Peridot The Peridot is located one mile from historic Prescott, just far enough from the hustle and the bustle of downtown, yet still close to the heart of this charming city of 40,000. We’re just off E. Gurley Street – one of Prescott’s main thoroughfares – giving us easy access to all that the area has to offer, from its numerous museums to a lovely Victorian historical district to upscale shopping centers and restaurants. In addition, there are several hospitals in the area – The Peridot is between Yavapai Regional Medical Center’s two campuses, the VA Medical Center is just four miles away, and Mountain Valley Regional Rehabilitation Hospital is 10 miles from our retirement community. Prescott is a small mountain community at the same altitude as Denver. The air is wonderful, the High Desert light is spectacular and the weather, mild with just a small amount of snow in the wintertime. Our community is tucked into the foothills, offering a mile-high view of the surrounding mountains and Prescott Valley. Downtown Prescott, with its old-time square reminiscent of the Wild West and ringed with charming boutiques and restaurants, is just a short drive from The Peridot. Residents never give up an opportunity to attend a community event, art show, dance performance or good old-fashioned Western Shootout in “The Square,” as it’s called here in Prescott. They also love visiting our local museums, including the Phippen Museum of Art, a nationally known museum featuring art from the American West. We also take resident to concerts at the Yavapai Community College, as well as to the Prescott Gateway Mall – an upscale shopping center, and residents always enjoy a trip to one of two Wal-Marts in the area. With our community located in the High Desert, we occasionally take residents on scenic drives through rolling hills and forests of Ponderosa Pine and on train rides through the Verde Canyon during fall foliage season. We have a unique program here: If a resident can think of it, we go and do it, whether that’s attending a hockey game, taking a trip to the Prescott Zoo, going dancing, touring Prescott’s historical district of Victorian homes, visiting our local casino, or dining out at any one of several popular destinations nearby. Let’s just say, with our gem of a location, there’s never a lack of things to do! And our residents are always game for an adventure!
