Since it opened in 1965, thousands of seniors have made their homes at Sun Valley Lodge. The Lodge has maintained an excellent reputation throughout the years by a strong dedication to excellence in service and programs, delivered by a committed staff, and overseen by a Voluntary Board of Directors in the format of a not-for-profit organization.
Sun Valley Lodge now has second-generation residents. Their parents retired here years ago and now the children have chosen to retire here, as well.

A note from our Executive Director…



Dear Friend,

Welcome to Sun Valley Lodge!
As the very first retirement community ever built in Sun City, we have been honored to provide quality care for our residents for the last forty years. Our rich history, combined with compassionate care and a warm, friendly environment, help to make Sun Valley Lodge the hallmark of excellence in Sun City. Here are just a few of the many qualities that set us apart from the rest:

  • Feeling of "neighborhood"

  • Highly respected reputation

  • Longevity of staff (many of our staff have been here for over 20 years!)

  • Award winning dining service

  • Open door policy

  • Beautiful chapel providing non-denominational services

  • Independent living, assisted living services and a health care center all on one campus

  • Second generation residents…mom and dad retired here years ago, and now the children have retired here, as well!

  • Not-for-profit community which allows us to obtain donations from both the public and private sectors

  • Volunteer base that lends an extra hand wherever needed
  • Please feel free to come by and say hello! I'm always willing to talk about what makes Sun Valley Lodge such a great choice in retirement living!

    Michael L. Fahey
    Executive Director
