Mesa Elder Care

Here at Mesa, we're a smaller operation but we have all the advantages needed to allow us to focus on our residents. Because of our smaller size, you'll find more of an opportunity to make strong bonds with your friends and neighbors, and experience the benefit of one-on-one care. You'll likely find that the comfortable environment and amenities we offer are just what you're looking for.

Our Community

Mesa Elder Care has outdoor common areas designed with accessibility and movement in mind. Our community is located near public transit options, providing residents with convenient transportation services, but we also offer complimentary transportation arrangements if needed. We have free street parking available to residents who have their own vehicle, or for family and friends to use for the duration of their visit. We think of our community as purpose-built, providing the benefit of individualized care - every aspect of the community is designed to benefit our residents. The owners live on-site and are always available to serve when needed.

Living Arrangements

We have private rooms for all of our residents, designed for wheelchair accessibility and ease-of-use by disabled residents. To provide a comfortable setting, our community has air conditioning, and temperatures are regulated to optimize safety. Our residents also enjoy free access to cable, satellite TV, and wireless internet.

On-Site Activities

Mesa Elder Care has designated staff members who regularly curate events and activities designed to keep our residents physically and mentally engaged. We categorize our communal spaces as activities rooms, libraries, and general media rooms for games and television.

Dining

Meals are provided regularly to all of our residents throughout the day, and room service is always an option, for those who would like some privacy while they dine. Our culinary staff can prepare meals for folks with any dietary restrictions, including low sodium or vegetarian options. Mesa Elder Care prides itself in creating exciting flavor profiles and nutritionally-balanced fares.

Personal Services

Mesa Elder Care offers residents an opportunity to sit back and relax while we handle the chores. This includes tidying up your space, as well as laundering and dry cleaning. We offer grocery shopping services to eliminate the need for trips to the store. When it comes to personal grooming, we're more than happy to take you to see your preferred beautician, barber, or nail technician.

Medical Care

Mesa Elder Care employs licensed nurse practitioners for administered injections and medication assistance, and employs a program to monitor insulin levels via glucose tests. Staff members are versed in the usage of the Hoyer Lift for transfer assistance. Our community is properly equipped and staffed to handle IV insertion and feeding tube management. We are also capable of providing incontinence care for bladder- and bowel-related symptoms, including catheter care.

Care services for residents with disorientation or lack-of-awareness issues ensure that all of our community members are well-directed and receive support in living a healthy lifestyle, and that no one's needs are neglected. Our facilities are secure and the staff is specially trained in de-escalating exit-seeking behaviors, as well as safely responding to any other behavioral issues or related occurrences that may arise.

On-Site Medical Services

Our staff is awake and available 24-hours-a-day to assist your loved one with any time-sensitive needs that may arise. We offer on-site massage therapy to our residents, along with speech therapy services provided by trained and certified speech-pathologists. Our residents can schedule reminders and exceptions for both medications and care activities. At Mesa Elder Care, we offer hospice services, as well as respite care - a short-term stay at a senior living community - perfect for those recovering from a hospital visit, the interim during which a caregiver takes an extended vacation, or simply to experience a senior living trial period.

Visiting Care

Regular visits from specialized occupational therapists are scheduled to aid residents with development, recovery, and maintenance of the skills needed for daily living. A visiting nurse is available, and a doctor is always on-call to handle adjustments in medication, provide consultations, and respond to any urgent medical needs that may arise. A dentist pays regular visits to our facility to monitor residents' oral hygiene, and we recruit a visiting podiatrist to ensure our residents are happy, fit, and mobile.
