Avant One Assisted Living, found in Scottsdale, Arizona, has a small home-like setting for seniors needing help each day, and there are only 10 licensed beds, so people get a lot of individual attention, and it's peaceful and close-knit, and they started this way back in 2000, so they know what they're doing, and they're licensed by state or local groups like the Department of Aging or Veteran's Services, and they have the license number AL8640H, so you'll find things are done properly. The place bridges the gap between living on your own and needing full-time nursing care, with help for daily things like bathing, dressing, medication, and eating, and staff are always there, day and night, keeping an eye on folks and lending a hand as needed. The rooms are either small studios, shared apartments, or one-bedroom suites, all furnished, and there's wheelchair access and private baths and showers, which helps people keep some independence and comfort, and the shared living spaces like dining rooms, walking paths, a garden, fitness and reading areas, a greenhouse, and even a place for ice sports and a movie night every now and then means residents can stay engaged with life.
The kitchen staff make all the meals and are good about different dietary needs-kosher, vegetarian, diabetic, allergy-sensitive, and there are snacks in between, plus dining help as needed, and laundry, linen, and housekeeping gets taken care of, too, with extra dry cleaning for folks who want it. Avant One runs all sorts of activities, some off-site and many onsite, to keep residents social and active, and there are community activities, daily programs, physical therapy, communal kitchens, massage services, even greenhouse gardening, general counseling, and help for people living with memory loss, dementia, or Parkinson's, and those who need high-level care or the help of home health services. There's regular health checking, medicine management, help with transfers and getting around, escorts inside the home, 24/7 response in emergencies, and even special care after surgery or when someone's recovering. Residents use wifi and cable TV, get help with telephone service, and can bring cats or dogs, with someone to assist with pet care too.
For families who need a break or have an emergency, Avant One offers respite care, letting someone stay there for a short time, and long-term skilled nursing, hospice care, adult day services, and both Medicare-certified and non-medical home care, though they don't take Medicare unless they're certified. Transportation is available for appointments, shopping, or outings, though there may be an added cost, and there's on-site parking for residents, so it's pretty accessible. You'll also see that Avant One tries to work with each resident's doctors for health coordination, and they handle everything from medication management, incontinence and non-ambulatory care, to falls management and manual feeding when needed. Here, people get personalized care in a small, more private house setting, so staff get to know each person well and focus on letting them do as much as they're able, keeping everyone's dignity and independence at the center, and you can get a better look at how it all works on their website avantoneassistedliving.com.
