Starfish Care Homes – Midtown A & B operates as a residential care home and is equipped to manage a broad range of medical needs. The staff routinely works with residents who wander during the day or night, have elopement risk, display combative or otherwise challenging behaviors, remain awake overnight, or live with advanced dementia. Clinical oversight extends to wound care, oxygen therapy, special diet monitoring, and diabetes management for those on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale regimens. Adults under 60 who require this level of clinical supervision can also be accommodated.
Care delivery is supported by a 24-hour nurse on call, background-checked staff, awake and asleep night-shift coverage, and continuous security with alarmed doors, PERS alert systems, and a fenced rear area. On-site podiatry visits and acceptance of residents with psychiatric diagnoses add more clinical depth. Full-assistance help is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer capabilities range from standby supervision to one- and two-person assists, full Hoyer-lift transfers, support for walkers and wheelchairs, and care for bed-bound individuals.
Accommodations include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnished rooms, individual climate controls, cable access, and the option to repaint or decorate, though not every room offers every feature. Independent-living residents can choose apartments with more self-managed space while still maintaining access to medication-management monitoring, regular housekeeping, and laundry services.
Meals are served on a set menu with the option to order alternatives, and snacks are available throughout the day. Dietary modifications—whether for diabetes, texture changes, or physician-directed restrictions—are routinely followed. Independent-living residents may opt into a monthly meal plan if they prefer not to cook in their own kitchenette.
Residents have access to on-site parking, an outdoor smoking area, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, community internet, landscaped gardens, and regularly scheduled religious services. Community transportation is available for medical appointments and errands, helping residents stay connected with greater Tucson without needing to drive themselves.
