a quieter daily routine than a large community.

Offering assisted living and memory care in the same home means a resident whose memory changes over time may be able to move to the memory care setting without moving to another home. It helps to ask how that transition is decided and who is involved. Arizona rules require an assisted living facility to prepare a written service plan for each resident that describes the care and services to be provided, and to review and update it as needs change.

Families can ask to take part in that review and to learn who to call when something in the plan no longer fits. Families can look up a community's license and inspection history on the state's AZ Care Check website before a visit, and reading recent inspection reports can show how a community has responded to any past findings. The Gilbert address keeps the community within reach of the area's hospitals, shopping, and services.
