About Highgate at Flagstaff

Highgate Senior Living has been providing innovation and leadership in senior living for 25 years. In spring 2021, Highgate at Flagstaff will officially open its doors, becoming the newest assisted living and memory care community in the Flagstaff area and the second Highgate community in Arizona, following the successful opening of Highgate at Prescott in 2011. 

• Located at 1831 N. Jasper Drive, less than a mile from the Flagstaff Medical Center as the crow flies 
• 60 apartments in the assisted living side of the community, called the Manor   

• 20 apartments in a specialized memory care environment, called the Cottage  
• A variety of living options, including studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and companion suites
  

In a city where 1 in 10 residents are over the age of 65 — and where it’s common to see a waiting list for the senior care communities already in town — Flagstaff was eager to welcome Highgate to the family, too.  

“The people in ‘Flag’ make you feel welcome and are interested in the betterment of individuals,” says Highgate CEO Marjorie Todd. “Just like us, Flagstaff embraces a commitment to holistic living. This really resonates with us.”
