The Gardens at Ocotillo Senior Living

A new Spectrum community is taking shape in Scottsdale, AZ! 💫

The Pavilion at Camelback, our newest Assisted Living and Memory Care community, just reached a major construction milestone with the completion of the final secant pile wall. A huge thank-you to our partners at Catamount Constructors, Buesing Corp, and Vessel Architecture for helping us lay the groundwork (literally!) for what’s to come.

With 104 residences and nearly 100,000 square feet of purposeful spaces, this community will blend vibrant design, connection, and comfort for the next generation of older adults.
