Cogir of Fountain Hills

Next door to Fountain Hills Park, at 16800 E. Paul Nordin Parkway, Cogir of Fountain Hills provides assisted living and memory care. This building was previously listed as MorningStar of Fountain Hills, and Cogir Senior Living now operates it. Families who knew the old name will find the same address under the new operator. The park next door gives residents and visiting family an easy place for a short outing.

Assisted living covers help with everyday tasks, managing medications and keeping an eye on health, with trained staff available 24 hours a day. Three meals a day plus snacks come with the plan, served restaurant-style in a full-service dining room, with private dining and a 24-hour bistro also available. Linen service and housekeeping are covered, and apartments have roomy bathrooms and kitchenettes.

Memory care follows the Revere Memory Care approach, using personal care plans and relationship-based methods, with certified dementia care programs for residents living with Alzheimer's or another dementia. Physical, occupational and speech therapy are offered on site, which saves trips for residents recovering from a fall or illness. An emergency response system is in place.

Outside, residents have landscaped grounds and walking paths, plus transportation, fitness programs and salon and spa spaces. Families comparing options can review senior living in Fountain Hills and should ask how the change in operator affected staffing and rates. A written list of what the monthly rate covers makes comparison easier.
