The Monroe by Cogir

Scottsdale is getting a new senior community: The Monroe by Cogir is opening soon at 3380 N Scottsdale Road. Cogir Senior Living is the operator. Plans call for active adult independent living for people 55 and older, along with memory care. The community's own site also mentions assisted living, so families should confirm which care levels will be available when the doors open, since plans for a new building can shift before opening day.

The Monroe describes a proactive philosophy. Rather than waiting for health to decline and then adding care, the plan is to keep residents independent longer through exercise, social connection, continued learning and ties to the cultural arts. The stated aim is for residents to need less intensive care over the years, not only to supply it when the time comes.

Active adult living is aimed at people who want a low-maintenance home and time for hobbies and friends. Meals will be chef-prepared with seasonal ingredients, served restaurant-style, with menus adapted to different diets, and a daily calendar of activities and social events. Memory care will follow the Revere Memory Care approach, which uses personal care plans and relationship-based methods.

Because The Monroe is not yet open, ask about the expected opening date, founding resident terms and deposits. Also ask how the move-in process will work in the first months. Families can compare open communities through senior living in Scottsdale while they wait.
