I would definitely recommend my family and friends to consider this place for one of their loved ones.”
“My wife and I have been living at Verena for 4 years now after trying two other communities. No comparison; Verena is far above the other two. If you are looking for a clean, friendly place to live with great food, this is the place at a reasonable price.”
“A BIG THANK YOU to Kevin Pugh for his time, knowledge and professionalism. Last October my mom moved from Pebble Ranch into The Oaks Assisted Living community. Kevin made the transition quick and seamless. I highly recommend The Oaks and Kevin Pugh on senior living transitions.”

How families pay for independent living in Arizona
Most families in Arizona pay for assisted living, memory care and independent living with private funds, often drawing on savings, retirement income and the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a parent or spouse purchased a policy years ago, can also help cover the monthly cost, though the amount and terms vary by policy. Veterans and surviving spouses who meet the eligibility rules may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that adds a monthly payment on top of a standard VA pension and can be applied toward the cost of care.
