Golden Oaks Annex Assisted Living is a small, comfortable community in Arizona with space for up to 6 residents, and the staff there help seniors with many needs, whether someone's looking for assisted living, memory care, respite care, board and care, or skilled nursing. Residents can pick from different room choices like one-bedroom, studio, shared, or memory care options, and every unit has things like private bathrooms, wheelchair accessible showers, full tubs, cable TV, and Wi-Fi, with furnished rooms if that's what someone needs. The community does allow residents to keep cats and dogs, and the staff can help people move in if that's something they want, and they even help folks get settled if moving's hard. There's support for anyone dealing with memory loss, Alzheimer's, dementia, or higher medical needs, and the memory care area's secure with technology like special bracelets to help prevent wandering, and there's a nurse on staff and a doctor on call too.
Residents get three homemade meals each day, and the kitchen makes vegetarian, kosher, and special diet dishes for diabetes, allergies, and other health conditions, with the staff giving help if feeding by spoon's needed. There's help for bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, transfers, incontinence, diabetes care including insulin shots, and even heavier care needs with things like mechanical lifts and standby assistance, and the caregiving staff stays available around the clock. For folks who use wheelchairs or have trouble walking, the place is set up for accessibility, and the caregivers can handle non-ambulatory care, high acuity care, and light to heavy support, with lots of experience helping with memory needs as well.
There's a comfortable feeling in the house, and there's both private and group areas where residents can meet, talk, or join activities. Inside, there are common spaces like a movie room, dining room, reading room, computer center, therapy room, beauty shop, and games room, and outside, there are porches, a garden, and trails for walking. Activities happen every day-things like music therapy, games, art, exercise, birthday parties, movie nights, group trips for shopping or spiritual gatherings, and animal therapy are planned by the staff to help everyone stay busy and connected. Residents have regular doctor check-ups, housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning, meals served in a restaurant-style dining area, and utilities like cable included, plus the staff helps with transportation for appointments and errands, sometimes at no cost. Security is tight, with trained staff present 24/7, and the property is secure to help residents dealing with memory impairment.
The monthly rate for assisted living begins around $3,000, and Golden Oaks Annex Assisted Living is licensed under Arizona #AL7615H, following rules set by the state. With just six residents at a time, people often get to know each other well, and the environment stays cozy and personal, especially since the staff try to work out individual plans and special requests so everyone feels supported and comfortable.
