Legacy House of Mesa sits in Maricopa County and welcomes adults aged 55 and over, offering both assisted living and memory care in a home-like setting where there's a good amount of kindness among the staff who treat residents like family, and the apartments come in options like studios, single rooms, and even two-bedroom choices so folks can pick what fits best, with both shared and private units available and all of them set up with things like cable TV, Wi-Fi, phone hookups, and kitchen appliances, plus there's space for pets if residents can care for them and a friendly atmosphere for visitors, including room for overnight stays. The place provides 132 assisted living units and 38 memory support units, with Alzheimer's and memory care delivered in a secure part of the community called The Cottage, where trained caregivers help with daily needs such as eating, bathing, dressing, walking, grooming, and incontinence, always keeping safety in mind. Residents receive help from staff any time of day or night since there are 24-hour caregivers along with a full-time licensed practical nurse ready for added support, and the care includes medication monitoring and diabetes management. There's no changing of monthly fees depending on how much care a resident needs, which some families appreciate, plus Medicaid, private pay, long-term care insurance, and VA benefits are accepted. The community is licensed by the state, and staff are specially trained in caring for older folks, those with Alzheimer's, chronic health issues, and people who need more help moving around.
Meals here are restaurant-style with three cooked meals every day alongside snacks, and the chef considers special diets, including options for diabetes, plus residents can pick flexible meal plans, eat together in a large dining room, or sometimes take meals in their rooms, even sharing with guests now and then. The community handles weekly housekeeping, laundry, linen services, building maintenance, and landscaping, so residents have less to worry about, and there's a reliable schedule for transporting folks to medical appointments, grocery stores, or the bank and plenty of accessible transportation for people with wheelchairs, along with mobility assistance for those who need help getting around.
Activities cover a lot, from simple games and arts and crafts to fitness classes like chair exercises, balance workouts, and yoga, not to mention music and outings for those who want to get out, and there are special programs designed for memory support as well as physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual growth, with intergenerational events sometimes bringing local youth and seniors together. Residents can enjoy walking paths, outdoor patios, and communal areas; visitation is flexible for families, and there's an emergency alert system in case anyone needs help fast. The building comes in both multi-floor and single-floor setups, so people who prefer not to use stairs can avoid them, and the views can be quite pleasant. The facility supports people who need short-term respite care as well as those looking for a longer stay, aiming to keep everyone's dignity and independence in mind and helping families feel supported with a simple process for touring or learning about life there.
