Asela's Care Home - Cornell sits at 1859 E Cornell Dr, Tempe, AZ 85283, in a quiet neighborhood where folks can feel comfortable and safe, and you'll notice it's not very big, since it only has space for up to ten residents, which means things don't get too busy and the staff can keep a good eye on everyone, and that might be exactly what a person's looking for if they want more one-on-one attention. People recognize the place for giving honest help to families who are trying to work out what kind of long-term care's best, and there's even a local advisor on hand through a network so families don't feel left out of any decisions, and they'll walk you through the steps without pushing you toward one thing or another. The community's pretty flexible, too, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's, and even nursing care, all under one roof, which can sound reassuring if health needs change all of a sudden.
The building stays secure with locks and alarms to prevent wandering, especially for memory care residents, and staff are there twenty-four hours a day, ready to help with bathing, dressing, medication, and things like diabetic or incontinence care. There's always food cooked on site, three times a day, and the menu can shift around for people with special diets, such as for those with high blood pressure or diabetes, so folks aren't stuck eating what doesn't work for them. Rooms are fully furnished-choices range from semi-private to private-plus there's cable TV and Wifi, and staff handle the housekeeping, linens, and laundry, which lifts a big weight off residents' shoulders.
You'll find plenty of daily activities, so nobody's just sitting around unless they want to, with music, movies, board games, exercise classes, art, music therapy, pet visits, and even outdoor trips when the weather cooperates. The home has a reading room, a recreation area, outdoor spaces, a book room, and a hot tub and steam room, which some residents enjoy for relaxation, and the beauty shop can help folks feel more themselves. Pets are allowed, as long as they fit the guidelines, and the house stays smoke-free, which helps with breathing and health. Transportation's covered for medical visits, shopping, or church, and if someone's main caregiver needs a break, respite care fills in the gap for a while.
The home's licensed in Arizona, certified as AL0953H, and scores 4.6 stars over thousands of reviews. People may choose it for its home-like setting that doesn't feel overwhelming, the well-rounded approach to care, healthy meals, and friendly staff who keep things running smoothly, paying attention to each resident's changing needs. The community aims for a supportive, warm environment where everyone is treated with respect and dignity, and families stay informed about what's happening.
