Heritage Lane Behavioral Assisted Living in Mesa, Arizona offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, including support for advanced dementia. The care team is equipped to manage residents who are combative, exhibit behavioral challenges, stay awake at night, require wound care, use oxygen, follow special diets, or are younger than 60. Diabetic residents can be accommodated whether they take oral medications, insulin injections, or need sliding-scale adjustments. On-site podiatry and acceptance of psychiatric conditions allow most routine and specialized needs to be addressed without leaving the community.
An RN or LPN is on staff, and a nurse is on call 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, night shifts are staffed by awake caregivers, and an activity director coordinates daily programming. Safety measures include round-the-clock staffing, fenced rear grounds, door alarms, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff. Residents who need full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting receive hands-on help, and mobility support ranges from standby supervision to one- or two-person transfers for those using walkers or wheelchairs.
Accommodations include furnished rooms with private bathrooms, individual climate controls, cable access, and the option to paint or decorate. Scheduled laundry is provided. Not every room includes every feature, so families should confirm specific details during a visit.
Meals are available by set menu or cooked to order, with snacks offered throughout the day. Dietary modifications are routinely managed to meet medical or personal preferences, aligning with the facility’s emphasis on special diets and diabetic care.
Additional conveniences include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, internet access, and on-site religious services. The community participates in ALTCS and can arrange transportation for appointments or errands.
