Why we partner with SafelyYou for our Memory Care residents
Those living with dementia fall an average of four times per year. Most can’t tell you how they fell, which makes it hard to know what happened—and even harder to keep it from happening again. But SafelyYou real-time, AI-enabled cameras record only the events surrounding an on-the-ground event, so staff can see how a fall happened and determine its severity, preventing unnecessary ER visits, reducing costs, and helping to keep repeat falls from occurring. And SafelyYou clinical experts partner with on-site staff to help develop fall prevention strategies and create more person-centered care.

Testimonials
The staff at Avista are professional, friendly and super caring. I highly recommend Avista for any memory care issues. They were amazing and got my mother-in-law processed-in lightning fast (they even offered to help me put together a bed frame!) They kept me posted with pics and updates which was very appreciated. They cared so much and it touched me the way she worked with my mother-in-law. I always felt Mom was given the absolute best care.
Avista Sun City West is an outstanding facility that feels like home. The caregivers treat residents with kindness and warmth, and the leadership team is committed to supporting the residents. The wellness director ensures that all clinical needs are met with the highest standards. It’s a caring community where residents are truly valued. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a wonderful place for their loved ones!
When I started looking for options for my neighbor and her husband, I told them about Avista and the great things I had heard. After 3 months of our loved one staying at Avista, I am pleased to say the talk of the town is true. Avista specializes in memory care which is why we selected it and we are glad we did. Thanks for making us smile through the tough times.
This facility is a dream come true! Consistently meeting the needs of everyone who arrives, and staff is so helpful! Kendra is amazing with the residents and has helped me significantly on more than 1 occasion.
The Avista team truly cares about its residents. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a daughter again , as I was caregiver for mom for years. I can sleep at night, and it’s all to this wonderful team. Kendra, Melissa, Angie, and many more -thank you!
When looking to learn more about quality memory care, my family was blessed to have Kendra assist and educate us on our options. We are so thankful for time they put into those looking into memory care for their loved ones.
Having to place my loved one was the hardest decision we made. Avista Sun City West has been a Godsend. The care and love shown to my mom is only second to a family member. The staff work hard and care so much about all the residents.
As a home health clinician who has worked in several Avista Senior Living communities throughout the valley, as a West Valley resident I am glad they are making their presence here. I have known this building under several different ownership groups since it first opened in 2011 and this is quite honestly the best I’ve ever seen it. The passion care and commitment that I have seen in their other Phoenix Metro area buildings is already making a positive mark here.
This is an absolutely stunning campus! You can tell the staff genuinely care about the residents. Always clean, the food is excellent. This is the type of community I would trust to have my own parents live at.
This place is absolutely incredible ! all the staff are so kind to my mother and she genuinely is happy there. Its never easy to place our loved ones in a nursing home but my family and I feel we made the right choice with this place.
This is an outstanding memory care community! The staff is attentive, caring, and professional. They will go the extra mile for their residents. On top of this, the facility is beautiful. Definitely worth a look!

Stepping up for our community 👟✨Some of our Avista leadership team had the honor of volunteering with the Share the Spirit Foundation, helping provide new shoes to local elementary students.
