Desert Springs Healthcare operates the Symphony of Mesa skilled nursing facility, and even though it's headquartered in Mesa, Arizona, they've got centers in Arizona, Florida, and Ohio as part of the larger Allegiant Healthcare network that runs over 30 skilled nursing facilities. The place is built to look after seniors needing anything from independent living to skilled nursing, memory care, and even short- or long-term rehabilitation and specialty care. People there can get post-op care, IV therapy, wound care, and a bundle of physical, occupational, or speech therapy sessions, plus there's a TBI and dementia unit, pulmonary and ventilator care, cardiac rehab, and help with stroke or orthopedic recovery. Care is coordinated across local physicians, clinics, pharmacies, and hospitals through the Arizona Care Network, which helps handle things like working with accountable care groups and telehealth appointments, and they've got 24/7 medical staff and security on site. The facility tries to feel homelike, with recently renovated areas, comfortable living spaces, outdoor sitting spots, furnished apartments with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, air conditioning, cable TV, and Wi-Fi, and all rooms have emergency alert systems and a 24-hour call and supervision setup.
Desert Springs offers lots of provider options for care-specialists, clinics, and regular doctors-and accepts Medicare and Medicaid. For help with daily routines, the assisted living area is set up for those who might need reminders or physical help with things like bathing, dressing, meds, or transfers, and for folks who need more support, skilled nursing covers complex care management. There's a small community size, about 10 beds per unit at Desert Springs Communities, which can make things feel pretty personal and easier for staff to know the residents, and it's got services for people wanting to remain independent but might want some assistance, too. Meals are prepared by a professional chef every day and cover special diets like diabetes or allergies; you can get your meals restaurant-style and at nearly any time. Housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, move-in help, and transportation for trips or appointments are all part of what's available, so no need to worry if someone has trouble getting around or handling chores.
Daily life includes plenty of scheduled events, community programs, and activities to keep people social and engaged, including movie nights, music, arts and crafts, garden walks, fitness classes, games, and more, all aimed at mental and social well-being. There's outdoor common areas, walking paths, a fitness room, spa and wellness areas, activity rooms, a library, and resident-run activities to keep things lively, along with amenities like parking. Memory care services are tailored for people with memory loss, with specialized plans and therapies focused on keeping residents comfortable and safe, and everything is kept secure with 24/7 supervision. Staff get support and resources, like quality tip sheets and a secure provider portal, so care gets coordinated well. The facility provides COVID-19 resources and a variety of resources for healthcare providers. They offer respite care for temporary stays and have independent apartments for seniors who are still active and want privacy but like having support nearby. Families and residents can check out the place on a virtual tour. Since the facility is verified by Seniorly, it's recognized as a reliable community, dedicated to helping residents be comfortable, safe, and as independent as possible.
