Our signature Enliven Memory Care is based on 5 guiding principles:
Self Expression
Days with purpose-
In order to thrive and grow, we all need to feel purpose. Whether this is recognized in past achievements, in a spiritual sense, in an artful way, or just through daily routine engagement, we let whatever “purpose” means to our residents guide their day. Even if that changes from day-to-day and hour-to-hour in our Scottsdale memory care community.
Comfort in familiarity-
Each person is unique. We support each resident in setting up familiar activities, cues, meals, and more. Then we help add creative moments of expression that are meaningful to their life through our personalized memory care approach.
Relationships
A family-style atmosphere-
Maravilla offers a family-style atmosphere to stimulate relationships. Because, as we’ve seen, when residents build relationships with each other, with family, and with staff, the result is enriching in so many positive ways throughout Maravilla Scottsdale Senior Living.
Encouraging connections-
Our small group and one-on-one engagements encourage friendships to occur naturally. Residents often initiate these relationships themselves. Or staff may work to establish and support them when they see mutual interests, reflecting our personalized memory care approach.
Movement
Movement creates well-being-
Physical and cognitive movement is a large component of a person’s well-being. And those living with dementia are no exception. Therefore, we plan and encourage exercise, movement, and mental stimulation as part of our memory care approach.
Music. Games. Dining-
We approach movement in many different and creative ways: music, brain health games, personalized dining experiences, and more. Dining, in particular, can often promote self-reliance and interaction with others. And we always adapt to each resident as we find what works best for the individual in our Scottsdale memory care community.
Innovation
We stay current-
Dementia research is evolving rapidly, and our memory care Scottsdale AZ approach ensures we stay informed and up to date. We continuously train our teams and maintain essentiALZ® certification through the Alzheimer’s Association, while our Enliven Directors also earn Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) credentials to ensure the highest standard of care.
New research. New ideas-
Within our memory care communities, we translate research into meaningful daily support for residents. This includes the use of engagement technology like Linked Senior, along with personalized brain fitness activities designed to encourage interaction, stimulation, and connection. We also embrace the therapeutic benefits of music, which has been shown to significantly enhance well-being for individuals living with dementia.
Partnership
It truly is a partnership-
When your family and our team work together the results are amazing. So, in the beginning we’ll ask questions. Lots of questions. That way we can develop a person-centered plan that is best suited to your loved one receiving memory care.
Communication-
We believe communication is key to building trust and creating peace of mind. We will work with you to establish a communication cadence that meets your preferences.
Get involved-
Stay connected and informed with support groups and educational presentations. Attend social events to foster connections with other families at Maravilla Scottsdale Senior Living.
The peace of mind of accreditation
You, and your family
You can learn a lot by visiting a community, but how do you measure quality behind the scenes? And how can you have the confidence that the memory care services are top-notch? We suggest starting with communities that have been thoroughly evaluated and accredited.
A State of Mind, Body & Soul
Physical and cognitive fitness play a crucial role in overall well-being, and this holds true even for individuals with dementia. Our holistic Zest wellness program is designed to support every aspect of residents’ well-being through enriching activities that nurture the mind, body, and soul. As part of our memory care approach Scottsdale AZ, these experiences help reduce anxiety, enhance communication skills, build confidence, and promote a greater sense of purpose and connection.

At Maravilla Scottsdale, we understand the importance of these moments, especially for residents living with dementia. As part of our memory care Scottsdale AZ experience, family-style dining is designed to foster connection, comfort, and meaningful social interaction in a warm and welcoming environment.
