About Huger Mercy Living Center
ADHS lists it as offering directed care, personal care and supervisory care services, and its license carries the subtype Assisted Living Center-Directed. The property is organized into four cottages, each housing up to 12 residents in a mix of eight private and two semi-private rooms with shared kitchen and dining areas, set on five acres of landscaped, walkable grounds behind a secured, gated perimeter. The company describes its approach to dementia care as a social model of dementia-specific care, backed by ongoing staff training. The community's website also names Virginia Abel as activities program coordinator and says staff have an average tenure of over 10 years. Staff are on site around the clock, and a nurse practitioner is described as available in addition to on-staff nurses.

Our referral disclosure
Before we refer you to any assisted living home, we send you this notice to read and sign. Here it is now, so you can read it at your own pace.
Arizona law requires that we provide you with the following disclosure notice.
We are in the business of referring residents to assisted living facilities and assisted living homes. We will be paid by the assisted living facility or assisted living home if you move into one of the referred assisted living facilities or assisted living homes. The fee we receive from the assisted living facility or assisted living home into which you move typically ranges from 70 to 100 percent of your first month's rent and care charges. We do have a current business relationship but we do not have a common ownership or control in, or any other financial, business, management or familial relationship with, any of the assisted living homes and assisted living facilities to which we are referring you.
By providing us with a written or electronic notice, you have the right to terminate our services to you at any time, including our use of your personal information. If you terminate our services, we will not be entitled to any fee for any move-in you make after the date of the termination notice unless either:
1. The assisted living facility or assisted living home you choose within the next twelve months is one that we specifically identify and refer to you after we evaluate your profile and requests but before we receive your notice of termination.
2. You communicate with us before you move into the assisted living facility or assisted living home.
To end our services at any time, reply to any email from us or call Integrity Senior Placement at 480.271.7759.
