Christ and Candles Assisted Living Home sits at 930 W Placita Canalito in Green Valley, Arizona, where folks can get help with daily living in a quiet board and care setting that leans on a Christian atmosphere. The place only has six assisted living units, so it feels homey and small, and you can find studio, one-bedroom, and semi-private rooms, all with safety features and ADA-compliant bathrooms, and there's a well-lit dining hall where chef-prepared meals get served. They help with dressing, bathing, spoon feeding, toileting, and there's a licensed nurse on-call all day and night, plus staff help with daily activities like managing medicine, diabetic care, incontinence support, and even special services for folks with Parkinson's or advanced memory loss, which means they make time to tailor care plans based on what each person needs.
The place is managed by Mr. Joshua Ghiotto and Ms. Reena Ghiotto, and while it's got an A+ BBB rating, it doesn't hold a BBB accreditation, but it's licensed under number AL8988H, and they do monthly physician checkups and bring in visiting healthcare professionals such as nurses, podiatrists, dentists, and therapists, which covers physical, occupational, and speech therapy. People with dementia or Alzheimer's get special care in a separate memory care section with a wandering alert system-like bracelets that set off alarms if someone tries to leave-plus alarms for behavioral concerns, and they're able to handle exit-seeking and aggressive behaviors, using technology to keep folks safe while respecting dignity.
Christ and Candles helps with moving in, offers parking, laundry, linen service, and there's service within the home, so if anyone has trouble moving around, they get standby help or even mechanical lifts if needed, and the whole place is wheelchair accessible. Classes for arts and crafts, scheduled transportation, exercise room, theater room, beauty salon, massage therapy, a library, computer access, and even a private dining room and walking or jogging paths are among the amenities, as well as gardening, fitness options, weight management, pharmacy service, case management, and an emergency call system in every room.
Families get help with finding the right type of care through a consultation process, which takes into account unique needs before making a decision, and there's information online with reviews-like a 3.0-star "Very Good" rating on SeniorAdvisor.com-showing some firsthand experiences from other families. The community is open from early morning to evening every day, and the location means handy access to neighborhood amenities such as parks, cafes, pharmacies, hospitals, and places of worship. Christ and Candles Assisted Living Home focuses on safety, a simple life, help for daily needs, and respect for each person living there, with special attention for those needing memory care or higher levels of support.
