Group Homes – Assisted Living Care Homes
An Intimate, Personalized Senior Care Option
When most people think of long-term senior care, they think of the traditional nursing home, with round-the-clock supervision, in-house medical care, and a high degree of support. However, this option is not right for everyone! In the Phoenix metropolitan area alone, there a wealth of senior living facilities that offer varying degrees of clinical care, social support, amenities, and independence. Many seniors in Maricopa County find that they can no longer live at home alone, but still desire a high degree of autonomy and to live in a home-like environment. In this situation, an assisted living care home is the ideal solution!
What is an Assisted Living Care Home?
Assisted living care homes (also called senior group homes) share many similarities with traditional retirement communities, but with a much greater emphasis the comfort, familiarity, and social enrichment that comes from shared housing. Most assisted living care homes in the Phoenix metropolitan area have the following characteristics:
A Residential Home Setting:
As with other types of group homes, an assisted living care home is typically located in a private home in one of Maricopa County’s residential neighborhoods. The transition from living at home to moving into an assisted living facility can be overwhelming for many Phoenix area seniors; with an assisted living care home, residents often feel immediately at ease! Residents have comfortable private or semi-private rooms.
A Family Atmosphere:
Assisted living care homes in the greater Phoenix area traditionally serve no more than 10-12 seniors and have a higher ratio of staff-to-residents than other senior placement options. The result is a more intimate, family-like setting where residents and staff build strong relationships.
Convenient In-Home Services:
Assisted living care homes in and around Phoenix offer home-cooked meals, housekeeping and laundry services, medication management, social programming, and transportation services. As opposed to traditional nursing homes, assisted living care homes usually do not have full-time medical staff on-site.
