Freedom Plaza Arizona in Peoria offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care on the same campus, allowing residents to move between levels of service without leaving the community. Care teams are trained to support advanced dementia and related challenges, including residents who wander in the morning or evening, attempt elopement, display combative behaviors, or stay awake through the night. The staff manages complex medical needs such as wound care, oxygen therapy, and diabetes—whether on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin—and can also accommodate residents under 60 who require support. On-site podiatry keeps routine foot health in house, reducing the need for outside appointments.
A secured environment and controlled access points help keep memory-care residents safe. Certified caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting and are trained in specialized transfer techniques: standby or supervised transfers, one-person and two-person assists, wheelchair transfers, full transfers with a Hoyer lift, and care for bed-bound individuals. The team coordinates special diets and textured meals as prescribed, ensuring nutritional guidelines are met alongside medical directives.
Apartments come in several floor plans that may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnishings, individual climate controls, and cable service. Residents are free to paint or decorate their rooms to suit personal tastes. Housekeeping is provided, and units may have in-suite laundry; when they do not, scheduled laundry services are available. Not every accommodation contains every listed feature, so prospective residents can select the layout and amenity mix that best meets their preferences.
Meals follow a set menu prepared by culinary staff who can modify entrées for physician-ordered or personal dietary needs, including gluten-free and vegetarian options. Snacks are available throughout the day, and in-room dining is offered for those who prefer or require it. The nutrition team works closely with nursing to manage calorie counts, carbohydrate tracking for diabetics, and other specialized diet plans.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, outdoor smoking zones, and pet-friendly policies. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Amenities include an on-site barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie theater, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge desk, library, and a variety of special-interest clubs. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments, shopping, and local events without having to arrange their own travel.
