  Sitemap for encompass-seniorliving.com

  Every URL uses https://www. and ends in .html, because the server serves
  files literally — extensionless URLs like /scottsdale/memory-care return 404.
  Each URL here matches that page's own <link rel="canonical"> exactly.

  TO ADD A NEW BLOG POST: copy a <url> block from BLOG POSTS, update <loc>
  and <lastmod>, re-upload sitemap.xml, resubmit in Search Console.
