About North Central Shores
North Central Shores is an assisted living home in Phoenix, Arizona, offering 24-hour full-service care in a newly constructed 8,000 square foot facility with 10 private bedrooms. The community provides physician-directed medications, custom-designed care plans, assistance with personal hygiene, laundry service, and meals prepared to accommodate individual preferences and dietary needs.
Each private room features a roll-in bathroom, cable television with Wi-Fi, queen or twin bed, and individual furnishings. Common areas include a 440-square-foot activity room with a party kitchen for events and gatherings, a gallery dining room with commissioned local artwork, a demonstration kitchen, and a spacious great room. The facility has extra-wide hallways and doorways designed for wheelchair and walker access, with emergency call systems in each room.
Located on the Arizona Canal near Central and Dunlap, the community is surrounded by native desert vegetation including mesquite and paloverde trees, with extensive landscaping featuring yellow bells, bougainvillea, and lantana. Residents have access to over 800 square feet of outdoor living space on east and west verandas, with views of the canal where neighbors pass daily on walking and biking paths.
The staff includes state-certified caregivers, an experienced assisted living home manager, and a registered nurse on staff. Care plans are customized following medical evaluation and family input on food preferences, activities, sleep patterns, and behavioral needs. The community accommodates a limited number of cooperative memory care residents and maintains flexible policies on bedtimes, family visits, and resident preferences for personal care within state requirements.
The building features modern safety systems including fire alarms with horns and strobes, a sprinkler system, and smoke detection directly connected to a commercial monitoring service and the Phoenix Fire Department. Two full kitchens support meal preparation and accommodate special dietary needs and physician-approved supplements.
