Best of Europe

Best of Europe sits on a quiet street at 1632 East Coconino Street in Cottonwood, AZ, and you'll find it's a single-story building with a home-like feel, offering both private and semi-private rooms that have cable TV and air conditioning, and the place never has more than ten residents, so everyone gets to know each other and staff can pay close attention to each person. The community has caregivers and either a nurse or a doctor on site all the time, with certified staff who help with everything from bathing and dressing to medication, and they can care for people who have challenges like bladder or bowel incontinence or need diabetic support, even giving insulin shots if needed, and they've got a special area built just for folks with memory problems like Alzheimer's or dementia, staff who know how to help and bracelets to keep people from wandering off, plus doors that stay secure to keep everyone safe. You get daily housekeeping, laundry, nutritious home-cooked meals, snacks, and the staff serves three meals each day tailored to what you like and need, and there's always a feeling of home, not an institution, with lots of games, conversation, reading, group activities, and events that highlight different parts of European heritage, including programs where the rooms and recreation are named after places or themes from Europe, all meant to foster community and keep unique traditions alive. The caregivers work with each family and resident to plan personal care, manage health needs, and hold regular nurse checkups every three months, so changes in health are noticed early, and the staff has training in both regular assisted living and special memory care for people with dementia, making sure everyone gets the help and attention they need in an environment that feels familiar, safe, and calm. The setting is relaxed and residents have open visiting hours with family, with the chance for socialization or privacy as needed, and the building stays clean and bright, with WiFi and cable for everyone, plus transportation help when it's needed for medical visits or outings, making life a little easier for seniors who want quality, dignity, and a bit of European culture in their everyday living. The home is licensed by the state, meeting safety and health rules with an active assisted living license and offers three levels of care: Supervisory, Personal, and Directed, and every service, from help with daily living to planning sustainable care costs, comes with support from Caring Senior Transitions, LLC, which even offers free placement assistance for families who need help choosing where their loved one will live.
