Huger Mercy Living Center in Phoenix provides dedicated memory care designed for residents living with all stages of dementia, including advanced conditions. The community is equipped to care for individuals who wander during the day or night, exhibit exit-seeking or combative behaviors, stay awake through the night, or require complex clinical oversight such as wound care, oxygen management, and a range of diabetic protocols from oral medications to sliding-scale insulin. Residents under 60 who meet these medical criteria are also accepted, and special diets are coordinated by clinical staff to ensure nutritional goals are met.
Care delivery is supported by an RN or LPN on site, a nurse on call around the clock, and an awake night shift that monitors door alarms, fenced perimeters, and personal emergency response systems. Background-checked team members include an activity director who structures therapeutic programming throughout the day. On-site podiatry is available, and direct help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting can be provided at the full-assistance level. Transfer capabilities range from simple standby support to two-person, Hoyer lift, and bed-bound transfers, ensuring continuity of care as mobility needs change.
Private and semi-private rooms can be personalized, and residents may paint or decorate with family approval. Some accommodations include cable service, and all receive regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry. Because layouts and features vary, families are encouraged to confirm which rooms offer the specific options they value most.
Meals follow a set menu developed to support cognitive and physical wellness, and the kitchen can prepare gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid textures as ordered. Snacks are available between meals, and in-room dining is offered when a resident’s care plan calls for it. Clinical nutrition oversight allows the team to manage physician-ordered diet modifications without interrupting daily routines.
Community amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a wellness center, internet access, and secure communal gardens that give residents supervised outdoor time. Regular religious services are held on campus for those who wish to attend.
