Mingus Terrace Assisted Living Home in Cottonwood, Arizona, functions as both a Residential Care Home and a Memory Care provider. The community is equipped to administer supplemental oxygen and can adjust care plans as residents’ medical needs change, allowing individuals with chronic respiratory requirements to remain on site. Residents who live with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias receive structured support tailored to memory loss, benefiting from staff trained to manage cognitive decline in a smaller, home-style setting.

Around-the-clock safety measures underpin daily life. A nurse is on call 24 hours a day, and awake night-shift staff monitor residents in real time. Entryways are alarmed, the rear yard is fully fenced, and a Personal Emergency Response System immediately alerts staff to urgent situations. Background-checked caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, and dressing, while encouraging self-care for toileting whenever possible. Mobility support covers walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, and one-person transfers, helping residents move safely throughout the home.

Private and semi-private rooms come furnished, and many can be painted or decorated to reflect personal taste; however, not every accommodation includes every feature. Cable service is available in select rooms, and housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are included, relieving residents of daily chores while keeping living spaces tidy.

Meals follow a set menu designed to meet common nutritional needs, and snacks are on hand between dining times. The kitchen staff can accommodate physician-ordered or preference-based diet modifications such as mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, or vegetarian options to ensure residents maintain adequate nutrition and hydration.

Residents have access to several practical amenities: smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas, pets are allowed, the building is fully wheelchair accessible, and internet access is available for those who wish to stay connected. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
