Lynda's Courtyard is a small assisted living home at 2732 W Monte Vista Pl, Tucson, AZ, right near parks, a golf course and a shopping center, and you'll find it's not very big since it only holds up to ten residents, so folks here tend to get more one-on-one care, especially with resident-to-caregiver numbers like five to one during the day and ten to one at night. People can get help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, and there's medication management, incontinence care, and diabetic care, which makes it a good option for seniors who need different kinds of help. The staff are certified caregivers who keep an eye on things all day and night, and there's memory care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. For those needing a break or a short stay, there's respite care, and some seniors enjoy the place's independent living arrangements too. Meals are cooked in-house each day, made with dietary needs in mind-there are gluten-free, vegetarian, no sugar, and low-sodium choices, and guests can join for a meal now and then. Meals get planned by chefs and meal planners who focus on nutrition, and there are dining areas set up for everyone, with guest meals available if family or friends stop by during the visiting hours, which run twelve hours each day.
You'll notice the place tries to make a homey feel with its small size and extras like air conditioning, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and a sitting room with satellite television, plus there's a patio and a fenced yard outdoors for fresh air and a bit of sun. Residents can take part in all sorts of activities without leaving the home-there are art classes, trivia, community service programs, a gardening club, music, pet therapy, yoga and chair yoga, stretching, Wii bowling, and even light therapy, plus devotional activities for those who want them. There's a salon for haircuts, and staff take care of laundry and housekeeping so people don't have to worry about chores. The showers are wheelchair-accessible, and the building uses security cameras in common areas to keep folks safe. Pets can sometimes be close by residents, which makes the environment feel more like family. Lynda's Courtyard can also handle residents with some disabilities or diseases, and the staff help with care for non-ambulatory seniors as well. People can come tour the place if they want to see it for themselves. The focus really stays on caring for each resident as an individual, especially those who have more complex needs, and providing a calm space to call home.
