Avista Senior Living Historic Downtown Mesa offers assisted living with a broad scope of clinical support. The community admits residents who wander in the morning or evening, have a history of elopement, exhibit combative or other behavioral issues, stay up all night, or need wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, or diabetes management by oral medication, injections, or sliding scale. The team also accepts adults under 60 and provides care for moderate dementia.

Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, and the building is equipped for full-time medication management, incontinence and ambulatory care, hospice coordination, and on-site visits from an optometrist, dentist, podiatrist, physical and occupational therapists. Staff can give complete assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained to use walkers, wheelchairs, standby support, and one- or two-person transfers.

Apartment layouts vary, and not every residence has the same features, but many offer a private bathroom and cable access. Emergency response systems are in place, and some units include a full kitchen for residents who like to prepare their own snacks or host visiting family.

Meals are planned and prepared by a professional chef and served three times a day, with snacks available between meals. Menus accommodate vegetarian choices, physician-ordered special diets, and guest meals for visiting friends or relatives. Staff monitor nutritional intake for residents with diabetes or other dietary requirements.

The building is wheelchair accessible and has an on-site barber and beauty shop, internet access, lounges, game and activity rooms, and an emergency call system in every apartment. Residents receive weekly housekeeping and laundry service and can join daily scheduled events, exercise classes, and outings to downtown Mesa’s museums, shops, and cafés; the Mesa Senior Center is directly across the street. Transportation is available for medical appointments and errands, and on-site healthcare professionals visit regularly. The community is pet friendly. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
