San Nicolas Assisted Living Home Nw sits in Tucson, Arizona, right where the high desert valley spreads out under four mountain ranges, and this little sugar cookie-colored stucco building stands out as a women's only care home with room for up to 10 residents. Folks coming here find a home-like place filled with friendly faces, a safe and family-oriented feeling, and mountain views you can enjoy from the secured outdoor areas or maybe from the community gardens where you can sit and rest or join others for a stroll along the paths. The home runs with a team of CNA and RN staff who help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication, grooming, meal planning-including special diets for people with high blood pressure or diabetes-and will get you where you need to go, whether it's a doctor visit, a faith-based event, or just errands, with transportation and parking available for those who like to stay connected. People get three meals a day in furnished dining areas and can take part in engaging group activities, including weekly Adventures, arts and crafts, cooking programs, a Summer Camp, and music and pet therapy, with the Adventure Team always planning something that brings others together.
There's a focus here on making sure each lady gets the kind of care she needs, whether it's assisted living, independent options, Alzheimer's and memory care, respite care for short stays, or board and care services, all covered under license number AL1943H, with active and current licensing from the state. Staff remain trained to support seniors living with dementia, and they adapt care as needs change, from help getting in and out of the shower to medication reminders and even a mobile barber or stylist for those days you feel like freshening up. All the rooms are set up to feel cozy and private, safety measures like emergency alert systems are in place, and supervision runs around the clock. Residents can keep busy with movie nights, workout and music programs, creative projects, and game nights, or step out into the community to visit museums, gardens, art galleries, and restaurants nearby, so there's plenty of ways folks can form friendships and stay social in a small, close-knit group. The facility doesn't take Medicare payments unless otherwise certified, but it's always ready to talk with families about planning and what care would look like long term or for just a short respite, all with the aim of helping seniors age with grace, dignity, and a good sense of adventure.
