At Clarendale of Chandler, we believe senior living should be about comfort, connection, and choice. Located in the vibrant city of Chandler, Arizona, our community offers both independent living (IL) and assisted living (AL), allowing residents to enjoy the lifestyle that fits their needs today—with the peace of mind that additional support is available for tomorrow.

What is Independent Living?

Independent living is all about simplicity and freedom. Our residents enjoy everything from beautiful apartment spaces to chef-prepared dining to enriching social activities, fitness classes, and events; plus, convenient services like housekeeping and scheduled transportation. This option is ideal for older adults who want to trade in the responsibilities of homeownership for a low-maintenance lifestyle while remaining socially engaged.

What is Assisted Living?

For those who need extra support, assisted living blends independence with personalized care. Features include assistance with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication reminders; apartments with safety features, and ongoing wellness monitoring. Assisted living at our community helps residents maintain independence while providing families peace of mind.

Life here is about living fully—whether you’re seeking the ease of independent living or the personalized support of assisted living. To learn more about what makes care unique at our community, read the full article on the differences between IL and AL.
