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.

DreamFlights Day 2024
We’re excited to share a heartwarming glimpse into a truly special event. Teaming up with the inspiring nonprofit organization DreamFlights, we were honored to give some of our cherished residents an unforgettable experience: a ride in a restored WW2-era plane for veterans.
This remarkable event embodies our commitment to enriching the lives of our residents, fostering meaningful interactions, and creating lasting memories.
Mesa Senior Living Options
Assisted Living
When someone needs a little extra help in their day-to-day activities, our staff is here to help. We offer assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), such as medication management, bathing, and getting dressed. While we offer the personal care services our residents need, we also do so in a way that fosters the independence our residents crave.
Our levels of care are tailored to each individual resident. We provide housekeeping, dining, and day-to-day support that you or your loved one may need so that they can focus on what’s important: doing whatever they please, each and every day. You can schedule a tour of our Mesa assisted living community today by giving us a call at (480) 418-6727 or filling out our contact form below.
Memory Care
Memory care is specialized care within an assisted living setting where 24-hour care is offered for people living with dementia or other forms of cognitive impairment. Our community team strives to provide a caring environment for residents, focusing on improving their quality of life and supporting them through their journey.
When a loved one is diagnosed with memory-related illnesses, it takes a significant toll on the resident and their family members. Here at The Summit at Sunland Springs, we take memory care seriously and work to make our residents’ lives whole so that they can thrive and have days filled with purpose.

Benefits Of Assisted Living
1. Transportation services
At some point, owning a vehicle is just too much of a hassle. Our assisted living community offers reliable transportation to local shopping, events, and doctor appointments. Trusted transport gets residents where they need to go precisely when they need to go, and on time.
2. Healthier, happier future
Moving into assisted living is a move into a lifestyle that promotes healthy senior living, and opens up many options for the future. Each resident has a custom care plan regularly evaluated by our medical team. If needs should change over time, we see it as it happens, resulting in early diagnosis and, inevitably, better treatment options for the future.
3. Peace of mind
The things we do and how we work together create the ultimate and most important benefit – peace of mind. Friends and family of residents can rest easy, knowing their loved one is well cared for in a home-like environment. Our residents themselves rest at ease knowing that they have the support they need available for them every day.
4. Prevents social isolation
Seniors living at home alone are at a higher risk for social isolation and increased feelings of loneliness and depression. At our community, our residents live in a dynamic community environment with friends and staff who encourage participation in events and socialization. It is an excellent opportunity for residents to make new friends, get to know the staff, and feel connected to a larger community of people in the same chapter of life.
5. 24/7 compassionate care
Residents in our community receive personalized care to ensure that all their needs are being met. Our staff members are well-trained to provide the attention and care that our residents need with compassion.
6. A focus on independence and fun
While our community is a great place to receive care, we place a big emphasis on independence and fun. We know that fun is an essential part of aging gracefully, and our community has a variety of fun activities.
7. Free time
It’s due time to put aside the housework, yard work, and home maintenance. There is no more shoveling the snow, mowing the lawn, or repairing the house. Enjoy hassle-free senior care where you don’t have to worry about the cleaning or the cooking anymore. It’s our pleasure to do the work for each of our residents, allowing them to find a hobby or invest more time into a lifelong interest.
8. Delicious dining
Healthy residents are happy residents, and the meals served at our community are specifically created to benefit senior health. Cooking for yourself can be challenging, especially if you are alone. With nutritious meals prepared by our chefs, residents in our community enjoy delicious meals packed with nutrients. Our elegant dining room encourages mealtimes with friends, making each meal more than "just a meal", but a social event.
Share A Meal With Us
We take great pride in our dining program at Avista Senior Living. Our Dining Services Directors lead trained team members who enjoy culinary arts and love to serve our residents. We provide three delicious meals throughout the day, and our team can accommodate a variety of specific dietary needs. Whether it’s a made-to order-breakfast, or the many options offered daily, variety is readily available while our servers deliver a smile to each table.
Our residents look forward to each meal, not only for the delicious food, but for the time to gather with friends. We love having family and friends dine with us, especially on festive occasions such as birthdays and holidays.

