Sunflower Hills Assisted Living Home in Glendale, Arizona, operates as a residential care home and is equipped to admit residents with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. The staff can manage wandering—day or night—elopement risk, combative or other challenging behaviors, and residents who stay up all night. Clinical support includes wound care, oxygen therapy, physician-ordered special diets, and diabetes management through oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale coverage. The community also accepts adults under 60 and provides care for advanced dementia, enabling residents with complex cognitive decline to remain on site.
Around-the-clock staffing includes an awake night shift, 24-hour security, and a nurse on call at all times. Employees undergo background checks, exits are alarmed, and the rear yard is fenced; residents also wear personal emergency response devices that alert staff immediately. On-site medical services extend to podiatry, and the community accepts individuals with psychiatric conditions. Caregivers offer full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, along with transfer help ranging from standby supervision to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents.
Accommodations include private or shared rooms, some of which feature a private bathroom, furnished setups, individual climate controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided, helping residents maintain a clean and comfortable living space. Because room layouts vary, not every accommodation includes every feature; families should confirm the specifics of any room under consideration.
Dining follows a set menu with the option to order select items, and snacks are available throughout the day. Meals can be served in the dining area or in the resident’s room, with texture modifications such as mechanical chop, purée, or thickened liquids offered as prescribed. Vegetarian, gluten-free, and other specialized diets are prepared on request, and staff monitor meal plans to support residents with medical nutrition needs, including strict diabetic management.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, internet service, communal gardens, on-site religious services, scheduled transportation, and designated outdoor smoking spaces.
