High Desert AL in Dewey, Arizona operates as both a Residential Care Home and a Memory Care residence. The community is equipped to support residents who wander during the day or night, experience behavioral issues, remain awake through the night, or require specialized wound care, oxygen therapy, and individualized diets. Care teams also manage diabetic needs across oral medications, injections, and sliding‐scale regimens, and they accept residents under 60 years old. The program is designed to accommodate moderate dementia conditions, and psychiatric diagnoses are accepted.
Clinical oversight is reinforced by a nurse on call 24 hours a day, background‐checked staff, an awake night shift, and full security coverage with door alarms, PERS pendants, and pull cords in resident areas. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer capabilities range from standby supervision and walker use to one‐person, two‐person, and full Hoyer lift support for bed‐bound residents, ensuring continuity of care even as mobility changes.
Private and semi‐private rooms are available, some with en‐suite bathrooms. Basic furnishings are supplied, yet residents may repaint and decorate their rooms to suit personal preferences. Cable connections, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry services are provided, though availability can vary by accommodation type.
Dining follows a set menu with the option for in-room service and physician-ordered diet modifications, including mechanical‐chopped, puréed, thickened liquids, vegetarian selections, and other special diets. Nutritious snacks are accessible between meals, and staff monitor intake for residents requiring assistance or oversight.
Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, outside smoking areas, community-wide internet access, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments and errands.
