When the focus shifts from cure to comfort, families need a place that feels like home and a team that understands what matters most. Ivy Senior Living provides compassionate hospice care in Scottsdale, Arizona, in coordination with your chosen hospice provider — wrapped in the warmth of a small, family-owned community.
Hospice is a philosophy of care, not a place. It can be provided at home, in a hospital, or in a residential community like ours. For many Scottsdale families, an at-home hospice arrangement is ideal — but for others, the demands of caregiving, the layout of the home, or the lack of round-the-clock support make it untenable.
Ivy Senior Living offers a third option: a private suite in a small, home-like community where your loved one is cared for around the clock by people they know. We coordinate closely with your chosen hospice agency — their nurses, aides, social workers, and chaplains visit our home — and we provide the daily presence, comfort, and continuity that makes the difference.
Family members can visit any time. There are no rigid hours, no antiseptic hospital halls — just a quiet, dignified place to be together.
In partnership with your hospice provider, we deliver:
Daily presence and care that supports the hospice team's plan — repositioning, gentle bathing, hydration, and a calm environment that prioritizes comfort.
Trained caregivers on site around the clock, so families do not have to choose between rest and being there.
Private suites that feel like a bedroom, not a hospital. Bring familiar furniture, photos, music, and the things that make your loved one feel safe.
Open visiting, space for family meals, support during difficult moments, and continued care for surviving loved ones afterward.
Direct communication between our caregivers and your hospice nurses, aides, social workers, and chaplains so nothing falls through the cracks.
Respect for your loved one's faith traditions, language preferences, and personal rituals. Our staff is bilingual in English and Spanish.

A few of the most common questions families ask us about hospice care in Scottsdale:
Hospice is generally appropriate when a physician believes someone has a life expectancy of about six months or less if the illness runs its expected course, and the person has decided to focus on comfort rather than curative treatment. Many families wait longer than they wish they had — speaking with a hospice team earlier, even for an evaluation, often gives more time and better quality of life.
The Medicare hospice benefit covers most hospice services — the hospice care team, medications related to the terminal illness, and medical equipment. Room and board at a residential setting like ours is typically paid privately or through long-term care insurance. We will help you understand exactly what is and is not covered for your situation.
Yes — and this is one of the most important reasons families choose us. When a resident's needs change, we can transition them to hospice care in the same suite, with the same caregivers and friends. They do not have to move at the hardest time.
We coordinate with most major hospice providers serving the Scottsdale and Phoenix metro area. If you already have a hospice provider, we will integrate with their care plan. If you do not yet, we are happy to suggest providers we have worked well with.
These conversations are hard. Our role is to listen, answer your questions honestly, and help your family find the right path. Whether that ends up being us or someone else, you will leave the call with more clarity than you started with.