Testimonials
Ron H
I cannot speak highly enough about The Summit at Sunland Springs. From the leadership of the Executive Director to every member of the staff, it is clear that this community is built on genuine care and compassion for its residents. Their commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of the facility. The environment is beautifully maintained—clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed to support both comfort and safety. One particularly valuable aspect of their service is the partnership with Trask Mobile Medical. This collaboration has significantly reduced the need for outside medical appointments, providing convenient and comprehensive care directly on-site. If you are seeking a top-rated assisted living facility in the East Valley, I wholeheartedly recommend The Summit at Sunland Springs. Their dedication to resident well-being, combined with a vibrant community atmosphere, sets them apart as a truly exceptional choice.
Rick L
Mom has been in independent living at The Summit nearly 2 years and we have been very pleased in all aspects. There is a strong sense of community and both staff and residents are welcoming. The facility is about 9 years old and was specifically built as a senior living home. A unique aspect is that independent and assisted living rooms are indistinguishable. Residents who need to advance from independent to assisted don’t have to move. They stay in their apartment and assistance comes to them, rather than moving to an assisted section. This integration precludes any stigma associated with assistance. The facility very clean and well maintained. Food variety and quality is good. Staff in all departments are friendly, responsive and professional. Resident or family questions or requests are promptly addressed. We especially appreciate local ownership and management, a welcome rarity in senior living. We have have no significant concerns and recommend The Summit without any reservation. They serve as a model for what senior living facilities should be.
Joseph L.
My wife and I live at this community and the staff is very pleasant and thorough. They have a good variety in the meals and if you don’t like something you can order something else on the menu. The housekeeping is also excellent. They clean in the hallways and I run my fingers over the top of the pictures and I never get any dust on my fingers. They do a great job. Maintenance also does a really good job and keeps the building looking excellent. Anytime you have a problem you just have to let them know and then they are there right away. The care staff is really great too. Overall everything is very good.
Joni G.
Mom lives at the community and I recommend it to people. Management has always been friendly and professional. The apartment she has is all she needs and the building maintenance is satisfactory. She goes to their library and they have a wonderful selection. The whole place is always clean when I’m there and they vacuum mom’s place once a week. The healthcare staff is respectful, knowledgeable and accessible. She feels safe, comfortable, and we really enjoy it there for mom.
Carla O.
The management staff of this community are all kind and nice.They are all awesome and my mom loves Scott. The healthcare staff are great too.The dining is great and every time I have eaten there the food has been super. The activities are awesome too. My mom’s place is always clean and the housekeepers will do her bedding and make her bed as well. The building is beautiful and well kept too. I would recommend this community to others. I have told a lot of people about it.
J L Bernard
We moved my dad to The Summit about 1 1/2 years ago. Best decision we ever made. And he will agree. The Summit is modern, very clean and run professionally with so much compassion, love and employees eager to please. Dad loves his eggs Benedict for breakfast most mornings and the delicious soups made daily. The Summit has taken so much pressure off me and I know my Dad is much happier there than living with me.
Vicky C
The Summit is a wonderful facility for my Mom, she loves it and is well taken care of. The process of moving her in and getting settled was easy and painless. There are a multitude of activities for her to participate in. It has taken a huge burden off our family knowing that she is happy and thriving.
Elaine M.
“We had confidence that my mom was receiving the appropriate attention and care she needed which took pressure off of me to be there constantly. I am grateful to Summit for my very positive experience during a difficult period of my mom’s life and I recommend them to anyone who needs assisted care.”
Chris H
“They’ve bent over backwards to make sure she is comfortable and worked with our budget. They’ve helped me time and again with any problem I’ve come up with. They have always been there and addressed it with me. My mom has no complaints and always likes the food there. It is always clean. I’ve had a couple things that I called in to maintenance, they fixed it right away. The care is excellent. So far, I have no complaints.”
Shannon W
“We’d recommend it to anybody. The one thing that our family loves about this place and probably what sold my mom, is my sisters and I enjoy a clean smelling and clean looking places. And we enjoy the cleanliness of it at all. I think they take care of everything as best they can. It’s always just been a pleasant experience.”
Cindy F
“He has come a long way from the day we moved him into The Summit and that is due in very large part to the excellent care you all provided for him and the sense of well being he was surrounded by. We don’t have words to express our gratitude–I will recommend your facility far and wide–it is an incredible place.”
Denise E
My dad lives at the community and he feels safe & comfortable. When you walk up, the building has an inviting appearance. The management is transparent with any topics that we’ve discussed and I feel very confident with them. The healthcare staff is respectful, accessible and responsive. Housekeeping is good and they keep dad well informed on when they’re coming. Their activity people do a good job of interacting with the residents, their outside entertainment was top notch and you can see that a lot of hard work was done by the staff for holidays. Overall, it’s a very friendly environment and I just appreciate every single staff member there.
Landus F
This community exceeded my expectations and the price here was exceptional. This place is immaculate and if my mom needed something done, maintenance was there within a few minutes. If I ever had a concern, the caregivers would take care of it immediately. It was unbelievable. There are other communities that are great, but they are still a step down from this community. She was here for three years and I didn’t ever regret my decision to put her here. I would recommend them to anyone and I would say someone is a fool for not choosing this community.
