Highgate Senior Living at Flagstaff offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care in one community, allowing residents to move between levels of support as needs change. The team is trained to manage wandering behaviors at any time of day, elopement risk, and residents who are awake throughout the night. Oxygen therapy, special diets, oral and injectable diabetic care, and sliding-scale insulin are all handled on site. Staff members are also experienced with advanced dementia conditions, providing consistent, evidence-based interventions for cognitive decline.
Clinical oversight is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift maintains round-the-clock coverage. Apartments are equipped with door alarms, pull cords, and a PERS system that alerts staff. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and transfer help ranges from standby supervision to two-person or full Hoyer lifts. An activity director coordinates programs that align with each level of care, while on-site security staff monitors the building continuously.
Accommodation options include units with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnished layouts, individual climate controls, cable connections, and in-unit laundry, though not every apartment contains every feature. Regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided, and residents who prefer can perform their own laundry in the unit when available. Independent Living residents may also elect medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, and laundry services to simplify daily routines.
Dining follows a set menu prepared to accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications such as gluten-free, mechanical-chop, puree, or thickened-liquid textures. Snacks are available throughout the day, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings or special occasions. Staff coordinate closely with medical providers to ensure nutritional plans align with each resident’s care needs, including carbohydrate tracking for diabetes and calorie adjustments for weight management.
Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and a pet-friendly policy; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. The property features a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, communal gardens, library, internet access, concierge desk, spa and massage room, visitors’ room, and on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments, shopping venues, and local events.
