About North Central Shores Assisted Living

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.

I am so thankful that I found North Central Shores for my stepmother. From my first visit I was highly impressed by the beauty and cleanliness of the house, and the professionalism and caring of the owner and the staff. My stepmom felt safe and cared for, and I felt so much better knowing she was in a place where people really cared about her physical and emotional safety. I was always welcomed when I visited or called, and Tom and Manuela were always available when I had questions or concerns. I can't thank them enough for the care and support my stepmom and I received.

My sister-in-law was at this facility for quite a while and our family was so thankful for the care she received. She required a high level of care and North Central Shores not only met but surpassed our hopes and expectations. The entire staff was amazing, checking on her every few hours, delivering excellent medical care and asking how they could make her more comfortable. Our family was continually kept informed of her medical condition/needs, even on the smallest changes. The facility was always very clean and organized, yet made to feel like a home-away-from-home. My sister-in-law was quite picky about her meals, but she truly enjoyed the food here. The cooks would often cater to what she liked and baked special desserts like peach cobbler and lemon meringue pie. If you have a loved one that needs an assisted living facility, North Central Shores will not disappoint!

How our free service works, and how we are paid

Arizona asks us to share this with you in writing before we introduce you to a community.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.

Arizona law requires that we provide you with the following disclosure notice.

We are in the business of referring residents to assisted living facilities and assisted living homes. We will be paid by the assisted living facility or assisted living home if you move into one of the referred assisted living facilities or assisted living homes. The fee we receive from the assisted living facility or assisted living home into which you move typically ranges from 50 to 80 percent of your first month's rent and care charges. We do have a current business relationship but we do not have a common ownership or control in, or any other financial, business, management or familial relationship with, any of the assisted living homes and assisted living facilities to which we are referring you.

By providing us with a written or electronic notice, you have the right to terminate our services to you at any time, including our use of your personal information. If you terminate our services, we will not be entitled to any fee for any move-in you make after the date of the termination notice unless either:

1. The assisted living facility or assisted living home you choose within the next twelve months is one that we specifically identify and refer to you after we evaluate your profile and requests but before we receive your notice of termination.

2. You communicate with us before you move into the assisted living facility or assisted living home.
