Community Overview

About The Groves Assisted and Independent Senior Living

The Groves Assisted and Independent Senior Living is a boutique, ground-level community situated on 14 beautifully landscaped acres at 5848 East University Drive in northeast Mesa, AZ 85205 — within the Red Mountain Ranch and Superstition Springs corridor. Licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services under AL11094C as an Assisted Living Center-Directed with a capacity of 24 residents, the community provides both assisted living and independent living in spacious cottage-style homes with private patios. Residents benefit from a heated pool, fitness center, vibrant clubhouse, on-site therapy services, and a full calendar of social events, fitness classes, and community outings.

The Groves operates as a private-pay community, accepting Long Term Care Insurance Plans but not Medicaid. Pricing is structured on a transparent, service-selected model — residents pay only for the care they choose. The community partners with Alta Mesa Health and Rehabilitation, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility co-located at the same address, providing residents a seamless continuum of care if higher-level clinical support becomes necessary.

Conveniently located near Superstition Springs Mall, Sloan Park, and Hohokam Stadium, The Groves in Mesa AZ offers easy access to shopping, dining, and local attractions along the University Drive and Power Road corridor in east Mesa. Banner Baywood Medical Center and Banner Heart Hospital are each approximately 1.6–1.7 miles away, providing close access to acute hospital care.
