One of the main reasons people choose Sagewood is the continuum of care available on site with Acacia Health Center, offering short- and long-term skilled nursing care, rehabilitation therapies and memory care.
The quality of care is reflected by the 5-Star rating of the health center — the very best — from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Only the top 10% of skilled nursing facilities in Arizona have earned a 5-Star rating. It’s a level of care we’re committed to delivering every day.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the wonderful Halloween costume party over the weekend - it was so much fun!
“Everyone has been wonderful. Sagewood has such an outstanding staff and it has been a joy to live here. For instance, the other night we had a special dinner for us. It was shrimp or lobster tail with chocolate cake. Also, during the day, the staff brought around little gifts. It can be an orange to an apple, maybe a puzzle but my favorite was they left a fresh flower one day and it stayed all week. Even during this time, we can go outside and walk around. We are still able to get exercise in several ways. We have a resident DJ who plays records for us. I think Sagewood is the place everyone should live, especially at our age level. Meeting other people is so important and having different things to do. And, you don’t have to be right with the people. I can go to my apartment and stay there, or I can FaceTime friends or family. So that is what I have to say about Sagewood. I am looking forward to you coming.” From: Resident Ann P.
