Hilda's Haven ALF#2 sits in Chandler, Arizona, and is a small, residential care home for up to five people, so residents tend to get more personal attention from the staff who are present and awake round the clock, and while nurses on staff can monitor blood sugar and give insulin, residents with diabetes do still need to manage some parts of their care too. The place supports people who need help moving-whether that's just a standby assist, a one-person or two-person transfer, or even if a resident needs a mechanical lift, and staff can remind or help those who deal with bowel or bladder incontinence. The care team also watches for behaviors common to Alzheimer's and other dementias, with memory care in a separate, secure building, outfitted with safety bracelets that set off alarms if anyone tries to exit unsupervised, and staff are trained for major behaviors, so residents with more advanced needs can stay longer as their health changes.
The community supports assisted living and board and care, so folk can stay as their care needs change, and they also handle hospice for end-of-life support and include transportation, whether someone needs to get to an appointment or wants to attend off-site activities or church, since devotional services happen outside the home. Residents can enjoy both indoor and outdoor common spaces, bring their own TV for their rooms, and sometimes even have their own cat or dog with them, depending on the situation. Mealtime includes nutritious meals and snacks, all planned and prepared on the spot. Activity programs keep everyone occupied, with something going on at home and sometimes outings away from the facility, too.
Daily routines include three full baths cleaned weekly, and residents who need it can get a daily bed bath. The small size and strong Christian-inspired atmosphere mean the staff try to focus on nurturing and supporting everyone to live well, and the licensed care home's location offers easy access to parks, cafes, restaurants, hospitals, pharmacies, places of worship, theaters, and more. They handle intake for most care types you'd expect at a senior care home-assistance with bathing, daily living needs, diabetes care, incontinence care, special care for non-ambulatory folks, and more, and while there aren't many frills, Hilda's Haven covers all the basics of senior living, memory care, and adult day services under the license number AL10869H, and is part of Caring Senior Transitions, LLC.
