How We Are Different Than A Nursing Home

Like a nursing home, but much more.

general care for those that are in need of assistance while carrying out life

Have you ever wondered what you’ll do if a parent or significant needs more care than you can provide?  Our facility provides general care for those that are aging or in need of assistance while carrying out life.  It is not a nursing home, where there is extensive medical care given to the patients.  But, it is where the patients can pretty much get around on their own but need a little assistance with getting dressed, showered, or even help with the bathroom facilities.  It is a place where people go, typically, in their final years of life. 

If you have a loved one that is living at home and you worry about their safety, then it might be time to find a solution that is right for them.  Are you looking for someone to help cook meals and take care of your loved one?  Do they get around just fine but can’t make it to the grocery store or take care of themselves in a proper fashion? Getting the things that they need to cook or forgetting to shut off the stove are things that are vital to having a proper life.  We offer cooked meals and fresh snacks at all times.

What type of care is available?

What is the difference between assisted living and a nursing home?

We offer simple everyday assistance with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and personal care, as well as simple medication management, such as daily medication.  We offer life enrichment activities that allow our residents to interact with one another and get to know each other better.  It is important to us that our residents form friendships with our staff as well as each other.  As we age, we lose touch with many friends and family over the years.  This can lead to depression and anxiety as well as overeating.  We find that many people enjoy being in the community rather than even on their own.  For those that have memory problems like dementia and Alzheimer’s we do offer memory care.

While we are not a nursing home, as we don’t provide around the clock medical monitoring.  However, we do provide a sense of security and have a registered nurse on staff. We work with our residents to help them get to bed at night and wake up in the morning. It is our job to ensure they have good meals and activities to enjoy each and every day.  We work with our staff members to help them understand the importance of positivity within our facility. If the resident is here for rehab, we encourage them to strive to do their very best. It is important to reach the goals that are set out by physical therapists and doctors. It is equally important for us to see them reach and exceed their goals. We encourage acknowledgment by our staff members as well.

Senior Care options

We provide a level of care that we would hope our own aging parents to receive. It is encouragement and positivity that allow enjoyment in this later stage in life. We understand that depression is common in the aging communities.  This is why we strive to help improve their lives on every level.  Our facility is their home we strive to make everyone feel welcome from the start.  We take the time to get to know each of our residents, their likes, and dislikes.  Should a resident like to watch the birds, we encourage them to go sit outside in our patio area.  If you are looking for a peaceful and yet, fun place to live and carry out your final years, give us a call.

Senior living can mean something different to everyone. Perhaps you can get dressed and have no problems using the bathroom but aren’t great at cooking.  Cooking at home means that you will need to use the stove and sometimes it’s hard to remember if you shut it off or not.  We have residents on all levels of functioning and even see the other residents encouraging them to improve.  Our goal is for everyone to love living here and enjoy their time at the facility. That’s why at Arizona Assisted Living we cater to our the individual needs of our residents. 

Things we offer.

Each day we offer three meals that are home cooked right here at home.  We also offer snacks and hydration that is available 24/7.  Many of our residents have memory loss or have a hard time getting around.  That’s okay!  We are here to help get you where you need to go on time.  Should you not be feeling up to coming to the dining room that day, we can bring your meal to you. Give us at call and let’s discuss what’s available to you!
