Mimosa Springs Assisted Living

Mimosa Springs Assisted Living sits off McDowell Road and the 101 in Scottsdale, with 42 beds dedicated to Alzheimer's and dementia care, and you'll find the place has a real home-like feeling that puts people at ease. People here can expect directed care, which is the highest level in assisted living homes, and the staff includes certified caregivers and medication technicians, while full-time activities staff fill days with things like arts and crafts, bird therapy, gardening, music, table games, and movie time, plus group and individual subacute activities seven days a week. The community keeps its atmosphere relaxed and social, with spaces like the Mimosa Springs Courtyard, Plaza Diner, an activity room, a TV room, and little comforts like a beauty shop, wireless internet, premium cable TV, a library, computer access, and in-room dining, so there's always a place to feel comfortable or chat with others. Chefs and meal planners prepare nutritious meals every day, always keeping special diets and personal needs in mind, and the staff assists with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, and medication management. There's a strong focus on memory care, with programs for dementia and Alzheimer's residents to keep them engaged and support their dignity and independence, and the facility includes 24-hour skilled nursing care, physician visits, health monitoring, physical and occupational therapy, and medication management, all in an environment designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering. Individualized care plans get made with help from a nurse practitioner, and the team has special training in Alzheimer's and dementia care, making sure activities and services are tailored to each person's needs and abilities, so everyone gets the right attention. There's a hairstylist on-site and religious services and programs if people want them, and the whole community is built for easy access, with Wi-Fi, high-speed internet, safe walking areas, parking, and transportation options for residents and visitors. Mimosa Springs is proud to be the original Alzheimer's community in Scottsdale and holds a deficiency-free status with the Arizona Department of Health Services, which means recent inspections found no major issues. The facility finished phase one renovations with fresh flooring, new furniture, lighting, paint, fixtures, and window coverings in the rooms and bathrooms, with phase two planned for the activities room, TV room, hallways, and dining areas starting mid-summer 2024. Tours are available both on-site and virtually for anyone considering moving in, and the listing is verified for current licensing with biannual reviews by A Place for Mom.
