Spring Gardens Peoria

Spring Gardens Peoria is an Avista Senior Living community in northwest Peoria, near the Lake Pleasant corridor. The community was previously known as Avanti Senior Living and is now licensed under Spring Gardens Peoria following an Arizona Department of Health Services ownership transition. It serves residents needing assisted living, memory care, and respite care, with an emphasis on individualized support, independence, and a person-centered approach.

The operator describes the community as technologically advanced and thoughtfully designed, with private suites, ADA mobility-accessible apartments, Wi‑Fi, streaming video, media-ready rooms, and personal electronic tablets intended to help residents stay connected and engaged. Community spaces are positioned around a home-like environment with comfortable gathering areas and room for family visits and celebrations. The assisted living program focuses on help with activities of daily living while preserving freedom of choice, while the memory care program adds structured support through specialized exercises, nutrition, medication management, and an engaged lifestyle for people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia.

Daily life is built around social connection and routine. Operator-listed activities include daily programming, exercise programs, organized outings, board games, balloon volleyball, movie nights, ice cream parties, and happy hour. Dining is presented as a central part of community life, with chef-prepared meals, a monthly menu, made-to-order items, and an elegant dining room where residents can eat with friends and family.

The neighborhood around Lake Pleasant Parkway offers access to Peoria’s growing northwest corridor, including retail, medical, and service destinations along the Loop 101 and Happy Valley area. For families comparing options, the main strengths are the breadth of care types, the newer-style amenity set, and the availability of short-term stays. Key tradeoffs to consider are that pricing, room dimensions, and current vacancy were not publicly verified from primary sources.
