Most people are surprised by how affordable life here really is. Once you add up everything included—two or three daily meals, housekeeping, maintenance, utilities, transportation, and endless activities—it often costs less than staying in your own home.

People always say the same thing when they walk in: “It just feels good here.”

There’s a joy and friendliness you can’t fake. Neighbors know each other, the staff feels like family, and laughter travels down the halls. It’s upbeat, welcoming, and real—more like a close neighborhood than a senior community.

Ask anyone—the food is one of our biggest bragging rights.

Meals are served restaurant-style from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., featuring an always-available menu (steak, salmon, grilled chicken, and comfort favorites) along with daily specials. Our chef meets regularly with community members for “menu chats,” and crowd favorites—like the taco bowl with homemade shells and the “best cheeseburger in town”—always make a comeback.

Independent Living includes two meals daily (breakfast plus lunch or dinner).
Assisted Living includes three meals daily, with snacks and beverages always available.

Independent Plus is a service unique to The Palms at Sun City. It’s a flexible support option available to anyone in Independent Living, handled entirely by our own team members—not outside agencies.
You can request short, practical help in 15-minute increments instead of paying for long shifts you don’t need. That might mean help after a hospital stay, keeping up with laundry, a medication reminder, grocery shopping, a ride to the airport, or even walking the dog. Couples especially appreciate it because one person can receive support while both continue living together in their apartment.
The best part? You’ll always see familiar faces—the same people who greet you in the hallway each day. It’s a simple, dependable way to stay comfortable, confident, and connected in the place you already call home.

It’s the perfect mix of lively and personal. The Palms is large enough to offer resort-style amenities, open dining hours, and a full calendar of things to do—but it never feels overwhelming.

The community is divided into 12 smaller “areas,” each with its own personality and circle of friends. Neighbors share meals, plan celebrations, and look out for one another like family. Twice a year, each area hosts its own “fancy dinner,” bringing everyone together for an evening that feels more like a reunion than an event. So even with so much happening around you, it still feels friendly, familiar, and completely at home.

There’s always something happening at The Palms—with 40–50 activities every week, it’s easy to fill your days with things you love. Mornings might start with yoga, tai chi, or a good stretch in the gym. Afternoons often bring live music, happy hour, or a creative project in the craft room.

Some of our most popular events are truly one-of-a-kind. The Flight Series transforms the auditorium into an airplane bound for a surprise destination—complete with passports, snacks, and themed dining once you “land.” Community members also love our Mystery Dinners, Sip & Create art nights, and pop-ups like the Not-So-Newlywed Game, which always has the room in hysterics!

We keep beloved classics on the calendar, too—bingo, cards, and social hours that never go out of style.

Off-site, you’ll find regular outings to Lake Pleasant, Arizona Broadway Theatre, P83 restaurants, and even Sedona when the weather cools. So whether you’re in the mood for something lively or laid-back, there’s always a way to join in—and always good company waiting when you do.

Yes—and it’s one of the things people love most about The Palms. Thanks to Independent Plus, couples can stay in their apartment together even if one person needs a little extra support. When more care is needed, our Assisted Living neighborhood provides a smooth, familiar transition—still surrounded by the same friendly faces.

It’s small, personal, and full of heart—just 25 apartments where everyone truly knows one another. The caregivers have been here for years, so they notice the little things and check in when something seems off. With a dedicated activities assistant, personalized programs, and 24-hour care from people who genuinely love what they do, it feels less like a care setting and more like family.

That’s exactly what The Palms is built for. With Independent, Independent Plus, and Assisted Living all in one place, you can stay in the same community surrounded by the same caring team—even if your needs evolve over time.

Yes, we’re pet-friendly! Well-behaved pets are welcome in Independent and Assisted Living apartments.
