The move in process at La Sonora was a smooth process that made me feel at ease going through the process of finding the perfect space for my family member. Kelly and the entire activity department really go out of their way to ensure the residents have engaging and fun filled activities and events. They even take the time to sit and have conversations with residents even when they are busy. The smiles, laughter and general friendliness of all of the staff make the atmosphere here feel like home! I am beyond happy that we chose this community.
My dad is very happy at La Sonora! He loves the food, has made good friends, and is really enjoying all the community has to offer. In the short time he’s been there, he has become engaged in lots of activities and has even joined a committee. The staff provides great care and is cheerfully responsive to his disability needs. Management has been easy to work with and attentive to the family as well as Dad. This is all in stark contrast to the year he spent in a different facility. I’m so glad he made the change to La Sonora.

You might still be wondering…
What does the monthly rate at La Sonora include?
At La Sonora, you aren’t just paying for a place to live—you’re investing in a lifestyle that reflects the quality you’re used to. Monthly rates include spacious, mountain-view apartments, chef-prepared meals, housekeeping, engaging activities, and flexible support tailored to each person’s needs.
What transportation options are available?
We provide scheduled transportation for medical appointments twice a week, plus weekly outings to places like Costco, Fry's, and local restaurants. For personal errands or appointments, our team can help coordinate trusted third-party transportation. Many community members—especially in Independent Living—choose to keep their own cars, and parking is available.
What’s the dining experience like?
Dining at La Sonora is restaurant-style—full service, made-to-order, and thoughtfully prepared by an in-house chef. Meals are served throughout the day with à la carte selections, seasonal specials, and attention to personal preferences. Monthly cooking demonstrations and holiday feasts add extra excitement, and the dining team takes pride in learning each person’s favorite dishes. Whether it’s a casual breakfast or a festive dinner, meals here are something people genuinely look forward to.
What do people actually do all day?
This is a lively, social community where something is always happening. Bingo is a staple, but it’s just the beginning. From art classes and karaoke to dinner outings and crafting groups, people stay connected and engaged.
Clubs like the Garden Club, Library Club, and Welcome Committee give everyone a chance to participate. The welcome committee, in particular, plays a big role—bringing handmade baskets to new neighbors, walking them through how things work (from laundry to key fobs), and making sure no one feels like a stranger for long.
Is this the right fit for someone who’s still very independent?
Absolutely. Many people move to La Sonora while they’re still active, independent, and thriving—because they want to live well and plan ahead. Independent Living offers full-size apartments with real kitchens, in-unit laundry, and two meals a day. It’s perfect for those ready to let go of home maintenance while gaining a vibrant social life, excellent food, and peace of mind for the future.
How does support work as care needs change?
We offer a full spectrum of licensed support—from fully independent living to assisted living and secure memory care. As needs shift, there’s no need to leave the community you love. Our care team is available 24/7 in assisted living and memory care, and we’re licensed to support higher levels of care, including Hoyer lifts and two-person assists. Support is always delivered with respect, flexibility, and genuine warmth.
What makes memory care at La Sonora different?
La Sonora is part of Stellar’s Apollo Program—a thoughtful, relationship-based approach that centers on the person, not just the condition.
Daily life here is built around familiarity, dignity, and joy, with personalized activities that reflect each person’s interests and strengths. The secure memory care neighborhood is located on the garden level, with safe indoor and outdoor spaces that let community members move freely and comfortably throughout the day. It’s bright, open, and intentionally connected to the larger community—never tucked away. From birdhouse building and gardening to live music and conversation, our long-standing team creates opportunities for connection and calm in every moment.
For families, that means peace of mind. For their loved ones, it means a life that still feels full.
Do you offer any perks for veterans?
Yes—La Sonora is proud to support those who’ve served. We offer a generous veterans discount, and many of our community members are veterans. If you’re a veteran or a surviving spouse, we’ll walk you through your options and help you make the most of available benefits.
Can family members stay overnight?
Yes! We have two beautifully furnished guest suites available for visiting family members.
These studio-style apartments can be reserved through our concierge at an affordable nightly rate—and they tend to book up quickly around holidays. It's just one more way we help families stay close and connected.
Why do people choose La Sonora over other options in the area?
La Sonora stands out immediately. As the newest senior living community in the Dove Mountain and Oro Valley area, it offers an elevated experience—modern design, spacious apartments, and sweeping mountain views, all in a peaceful, upscale setting. The atmosphere feels more like a high-end getaway than a typical retirement community.
Families often comment on the warmth and energy they feel here, and much of that comes from our team. Many staff members have been here since opening, creating lasting relationships and a deep sense of trust. For those seeking a refined, connected, and joyful place to live, La Sonora is the clear choice.
The care is full circle here.
The Stellar Living Foundation was created to make generosity a shared experience. Community members, team members, community partners, leadership, and owners all contribute to the circle of care. Whether it’s supporting a staff member through a crisis, helping a community member's grandchild go to college, or giving back to local organizations, the Foundation is how we lift each other up.
