Common Questions About Mountain Senior Living
What senior living options does The Bluffs of Flagstaff offer?
Because any senior’s needs depend on the amount of physical challenges and/or memory loss they may face, we provide independent living, assisted living, and memory care. This continuum allows residents to age in place and receive the level of support they need without the financial difficulty of buy-in fees.
How can I decide which type of service is best?
Care levels are determined through an assessment of physical and cognitive needs. Our goal is to provide the right amount of help without unnecessarily taking away independence.
We give active independent living residents a life without home maintenance, endless chores, and to-do lists full of other everyday tasks. Assisted living facilitates tasks like medication reminders and activities of daily living, while our memory care team encourages structured routines and a safe place for residents with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
Are pets allowed in Flagstaff senior apartments?
Yes! Our community allows independent living and assisted living residents to enjoy the company of small dogs and cats in their apartments. Many apartments open onto landscaped courtyards where residents spend time with their furry companions and socialize with their peers.

“The Bluffs has been a positively wonderful experience for my sister, who moved into her apartment a few months ago. The staff at [The] Bluffs is welcoming, caring, and they genuinely have my sister’s best interest as their top concern. My personal interaction with the staff has been fantastic, and I can’t thank them enough for what they do and the positive difference they have made in my sister’s life. I just want to close by adding in the word, Family. The Bluffs has treated my sister like she is family, and my sister feels like the staff and the other residents are family. I don’t think it gets any better than that. A great family to be a part of.”
Family Member’s Review on Google

“I gave a lot of thought to where I wanted to spend the years that I have left. I chose The Bluffs of Flagstaff and moved in on the 15th of May, 2022. The brick-and-mortar is nice, and the location is great, but what sold me were the kind and friendly people that make life not just livable but a joy to behold. Yes, it’s really fun (even if you are 83, you can still have fun)! Join us for dinner and listen for the laughter.”
