Bella Vita Residential Assisted Living LLC

Bella Vita Residential Assisted Living is a residential-style assisted living home located at 4511 East Cholla Street in northeast Phoenix, in a quiet neighborhood near the Paradise Valley Village and Shea Boulevard corridors. Licensed for up to 6 residents, the home offers a smaller, more intimate care setting than large centers — a format many families prefer for its higher staff-to-resident attention and home-like atmosphere. Its location provides convenient access to State Route 51 and the HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea medical campus. Families should confirm current availability, care levels, and pricing directly with the home. Bella Vita operates under Arizona Department of Health Services license AL11605H.

This community is a smaller kind of assisted living. In Arizona, an assisted living home is a regular house in a neighborhood that is licensed to care for ten or fewer residents at a time, rather than a large apartment-style building. Daily life in these homes usually feels close-knit: residents share meals and living spaces in a family-style setting, with far fewer neighbors than a large community.

Arizona licenses three levels of care in these homes. Supervisory care means general watchfulness and help in an emergency. Personal care means hands-on help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing and eating. Directed care is the most supportive level. It is for residents who need continuous care and watchfulness, including people with dementia or other conditions that affect memory, judgment or safety. The level a home is licensed to provide is listed in Arizona’s public licensing record.

The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) licenses these homes, sets the maximum number of residents, and inspects them. The license number, license status, care levels and inspection history for every licensed home are public and free to review on AZ Care Check (opens in a new window), Arizona’s official licensing website.

Because each home is different, the best way to know whether one fits your family is to call and tour it. Ask how many caregivers are on duty during the day and at night, what a typical day looks like, and what happens if a resident’s care needs increase.
