Family Living Homes has been family owned and managed since 1996, earning a reputation for offering compassionate, personalized care to members of the Mesa community and their loved ones. Rooted in an atmosphere that feels like home, the residences strive to accommodate both the evolving needs and individual preferences of their residents. The staff is described as the heart of the community, dedicated to treating every resident with the same level of respect and kindness they would offer to their own family members. This commitment is reflected in every aspect of daily life, from attention to care needs to a focus on fostering a sense of dignity and quality of life for each person who lives there.
The homes are thoughtfully designed and licensed for up to 10 residents each, allowing for an intimate setting where everyone is known and valued. There are two locations, Extended Family Home – East and Extended Family Home – West, both situated between Gilbert and Lindsay, just north of McKellips in Mesa. The facilities accommodate residents with private and semi-private rooms; the East home offers both options, while the West home features only private rooms. This flexibility ensures that each individual's needs and preferences regarding privacy and companionship can be honored.
A central emphasis at Family Living Homes is the encouragement of independence and honoring each resident's routines and lifestyle choices. Unlike some more rigid schedules, there is no set time for waking up or going to bed unless it is part of a care plan, and breakfast is a leisurely affair — served fresh and available from as early as 6 am until as late as 10 am. Meals are prepared to order and can be adjusted to fit a variety of dietary needs and personal requests, thanks to cooks on staff who are skilled in creating nutritious, home-style dishes.
The homes are equipped with ADA bathrooms, hallways, and doorways, ensuring accessibility and safety for all residents. Each resident also has an individual call system selected to best fit their unique requirements, offering peace of mind and the assurance of timely assistance. Health needs are met with the availability of administration of insulin, medications, and IV treatments, many of which are covered by health insurance.
Family Living Homes specializes in caring for residents with Dementia and Alzheimer’s; both facilities were designed to meet the unique needs of these individuals. The care philosophy centers on supporting residents in maintaining or regaining activities of daily living that may be affected by memory-related conditions. Staff members provide patients with the patience, encouragement, and guidance necessary to sustain their sense of autonomy and identity, fostering a safe and supportive environment.
Family Living Homes prides itself on offering an all-inclusive pricing structure, eliminating surprises and allowing families and residents to focus on what matters most: comfort, security, and quality of life. In times of urgent need, Family Living Homes makes every effort to accommodate emergency placements, ensuring that individuals can receive the care they need without unnecessary delay.
