A Sanctuary of Support, Dignity, and Grace
DoveSong Retreat was created from a deeply personal place—one that many families know all too well. When it came time to find care for our own mother and mother-in-law, we were overwhelmed by choices that felt too clinical, too impersonal, or simply not good enough for someone we loved. We longed for a place that felt like home: peaceful, comforting, and filled with genuine care.
When we couldn’t find it, we built it.
What began as a single home has grown into a small, thoughtfully run network of assisted living residences across Arizona. But our mission remains the same—to offer a better way to care for seniors: one rooted in compassion, respect, and community.
At DoveSong Retreat, Care is Deeply Personal
We believe every resident deserves to feel known, safe, and truly at home. That’s why we maintain small resident-to-caregiver ratios, employ a loving and highly trained staff, and take the time to understand each individual’s needs, preferences, and story.
Our homes are designed with intention—from the serene décor and private patios to the covered porches and Arizona-inspired landscaping. Daily life is filled with warmth and rhythm: shared meals, enriching activities, gentle routines, and compassionate support. It’s not just about assistance—it’s about dignity, connection, and joy.
