Sage House – Calavar in Scottsdale, AZ operates as a licensed residential care home and is equipped to manage residents with complex medical profiles. The team is prepared for wandering or elopement tendencies, daytime or nighttime agitation, combative or other behavioral issues, and residents who stay up all night. Caregivers provide wound care, administer oxygen, and follow physician-ordered special diets. Diabetes management covers oral medications, injections and sliding-scale insulin. Advanced dementia care is supported, and the staff can work with adults under 60 who need a secure setting. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, and the home can handle all common transfer needs, from standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents.

The community staffs an RN or LPN and keeps a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Background-checked caregivers remain on site around the clock, with both awake and asleep night-shift coverage. Safety measures include a fenced rear area, alarmed doors and a PERS system that alerts staff instantly. Residents with psychiatric diagnoses are accepted, and the environment is structured to minimize risk while allowing as much personal freedom as possible.

Private and semi-private rooms are available; some include a private bathroom, furnished basics, independent temperature controls and cable service. Residents may paint or otherwise personalize their rooms. Routine housekeeping and scheduled laundry are part of the standard service package. Not every room offers every listed feature, so families should verify specific room amenities during a visit.
