Fairmount Assisted Living and Memory Care sits on East Fairmount Street in Tucson, Arizona and offers both assisted living and memory care services for people who need help with daily activities or have memory problems, like Alzheimer's or dementia, and you'll find this place isn't too big or too small, more like a medium-sized community where people can feel at home. Staff members are available all day and night, so there's always someone ready to help, whether it's weekdays from five in the morning to nine at night or weekends until five-thirty in the evening, and they've got a strong resident-to-caregiver ratio of five to one, which means everyone gets attention. Residents can get help with things like bathing, dressing, medication management, and those who need memory care have a secure building made just for them, with its own memory support features and technology, like bracelets that help keep everyone safe if they start to wander. Fairmount has specially trained caregivers who know how to manage different behaviors and provide care for people with physical or memory challenges, including those who may be restless or aggressive, and the building is equipped for both one-person and two-person transfers if someone needs help moving.
You'll see that Fairmount's got both semi-private and studio rooms, and whether you bring your own pet or just want to visit with the chickens and rabbits in the community's animal coop, there's plenty to keep folks company, and prices for rooms generally average around $2,500 for semi-private or $3,500 for a studio. The place is locally owned by a veteran, and the staff seems genuinely dedicated, receiving high ratings up to 4.5 stars from families and residents, based on reviews verified by outside sources. They do more than cover the basics; besides meal planning and transportation, there's a lively calendar packed with music, movie nights, religious services, art classes, therapy animals, exercise groups like chair yoga, and all sorts of events to help everyone stay engaged, and they encourage new friendships and a sense of belonging. Courtyards and patios, gardens, secure paths, water fountains, and covered sitting areas give people a place to enjoy fresh air or socialize a bit, and the grounds are designed with calming features to help everyone feel comfortable. There's a chaplain on site for those who want spiritual support, and a strong focus on kind, respectful care, which means each person gets a care plan that suits them best, whether they need help with diabetes, incontinence, or are on hospice or palliative care.
People can choose to bring dogs or cats, and the building's fully secured for safety, including memory care residents who might try to leave, so families can have some peace of mind. Residents have access to indoor common areas and activities that keep the mind and body active, and there are measures in place to handle all kinds of care needs as they change with time, so most people don't have to move if they start needing more help down the road. Fairmount Assisted Living and Memory Care emphasizes simple, direct care and creates a homey place where people with different needs, including memory loss, can find good support, a bit of company, and some comfort in their daily routines.
