A Paradise for Parents
|
We have 4 assisted living homes in the Surprise (3) and Goodyear (1) area. Our homes are actual residential homes. A little different from a large facility. Each one is licensed for up to 10 residents. You can see more information at our website. Normally we have 8-10 residents in the home, so there is a lot of activity in the homes. We try to cultivate more of a family atmosphere than the resort or apartment-like feel of the bigger facilities. Of course if the resort or apartment lifestyle is what you are looking for, we probably are not the right place for you.
We also really work hard to improve the health and general well-being of our residents, naturally. |

On the health side, we have a Naturopathic doctor who is starting to work with us to improve our meals and focus on easing the pain of all sorts of chronic conditions. We also have a personal trainer who works with our residents to strengthen their bodies and improve their health. We've had several tales of succes - including making a few people well enough to let them go live on their own in their own home. Here is a YouTube testimonial from one of our residents:
Of course we follow all health and welfare regulations required at all levels of government. We are also very careful with tracking and dispensing medications. We just believe we can do more with nutrition and exercise.
We also believe in improving the emotions of our residents. So we try to have activities for them that maximize their enjoyment. Among the activities we do:
-Field trips to events like the State Fair and the Luke Air Force Base airshow
-Meals out at local restaurants with residents from our other homes
-Movie nights either in the homes or out at a cinema
-Karaoke
-Meetings with kids from local high school to tell their stories
-Fostering dogs at our homes until they can find another home
-Gardening and growing some of our own spices (at one home - more coming soon)
-Fun parties at all holidays and birthdays - we even had a Mariachi band at our Christmas parties
-Musicians that come in and give performances with a variety of instruments
-Non-denominational Bible study sessions
-Barbecues with extended families
-The YouTube videos Passport to Wellness to help our residents exercise while watching videos of beautiful locations around the world
You can see some of our activities the video on the home page of our website. Participation in the activities is dependent on a resident's condition. Hopefully as they stay with us, the residents improve to a level where they can do more and more activities.

History
I purchased the homes about 3 years ago from someone who had run them with his family for about 10 years prior to me. We made one home ALTCS qualified in 2017 and another one in 2019. Both ALTCS homes are in Surprise.
One great thing about our homes is our caregiving staff. Many of them have been caregivers for a decade plus! We have very little turnover because we all feel like we are part of a big family.
